WHY SERVICE YOUR GAS APPLIANCES.
There are many reasons why you should service/maintain your gas appliances in your home. Most importantly, are your gas appliances operating safely. carbon monoxide is odourless, invisible and can be deadly. The most common gas appliance in peoples homes these days are central heating boilers. Looked after they can provide years of trouble free and safe heating and hot water for your home. Many come with long manufacturer warranties against defects and breakdowns. However every manufacturer insists that the boiler is serviced every 12 months around the boiler installation anniversary date. The home owner must have evidence of this, normally in the form of a Service Report, issued by a Gas Safe registered business/engineer, and they insist that the service log book, that you will have provided, when the boiler was installed. Much in the same way as your service log book for a car works. In these times of rising costs for everything, it can be tempting to save money and skip a service, but if your warranty covered boiler breaks down, a simple repair can run into hundreds of pounds quite easily.

BOILER SERVICING
The boiler on the left was 5 years old. Never been serviced, and unfortunately needed replacing. This could have been avoidable had it been serviced every year. It did have a 7 year manufacturers warranty when it was installed, but this was null and void as its annual servicing had not been adhered to.
