There are many reasons your boiler should be checked. I’ll list a few below but in all honesty, if I could give you just one, it would be safety.
How do you know what’s going on behind that case on your boiler? The truth is you don’t, and so many people choose to ignore it as long as they are getting hot water/heating until it’s too late. I don’t want that for you and your family, but it’s the truth.
Carbon monoxide
The silent killer has no smell or taste, and you can’t hear it. It just creeps in and can cause headaches, nausea and low energy. If undetected a poorly maintained boiler can literally kill. I know that sounds really harsh, and I for one as a family man would always suggest a boiler service to rule anything dangerous out.
Increased Energy Bills
Let’s face it who needs extra cost right now?
I, for one, am the dad that’s turning everything off to save our hard-earned money😂 but what if your boiler is literally throwing energy out of the flue and warming the street instead of your home? Or worse, just paying to throw unused gas out of your flue if you haven’t had a gas safety inspection or a boiler service. How do you know?
Boiler breakdown
It always happens. I see this daily; it’s my job, after all, and what happens is a component within that boiler goes. It costs to replace the part and for the labour, but then maybe weeks, maybe months other things start to go wrong once the boiler is of a certain age. This can course unnecessary stress and discomfort for you and your families (we all get a bit rusty with age🤣).
Why not prevent further costs by installing a new Combi boiler with a ten or 12-year warranty? Save a fortune on monthly bills and have peace of mind your boilers covered.
Property damage
When you last had a leak in your property, did you know it was coming?
The truth is we never know when these things will happen. Still, you imagine your boiler has been leaking for some time, not only needing to get the boiler repaired or replaced but causing unnecessary damage creating unexpected costs and stress.
If caught early enough, an easy way to check everything is doing what it should is by booking a local heating engineer to check over your boiler. If you are looking for a local heating engineer in york, get in touch, and I’d be more than happy to check over your boiler installation.
