Annual Boiler Service

Customers often ask us whether they need to get their boiler serviced or what is the reason for an annual boiler service?

Our answer to these questions are simple YES, we recommend you get your boiler serviced once a year.  As this helps to keep your manufacturer’s guarantee and assists in the maintainance of your boiler. Helping find any faults or small repairs each year allows your boiler to be more energy efficient and maximises its lifespan, keeping the cost of a new boiler away for a little longer.

Why Service your boiler?

A faulty boiler can be extremely dangerous. At Northwich Boilers, we recommend everyone gets their boiler serviced yearly to give you and your family peace of mind knowing your boiler is running sufficiently during these colder months. Your annual boiler service is vital to safeguard you and your family against fires, explosions, gas leaks and carbon monoxide poisoning. 

We recommend a yearly boiler service. As explained above, most boilers have a warranty. This can only be maintained if your service records are kept updated.  An annual boiler service can increase the lifespan of your current boiler and help find issues and faults, helping you spread the cost of repair and minimising the cost of a new boiler. 

At Northwich Boilers, we understand that the price of energy, at the moment, is on all our customer’s minds, and we want to help you save your pennies in the long term.  A regularly serviced boiler is more energy efficient as it won’t be burning fuel the same as faulty boilers would, helping our customers save money on their energy bills. 

If you are a landlord, you are legally required to have all gas boilers and appliances Gas Safe Certified or you could face large fines and/or even jail time.

By law you must:

  • Repair and maintain gas pipework, flues and appliances in a safe condition
  • Ensure an annual gas safety check on each appliance and flue
  • Keep a record of each safety check.

At Northwich Boilers, we offer homecare packages carried out by our local gas safe engineers. Our homecare packages are similar to Britsh Gas Homecare. We offer this service to help our customers keep updated with their annual boiler servicing. We also offer a landlord’s package helping to safeguard you and your tenants.

What do our engineers look at when they carry out a boiler service? 

We get the boiler fired up to identify if their are any faults.
Check the main components including the burner, heat exchanger and spark electrode.
We check the flue terminals and internal flue compartments are sealed properly.
Using our flue gas analyser, we will check the burner to make sure it’s burning efficiently.
We will clean any boiler parts if necessary
Carry out a gas tightness test to ensure there are no gas leaks
We will check the boiler casing to make sure it's sealed properly.
We will check to see if the condensed pipe is blocked due to sulphur residue.
