Servicing

Gas or Oil fired, all modern boilers benefit from yearly servicing.

It is usually a requirement of the boiler’s guarantee that this is carried out and recorded in the log book. It makes sense, as it ensures the boiler works at top efficiency.

It also includes many safety checks which are essential for your peace of mind. An in-date tested Carbon Monoxide alarm at the location of each appliance is recommended.

Maintenance

It’s not just the boiler that requires servicing!

The whole system needs to be checked over and heat tested to make sure all is well.

Do all the valves and thermostats work?  Are the radiator thermostats stuck? Is the pump noisy? Is the system water clean?  You need to know.

Installation

Boilers that are beyond repair need replacing with something better.

That is why you need a Worcester-Bosch boiler, the quality is first class.  The reliability is class leading and the back-up – should you need it – is excellent.

There are cheaper boilers to purchase, but really – are they any cheaper over their lifetime? I will cleanly, quickly and efficiently install your new boiler.

There will be dustsheets in abundance!  All the mess will be removed, and the area left tidy.

Setup

The boiler needs to be balanced and range rated. The radiator system needs to be balanced so each radiator gets the correct flow. Any controls need to be carefully considered as to how you will use them and set accordingly.

System Flushing

The old boiler may have gone, but if we simply reconnect it to the existing system, we will be storing up problems for the future.

I use an Adey Magnacleanse magnetic filter to remove the magnetite. In a couple of hours all is clean and ready to serve you well for many years.

Check the link to see the long-term money savings this will bring never mind the increased reliability.

Controls and Upgrades

Often the controls are basic on an old system.  Sometimes there isn’t even a room thermostat or hot water controls.  Sometimes the cylinder has poor insulation.

Did you know every one-degree C you turn your thermostat down will save you 10 percent off your heating bill?  Or fitting a well-insulated hot water cylinder could pay back in a few years?

Or have you heard of the “Boiler Plus” scheme which came out in April 2018?  Modern and efficient does not have to be complicated to use!  
The time has come to consider upgrading your heating system.

Landlords

For landlords I offer a yearly safety check which can be combined with a service. It must be carried out every 12 months as a legal requirement.

I use the Gasengineer Software to electronically log and share all the information. Eleven months later, it provides a reminder for a consistent and proactive service.  No more chasing the plumbers!
