If you use a gas boiler to heat your house as well as provide hot water, you must get an annual boiler service performed. I have outlined five causes why here.
a) The first and most crucial consideration is Protection. All gas boilers emit combustion products that are dispersed through a flue attached to the boiler. The flue is inspected and tested for product leakage during the annual boiler servicing.
We all know how harmful co gas is; you can’t smell or see it, but it can be fatal, so the boiler flue is an essential element of boiler service.
b) During the yearly boiler service, the specialist performs a combustion test with a gas analyzer, which provides a reading of how the boiler is burning gas. This reading is compared to the boiler maker’s technical standards, and any modifications that are required are carried out.
Many gas boilers are now intended to be very efficient and save you money on your energy bills; but, an unmaintained gas boiler will gradually cost you more than that to run and finally require a new boiler.
c) Numerous boilers are now high-efficiency reducing boilers that create condense water, which is acidic and must leave into an interior drain if possible or an outdoor drain that is sheltered from the cold weather. Within the boiler is a condensate trap, similar to what you’d find under the kitchen sink; it’s still full of water, and it has to be cleaned out and inspected.
The condense trap and pipework should be checked because they are part of the boiler’s flue. If there is a small leak inside the condense trap or pipework, it could leak CO into the room where the boiler is located.
d) Several additional tests are also performed, including ensuring that the gas supply is of the suitable size for the boiler and that ventilation, if necessary, is compliant. In broad, inspect the boiler for any hidden flaws and that it is operating as intended.
e) If your gas boiler is under warranty, you must have an annual boiler service performed to keep the warranty valid. The service can only be performed by gas-safe registered engineers who are also registered for boilers.
Keeping an annual gas boiler service is totally up to you, there are no regulations as of yet, but Safeness is the most necessary part of any emergency boiler service in London.
