Boiler Servicing
Servicing your boiler on a regular basis improves the performance of your appliance, and thus, its lifespan. But more importantly, investing in specialist boiler inspection and testing will ensure the safety of your family and property. The engineer will inspect the appliance, piping, valves, connections, etc. for any signs of rust, leaks or other types of faults. Here are some of the main reasons why you should not delay your boiler servicing session:
- Safe Use – A malfunctioning boiler can put people’s lives at risk, be it because of the silent killer – carbon monoxide or due to the appliance catching fire.
Warranty issues – Skipping your annual boiler service for whatever reason will result in your appliance’s warranty becoming invalid. This means that if your boiler breaks down, the repairs will be at your expense.
Energy efficiency – A well-maintained and regularly serviced boiler performs more energy-efficiently, providing you with comfort in the cold weather and efficient heating
Longer lasting – Your boiler will perform better and for years to come if you ensure that it’s serviced every year, that’s for sure.
Landlords Are Legally Required – A landlord must hire a Gas Safe Registered engineer to perform an annual gas safety check and boiler servicing, in order to obtain their gas safe certificate, without which, they would be breaching the law if continuing to rent out their property.
Gas Safety Certificates
As a landlord, an annual gas safety check must be carried by a Gas Safe Registered engineer under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. A gas safety check will ensure that the gas fittings and appliances in your Felixstowe property are safe to use.
We always work with your tenants to arrange convenient times to visit. Give us their contact details and we’ll book appointments for you, so you don’t have to worry.
We pride ourselves on providing a robust and professional Landlord Gas Safety Certificate check service in Felixstowe.
FAQs
The age of your appliance is a definite telltale sign of whether you need to consider replacing your existing boiler. You see, once your water heating device has served you for more than 10 years, the likelihood of you encountering issues with it increases. Not to mention that older boilers are far less energy-efficient than modern models.
This will depend on your individual situation, with regards to the type and model of water heating appliance you need installing. On average, your boiler installation service can take between 1 or 2 days.
Yes, just specify in advance your request and we’ll make sure that the engineer comes prepared to install a thermostat/timer during the service.
Not skipping (delaying) your annual boiler inspection and servicing will, for sure, guarantee that you enjoy a safe, reliable and energy-efficient heating and hot water system.
Not necessarily, providing your existing radiators have no issues. If, of course, you have outdated and faulty radiators, you better replace them as soon as possible. Bundling up the two jobs at the same time will save you time, money and hassle, as you won’t have to face the process of draining your whole system if you decide to install new radiators at a later date.

Yes, it does. You should always service your boiler annually, which means before the 12-months period ends since your last inspection. Failure to do so will result in the boiler’s warranty becoming invalid. On another note, the summer months are the best time to service your appliance for the first time, as this will put your mind at rest that you’re all prepared for the coming heating season.
Yes, you can install a carbon monoxide detector and a smoke alarm to boost your property and family’s safety. In addition, there are a few regular checks that you can do yourself, too, such as inspecting the temperature, water level and pressure of your boiler. Last but not least, keep your manual book handy, so when boiler service day comes, you can present it to the technician without delay.
