Booking A Boiler Service In Belfast

Why is it important to service your boiler annually?

Servicing your boiler annually can help to increase its lifespan and keep it running safely and efficiently. If you look after your heating system, it will lower your gas bill on a longer run and save your money.
When doing a boiler service, a heating engineer can detect any small issues and get them fixed to avoid any serious issues and expensive breakdowns in future.
Another benefit of regular annual checks is keeping your boiler manufacturers warranty. Unfortunately if you missed your annual boiler service and you have boiler thats locking out or your boiler not working then your warranty may be invalid. You will need to arrange a boiler engineer to visit your property for inspection.
It is also important to have your boiler checked to avoid the risk of a gas leak. We recommend to install a carbon monoxide alarm in every room with gas appliances to keep you and your family safe.
