Catch Problems Early On
Undergoing regular inspection of your boilers means that potential issues can be identified and addressed as soon as possible, preventing them from developing into major problems that cause severe damage and require costly repairs. No matter how small the problem with your boiler may seem, it will only worsen the longer it is ignored, leading to the need for a complete boiler replacement. For those concerned about maintaining their entire heating system, our team can also conduct radiator repairs that keep your property in good working order.
Cheaper than Replacement
If you are concerned about the cost of boiler servicing, you will probably be surprised to learn that it costs an average of £100 – much less than the cost of a new boiler installation. Regular checks ensure your system continues to run properly, reducing the need for emergency plumbing services and preventing a breakdown due to consistent upkeep. Remember, a well-maintained boiler will likely last longer than one that has not been serviced!
Save Money on Energy Bills
Whilst you may believe that servicing your boiler costs unnecessary money, it is important to consider that the maintenance work carried out by our Colchester-based plumbers increases the efficiency of your boiler. As a result, you are more likely to save money on your bills as less energy is wasted whilst your property continues to reap the benefits of a reliable hot water and heating supply. If you have an old heating system, our team can also conduct a radiator replacement that reduces water usage, adding to your savings.
Ensure Your Safety
Did you know that around 4000 people in the UK go to A&E each year with carbon monoxide poisoning? Furthermore, because the symptoms are similar to those of having the flu, many people assume they are suffering from a curable illness instead of a life-threatening one. Regular boiler servicing provides the peace of mind that you and your loved ones are safe, warns you of potential issues, and allows our Gas Safe engineers to conduct leak repairs before the problem becomes more serious.
Legal Requirement for Landlords
If you are a landlord, you are required by law to complete annual boiler inspections on all gas appliances in your properties, ensuring the safety of your tenants. This remains part of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, and failure to comply can result in fines or even imprisonment. Please call our team for advice and recommendations on boiler installations, repairs, and servicing.
