Boiler servicing is an important maintenance procedure undertaken to ensure that the boiler is in good working order and that it provides safe heating for your home or office. The importance of servicing your boiler cannot be underestimated. It can literally mean life and death. Hot water has a very high temperature, and if your boiler is not serviced regularly it can cause burns, leakages and explosions. Hot water leaks can also cause severe damage to plasterwork and ceilings in the home and may lead to structural damage in your home. The importance of servicing your boiler cannot be stressed enough.
The first thing you will need to do before you begin servicing your boiler is to ensure that you contact a gas safe engineer to carry out any servicing and repairs. Unless you are a qualified engineer, never attempt to do this kind of work yourself. For plumbing supplies, such as Copper Pipe Fittings, go to Watkins and Powis
Other reasons to have a regular boiler service is to ensure that you don’t have a carbon monoxide leak. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a silent killer and so for this issue alone, boiler servicing is essential.
Nobody wants to be stuck with no heating or hot water, especially during the colder months and this is further reasoning for a yearly boiler service. This way you can guarantee that you won’t be waking up one cold winter morning to a cold shower!
