Introduction
A well-functioning boiler is essential to keep your home warm and comfortable, especially during the cold winter months. But did you know that regular boiler servicing is crucial to maintaining its optimal performance? In this blog post, we will delve into the importance of having your boiler serviced regularly and how it can save you money, ensure your safety, and prolong the life of your appliance.
1. Ensuring Safety
One of the primary reasons to have your boiler serviced regularly is to ensure its safe operation. A faulty or poorly maintained boiler can lead to dangerous situations such as gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, fires, or even explosions. According to statistics from Gas Safe Register in 2020/21 in Great Britain alone there were 656 reported non-fatal gas-related injuries and 3 fatalities.
During a professional service visit, an engineer will thoroughly inspect all components of your system for wear and tear or damage that could cause potential hazards. They will also check for proper ventilation and make sure that no harmful gases are being released into your living space.
2. Improving Efficiency & Saving Money
Regularly servicing your boiler helps maintain its efficiency by ensuring all components are working together seamlessly. A well-maintained system requires less energy to heat water and distribute it throughout your home – which translates into lower energy bills.
According to Energy Saving Trust (EST), an efficient condensing gas boiler can save up to £305 per year on heating costs compared with an old G-rated model. By keeping up with annual servicing appointments, you’re not only protecting yourself from costly repairs but also potentially saving hundreds on energy expenses over time.
