For most domestic boilers, an annual service is a sensible routine and is commonly required by manufacturers to maintain warranty conditions. Energy Saving Trust also recommends having boilers serviced every year so they continue operating properly and developing problems can be identified early.
A service is different from simply checking that the boiler turns on. The engineer should follow the appliance manufacturer's servicing procedure and carry out the relevant safety and operational checks. Any gas work must be completed by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Booking before the busiest cold-weather period can also reduce the chance of discovering a problem only when you urgently need the heating. Doherty provides boiler servicing in Glasgow alongside repairs and new installations.
