Understanding Boiler Servicing & Boiler Repairs
Recognising when you require a boiler service versus a heating repair is vital. Boiler servicing, akin to a car’s MOT, is an annual check-up for safety, efficiency, and performance, including replacing specified parts as instructed by the manufacturer. Mainly, a boiler service is preventive, catching issues before they happen!
Boiler repairs, however, are required when a breakdown occurs and your boiler stops producing heating or hot water. Our standard boiler servicing and “Cosy Plan” service plan does not cover repairs or faulty boilers, focusing instead on preventive maintenance.
Sometime's its simple, but sometimes you need a professional
Boiler repair check list
Boiler repair - first check list
Not sure if you need a boiler repair? Before calling us out, take a look at our simple first checklist. A few quick checks might help you spot the issue or at least give you a better idea of what’s going on. And if you’re still unsure, we’re always here to help.
Make sure your boiler has power and the fuse hasn’t tripped, it’s a simple check that can often save a callout.
Check that your boiler’s water pressure is at the correct level, low pressure can stop your heating from working properly.
Check if you’re getting hot water from your taps. If not, it could help pinpoint where the problem is.
Check that your thermostat is set correctly and calling for heat, sometimes it’s an easy fix!
Check if other gas appliances, like your hob, are working. This helps confirm if there’s a gas supply issue.
