Keep Your Home Warm and Safe with a Professional Boiler Service
At gas-elec, we understand that your boiler is the heart of your home, especially during the colder months. Ensuring it’s running safely and efficiently isn’t just about comfort; it’s about peace of mind. We pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive, friendly, and expert boiler servicing experience tailored to your needs.
Choose the right boiler service for you
We offer a range of boiler servicing options to suit every home and budget, from routine annual check-ups to one-off inspections.
Annual boiler service
An annual boiler service is the best way to ensure your heating system remains in top condition year after year. We service all types of domestic boilers, including:
Combi Boilers: Compact and efficient, providing instant hot water on demand.
Regular Boilers: Also known as conventional or heat-only boilers, these require a separate hot water cylinder and cold water tank.
System Boilers: Similar to regular boilers but with many components built into the unit, making them more compact.
What’s included?
Our annual boiler service is a thorough inspection designed to identify any potential issues before they become major problems. Our Gas Safe registered engineers will:
– Visually inspect the boiler and its components.
– Check the operating pressure and gas flow.
– Examine the flue and ventilation.
– Test the boiler’s safety devices.
– Clean internal components as necessary.
– Check for any leaks or corrosion.
– Provide a full report on the boiler’s condition and any recommendations.
One-off boiler service
Perhaps you’ve just moved into a new property, or it’s been a while since your boiler had a professional check-up. Our one-off boiler service is perfect for ensuring your system is safe and efficient.
What’s included?
The same comprehensive checks as our annual service, providing you with a detailed understanding of your boiler’s current state.
So why get a boiler service?
Regular boiler servicing isn’t just a recommendation; it’s an investment in your home and, most importantly, your peace of mind.
Keeps it efficient
A well-maintained boiler operates more efficiently, meaning it uses less energy to heat your home. This translates directly into lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
Gives peace of mind
Knowing your boiler has been professionally checked gives you confidence that it’s operating safely and reliably, reducing the worry of unexpected breakdowns.
Keeps you safe
Gas boilers, if not properly maintained, can pose serious safety risks, including the threat of carbon monoxide leaks. Regular servicing ensures your boiler is operating safely and efficiently, giving you peace of mind and protecting your family.
Validate your boiler’s warranty
Most boiler manufacturers require annual servicing by a qualified engineer to keep your warranty valid. Without it, you could face expensive repair costs if something goes wrong.
Prevent future breakdowns
Catching small issues early during a boiler service helps prevent costly, inconvenient breakdowns, especially when reliable heating matters most in the colder months. Keep your home warm and stress-free by staying on top of your boiler servicing.
Extend its lifespan
Much like a car, your boiler needs regular maintenance to stay in top condition. Routine servicing helps extend its lifespan and can delay the need for a costly replacement.
Here’s what we’ll do during your boiler service
When a gas-elec engineer arrives to service your boiler, you can expect a professional, thorough inspection from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
Visual Inspection: We’ll start with a visual check of your boiler and all visible pipework, looking for any signs of corrosion, leaks, or damage. We’ll also ensure adequate ventilation.
Operating Pressure and Gas Flow Check: We’ll test the boiler’s operating pressure and measure the gas flow to ensure it’s within the manufacturer’s specifications. For oil boilers, we’ll check the oil pressure and flow.
Flue and Chimney Check: We’ll inspect the flue to ensure it’s clear and safely discharging combustion products.

FAQs
How long does a boiler service take?
A typical boiler service usually takes between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of boiler and its condition.
What are common boiler problems?
Boilers can experience a range of issues, from minor inconveniences to serious faults. Common problems include low boiler pressure, a lack of hot water, strange noises, and boilers switching off unexpectedly.
What should I do if I have low boiler pressure
Low boiler pressure is a common issue that can often be resolved by yourself. However, if you’re unsure, it’s always best to call a professional.
Quick tips: Looking after your boiler
While professional servicing is essential, there are a few simple things you can do to help keep your boiler in good condition between services. This includes checking your pressure, bleeding radiators, and ensuring your boiler is accessible. For more useful tips and tricks, visit our blog for quick boiler maintenance advice.
How often should I get my boiler serviced?
It is recommended to have your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer (or OFTEC for oil boilers) to ensure its safe and efficient operation and to maintain your warranty.
Do I need an annual service for my boiler warranty?
Yes, almost all boiler manufacturers stipulate that your boiler must be serviced annually by a qualified professional to keep its warranty valid. Failure to do so could void your warranty, leaving you responsible for any repair costs.
Who can carry out a boiler service?
Only a Gas Safe-registered engineer can carry out a service on a gas boiler. For oil boilers, an OFTEC-registered technician is required. Never attempt to service a boiler yourself or use an unregistered individual.
Is it illegal not to have your boiler serviced?
While it is not legally compulsory for homeowners to have their boiler serviced annually, it is highly recommended for safety, efficiency, and warranty purposes. However, landlords have a legal obligation to ensure gas appliances (including boilers) in their rented properties are safety-checked annually by a Gas Safe-registered engineer and to provide tenants with a copy of the gas safety certificate.
