FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is involved in a boiler service?

The engineer will inspect the boiler’s external condition, including the pipes, controls, and surrounding area.

  • Check for Leaks: They will check for any visible water or gas leaks around the system, which could indicate a problem.
  • Heat Exchanger Cleaning: The heat exchanger may be cleaned to remove any soot, dirt, or debris that can accumulate and affect the system’s efficiency.
  • Burner Cleaning: The burner, which produces the heat, is cleaned to ensure that it burns fuel properly and efficiently.
  • Flue Check: The flue, which vents gases from the boiler, is checked to ensure it is not blocked or damaged.
  • Pilot Light & Flame Inspection: The engineer will check the pilot light (if applicable) or the electronic ignition system. The flame should be blue, indicating the combustion is working properly.
  • Thermostat Test: The thermostat is tested to ensure the correct temperature is set and the boiler is responding properly.
  • Pressure Check: The pressure gauge is inspected, and the system is topped up if necessary to ensure it remains within the recommended range.
  • Safety Devices Check: Safety features such as the pressure relief valve and the gas valve are tested to ensure they function correctly.
