In the United Kingdom, the frequent cold and wet weather that we experience here means that we have to make additional provisions for the heating of our homes. Thankfully, in this day and age, we have a wide number of fuels to choose from and many boilers as well. We have the option of gas, LPG, electric and oil boilers and each of them provide the heat and the hot water that we need to live a comfortable life. Our families wake up in the morning to a house that is already warm because we set the timer to turn on the boiler.
Our boilers are very reliable, but after a time, they start to play up a little and generally, that happens because you haven’t been scheduling a regular boiler service. Getting your boiler serviced regularly provides many benefits to the typical UK household.
- Regular servicing of your boiler means that your boiler runs better. If it’s running better and is at the top of its game, then it will burn less fuel and that saves you money over the long term.
- Getting the flue and the burner cleaned regularly means that there is little chance of build-up of soot and other harmful chemicals. Boilers that haven’t been cleaned in this way have caused deaths and injuries.
- If it’s getting serviced once or twice a year, then your plumber is more likely to notice smaller issues before they become big problems and end up costing you more to fix.
Be sure to have your boiler cleaned at least once a year to guarantee that it will still be running 15 years from now.
