Boiler Servicing

There are different types of boiler servicing depending on the type of boiler you have. The most common types of boiler are combi, system and conventional boilers. Each type of boiler has different servicing requirements.

Combi Boiler Servicing

A combi boiler doesn’t need a separate hot water cylinder, so it takes up less space than other types of boiler. It’s an ideal boiler for small homes as it provides instant hot water on demand. Combi boilers should be serviced every 12 months by a gas safe registered engineer.

System Boiler Servicing

A system boiler heats the water in your home and stores it in a hot water cylinder. It doesn’t need a cold water tank, so it takes up less space than other types of boiler. System boilers are suitable for homes with multiple bathrooms as they can provide enough hot water for multiple taps at the same time. System boilers should be serviced every 12 months by a gas safe registered engineer.

Conventional Boiler Servicing

A conventional boiler has a separate hot water cylinder and cold water tank. It’s the most common type of boiler in the UK. Conventional boilers are suitable for homes with multiple bathrooms as they can provide enough hot water for multiple taps at the same time. Conventional boilers should be serviced every 12 months by a gas safe registered engineer.

Businesses are legally required to have their boilers serviced at least once a year by a gas safe registered engineer. This is to ensure that the boiler is operating safely and efficiently.

Boiler Servicing in Rented Properties

Landlords are legally required to have their boiler serviced at least once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This is to ensure that the boiler is operating safely and efficiently. Tenants should also be given a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate.

Private Boiler Servicing

It is recommended that homeowners have their boiler serviced at least once a year by a gas safe registered engineer. This is to ensure that the boiler is operating safely and efficiently. Homes with multiple occupancy (HMOs) are legally required to have their boiler serviced at least once a year by a gas safe registered engineer.

Boiler servicing is important because it helps to keep your boiler operating safely and efficiently. Regular servicing can also help to extend the life of your boiler. If you have a boiler that is more than 10 years old, it is recommended that you have it serviced every 6 months by a gas safe registered engineer.

Only Gas Safe registered engineers should service boilers. Gas Safe is the UK’s official gas safety organisation. Engineers who are not registered with Gas Safe may not be qualified to service your boiler safely.
