Benefits of Regular Boiler Servicing
Tenant Safety
Regular servicing ensures your boiler is operating safely, preventing potentially hazardous issues like carbon monoxide leaks and protecting your tenants.
Legal Compliance
Annual servicing helps you meet legal gas safety requirements for rental properties, documented through a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12).
Reduced Energy Bills
A well-maintained boiler operates more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills for your tenants.
Extended Lifespan
Regular servicing can extend your boiler's operational life by several years, delaying the need for costly replacement.
Fewer Emergency Callouts
Preventative maintenance helps identify potential issues before they become major problems, reducing emergency repair situations.
Warranty Protection
Most manufacturer warranties require annual servicing to remain valid. Regular maintenance ensures your warranty protection remains intact.
Our Boiler Service Process
Visual Inspection
Our Gas Safe registered engineer will examine the boiler's exterior condition, location, and ventilation to ensure it meets current regulations and standards.
Component Testing
We'll remove the boiler casing to inspect internal components, checking for wear and tear on key parts like the heat exchanger, burner, main injector, and spark probe.
Flue Analysis
Using specialized equipment, we'll check the flue and measure gas emissions to ensure the boiler is operating efficiently and safely with no dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.
Pressure & Controls Check
We'll verify the system pressure is correct and test all safety controls to ensure they're functioning properly. We'll also check the operation of the thermostat and timer.
Documentation & Advice
After servicing, we'll provide a detailed service report and, if combined with a gas safety check, your CP12 certificate. We'll also offer advice on optimizing boiler efficiency and recommend any necessary repairs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a boiler be serviced?
We recommend annual servicing for all boilers in rental properties. This is not only a legal requirement under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, but also ensures optimal performance and safety. Ideally, schedule the service before the winter months to ensure the system is ready for the heating season.
Does a boiler service include a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?
A standard boiler service doesn't automatically include a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12). However, we can combine both services in a single visit for efficiency. The Gas Safety check covers all gas appliances in the property, while a boiler service is a more in-depth maintenance of just the boiler. We offer package deals when booking both together.
How much does a boiler service cost?
Our standard boiler service starts from £85. If combined with a Gas Safety Certificate, we offer a package from £120. For repairs, costs vary depending on the issue and parts required. We always provide a detailed quote before proceeding with any repair work.
How quickly can you respond to emergency boiler breakdowns?
For emergency boiler breakdowns, we prioritize rapid response, especially during colder months when heating is essential. We typically aim to attend within 24 hours for serious issues affecting heating or hot water. Our emergency service is available 7 days a week across all Edinburgh districts.
