Gas Boiler Service – Gas Combi & Regular Boilers Boiler Servicing

It is cheaper to repair a boiler or get a new one ? Well with today's throw-away culture - some things are cheaper to replace than repair. However - it's cheaper to get your boiler repaired !

Boiler Service


As a gas boiler is often run every day in the home, and can wear faster than other appliances, but simple faults in a gas boiler are easy to fix! But what happens if faults are ignored and the problems increase ? It may result in replacing the whole gas boiler at a large expense, most importantly, an under-maintained gas boiler could prove dangerous to you and your family.



When do I service my boiler ?

Well, boiler use tends to increase after the summer when people turn on their gas boilers after months of inactivity. In these months, it is not uncommon for a gas boiler to develop issues with clogged or seized parts due to lack of use.
Due to this, it's recommended that you pen in a gas boiler service before the end of summer – as the months of February and October are the most quiet for boiler engineers. Not only are you more likely to get a better service and from an engineer at a time that suits you more this way, it is possible that you may also receive a discounted rate out of the peak months.



How much will it cost ?

A full service of your boiler can cost as much as £160 and will also vary depending on your location. Often Gas Safe Registered firms like STL Heating and Energy will offer competitive gas boiler quotes that are less than £160. Be sure to ring with the make and model of your boiler – as well as its age and location, to ensure you get the best deal possible.
