🔍 WHO WILL SERVICE MY BOILER AND WHAT QUALIFICATIONS SHOULD I CHECK FOR?

🔧 WHY DOES A BOILER NEED REPAIR OR SERVICING?

Just like any household appliance, your boiler experiences wear and tear over time. With daily use — especially during colder months — it’s common for performance and efficiency to drop. There are two key reasons for this: First, as the boiler operates, it produces soot as a by-product of combustion. This soot can build up on internal components, reducing heat output and forcing the system to work harder 🔥🛠️ Second, the air-to-fuel ratio, which is critical for efficient and safe operation, can drift out of balance over time due to natural component wear. This leads to less effective heating and higher energy bills 💸

Regular boiler servicing and repairs help:

Maintain peak performance

Improve energy efficiency

Reduce the risk of breakdowns

Ensure your system remains safe and compliant

Because boilers are often used every day of the year, it’s essential to keep them properly maintained. A routine service can catch small issues early and help avoid costly repairs or safety hazards down the line.
