A boiler service is more than a routine check. It is a vital part of keeping your home safe, warm and energy efficient. At Mayne Gas Heating Ltd, we recommend having your boiler serviced once a year by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.

This simple step can extend the life of your boiler, reduce your energy bills and prevent costly breakdowns.

What Happens During a Boiler Service?

When you book a boiler service with us, a qualified engineer will carry out a full inspection and tune-up. This includes:

Checking the outer casing for damage or corrosion
Inspecting the flue for blockages or leaks
Testing all controls and safety devices
Examining the burner and heat exchanger
Checking the boiler’s pressure and water levels
Verifying the flue terminal is clear and secure
Cleaning components if needed
Advising you on safe and efficient operation

After the inspection, you will receive a 12-month service certificate.

Why Is Boiler Servicing Important?

While not a legal requirement for homeowners, annual servicing is highly recommended. Reasons include:

Efficiency: A well-maintained boiler uses less gas
Safety: Reduces risk of gas leaks and carbon monoxide
Warranty: Most manufacturer warranties require annual servicing
Reliability: Avoids winter breakdowns when heating is most needed
Cost savings: Identifies small issues before they become major repairs

How Often Should You Service Your Boiler?

Every boiler should be serviced once per year. If you miss a service, your system could become less efficient and more prone to faults. You also risk voiding the warranty if your boiler is under guarantee.
