As we wave goodbye to summer and turn our minds toward the winter months, we move indoors from our gardens and in to the house. But is your house ready for the long British winter? One of the most important appliances in your house is your boiler, and you should consider an annual boiler service.
Many people do not give any attention to their boilers once installed. Granted, they will probably run solidly for several years. However, there are many reasons to consider having your boiler serviced, below are a few of those.
- Efficiency
Boiler efficiency is vital through the winter months to keep your house warm and your water hot. Over time, a boiler can become less efficient and it will take you longer to warm your hours. This ultimately will add more money to your energy bills as you’re having to heat your boiler higher for longer. A boiler service can identify efficiency issues. - Prevent problems
Boilers are one of the largest expenses in any home and replacing them is incredible costly. A regular boiler service can help identify any potential problems early and so that you can have them repaired. This lessens the likelihood of you needing to replace your boiler and lengthen the life of it. - Safety
Generally boilers are very safe, but they can run in to difficulties. A boiler service can help identify any tell-tale signs of problems that may be developing. With things such as carbon dioxide poisoning – which can be fatal – possible from boilers, it’s better safe than sorry. - Warranty
Finally, having your boiler serviced by a qualified or accredited boiler engineer, such as Wirral Heating, can help extend your manufacturers warranty.
