Why Service Your Boiler

Why Service Your Boiler?

Because regular servicing helps keep your boiler running more efficiently, which in turn means that you use less fuel which saves you money. With most boiler manufacturers recommending that a service is carried out once a year, this also assists in preventing potential breakdowns which may leave you without heating.  

As a registered business, with heating engineers based in Belfast and holding over £2,000 worth of spares in our fully stocked vehicles, we can ensure that most problems will be solved on site. Helping to prevent the need for any recall visits which can be expensive and inconvenient to our customers.

So what should I expect during a routine service?

Our servicing consists of a full service to the burner , boiler and oil tank.
  We clean the combustion chamber and check all seals and gaskets.
