In winter your boiler is pretty much your best friend – be it
keeping you cosy or providing hot water to wash, it provides what you need when
you need it. However if you don’t take proper care of your boiler and heating system
they might just let you down when you need it most.
So to help explain why you should book a boiler service before
this winter period really hits we compiled some tops reasons why we feel you
should get your boiler serviced regularly.
1. This is pretty much the best reason we have – A FAULTY
BOILER CAN KILL YOU!
Carbon monoxide can be produced by boilers that haven’t been
properly fitted or maintained and the gas has no odour or colour so you may not
even know there’s a problem. So it’s essential your get your boiler checked out
regularly and at the very least once a year.
2. If you are renting the property out – You are legally
required to have a Gas Safety Certificate.
These can only be issued by Gas Safe Registered Engineers
which means you stay on the right side of the law and your tenants stay safe.
3. Have your boiler serviced regularly will save you money.
By having your boiler serviced annually you can deal with
problems that occur one at a time and thus reduce the time spent on labour and
parts whereas if you just leave it till it breaks you may get a hefty bill for
parts and labour that could have been avoided.
