Boiler Service » About Service
An annual service of a heating system consists of a whole series of steps designed to determine whether the system is efficient and therefore safe. Cleaning of heat exchange elements, which is carried out at a service, has a major impact on the energy efficiency of the system and thus the consumption of gas. Additionally, the cleaning of corrosion sensitive components significantly extends the lifespan of any heating system.
Most manufacturers recommend a full service once every year for all heating systems. An important point here is the fact that many boiler manufacturers require this review within a specified period in order to extend the guarantee period, Without planned systematic maintenance of such equipment, the customer is usually not aware of the fact that to save money, they are risking:
- Significantly higher maintenance costs in the future for equipment.
- In most cases, increased gas consumption of the heating system.
- Unexpected failure of equipment at a critical time such as during severe weather.
- The safety of the customer and his family. In a typical service, operation of boiler safety devices, correct functioning of controls and tightness of gas connections, etc. are examined.
A well maintained appliance will certainly repay with interest by giving many years of trouble-free and economical service.
It is important that everyone understands how to be gas safe at home.
