Servicing And Maintenance Details

Manufacturers generally agree that most gas appliances should be inspected and if necessary cleaned at intervals no more than 12 months. Taking a central heating boiler for example, use over a year will result in build up of deposits on the heat exchanger that if not removed can bake on so hard that they become difficult or impossible to get off later. This decreases efficiency and with the cost of gas being what it is at the moment it doesn't take long before your un-maintained boiler is burning more in excess gas, than the cost of having it serviced. You may also be running with increased carbon emissions, which in the long term is no good for anyone. When servicing, we use the very latest digital gas analysis equipment and perform all checks to manufacturers specifications.

Another good reason for having appliances serviced is your safety. It is imperative that conventionally flued (with a chimney or flue pipe) gas appliances be checked every year without fail. We're sure you've seen media images and articles on dangers of carbon monoxide. The great shame is that the majority of these deaths/injuries would not have happened if the appliances in question had been checked by a competent person. Sometimes people are tempted to just clean the outer of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner and be satisfied that they've 'serviced' it themselves, but how would they know if something had blocked or restricted the flue for example?

So take our advice, get your appliances checked EVERY year, you'll be better off financially, greener and confident that your appliance is operating as safely as possible.
