How often is Boiler Servicing Needed?
A boiler should be serviced yearly, whether an oil boiler or a gas boiler. Performing a boiler service once a calendar year might not be sufficient, as it needs to be done within twelve months of the previous service.
A qualified heating engineer should service your boiler annually. In addition to inspecting the appliance, they will make sure it is operating properly. Your boiler will be inspected so that you can be reassured that it is working effectively and safely.
In spite of what you may have heard, there is no legal requirement for homeowners to perform an annual boiler service. In any case, homeowners have a duty of care to make certain that their gas appliances are safe and that there isn't a risk to them or to others. It is a great idea to service your boiler annually to ensure peace of mind and keep your warranty valid.
Who is needed for a boiler service?
Boilers cannot be serviced by just anyone. An engineer who is Gas Safe Registered is the only person qualified to repair your gas boiler.
Oil boilers should be serviced by OFTEC registered engineers. It’s always advisable to ask a registered engineer for ID before they begin their inspection. Having your boiler serviced every twelve months and well maintained is a great way to ensure it lasts longer.
