Do My Pipes Need Changing
Boilers are crucial for providing and maintaining comfort of your home or workplace throughout the year, especially during the colder months. However, poor upkeep can impact the boiler’s reliability; it may even cause the boiler to malfunction and ultimately break down. Along with imposing safety risks, a boiler in serious need of servicing may add to your energy consumption and inflate electricity costs for you. In the UK, it is recommended that boilers should be serviced once annually. This ensures that the boiler runs safely, efficiently, and reliably throughout the year without any inconveniences. In this blog, we will discuss the significance of timely boiler servicing, how it can maintain your home’s or workplace’s comfort and functionality, and why it is a sound expenditure.
Why Should You Get Your Boiler Serviced?
1- Safety
A well-maintained boiler has a myriad of benefits and enhanced efficiency shines out among them as a substantial advantage. Over time, a boiler accumulates dust, soot, and other debris. This buildup behaves like an insulating blanket, making your boiler function harder to generate the same amount of heat.
2- Efficiency
Due to the clogging of the heat exchanger and reduced heat transfer, the scale and sediment-ridden boiler ceases to function efficiently. By removing these efficiency-sapping substances, your boiler uses less fuel to produce the same amount of heat.
3- Long-Term Functionality
A boiler that is repaired professionally does not last you for a short period of time; it extends the boiler’s lifespan and ensures lasting efficiency. This long-term functionality optimises your home’s or workplace’s warmth and comfort, therefore bringing peace of mind to you and your loved ones. This makes the boiler function smoothly at optimal performance for years to come.

Boiler Leaks

Unusual Sounds
Any banging, gurgling, or other atypical sounds could mean your boiler is malfunctioning.
Sudden boiler shutdowns
Your boiler cuts out unexpectedly, leaving you cold and with no hot water.
Overflowing F&E Tanks
Continuous filling of F&E tanks could be due to high boiler pressure, probably due to malfunctioning pressure valves or expansion vessels.
Musty Odours
Any reeking could be an indication of mould growth, possibly a consequence of dampness from the boiler of inefficiency.
No/Uneven Heating
Little or no production of hot water or heat could be a sign of an out of order thermostat, a defective pump, a blocked flue, or accumulation of air in the heating system.
