Why every year?
Over a year, soot, scale and dirt build up and parts wear. A service finds problems early, while they are small and cheaper to fix, and checks that the flue is safe.
What a service covers
- Safety checks on the gas supply, the flue and the boiler's safety devices.
- Testing how the boiler is burning with a flue gas analyser.
- Cleaning the magnetic filter, where one is fitted.
- A report of what was found.
Warranty
Most manufacturers require an annual service by a registered engineer to keep the warranty valid, so a missed service can cost you if something fails.
Landlords
Landlords must also have a gas safety check every 12 months and give tenants a copy of the record (CP12). The check and the service can be done on the same visit.
