Why Is Gas Boiler Service Important? <script type

SPECIAL OFFER

Your gas boiler works hard behind the scenes to keep your home warm and your water hot. But just like a car, it needs regular servicing to run efficiently and safely. Skipping your annual boiler service may seem like a way to save money, but it can lead to costly repairs, higher energy bills, and even dangerous breakdowns.

At Gas Tech Plumbers, we provide Gas Safe registered boiler servicing across Burnley, Blackburn, Darwen, Accrington, Clitheroe, Nelson, Colne, Skipton and surrounding areas. Here’s why keeping up with your boiler service is so important.

1. Safety First

Gas boilers burn fuel to create heat. If a fault goes undetected, it could lead to gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning — a silent, deadly threat. A professional boiler service includes checks for leaks, ventilation, and emissions, giving you peace of mind that your home is safe.

2. Improved Efficiency

Over time, dust, sludge, and wear can reduce your boiler’s performance. A serviced boiler runs more efficiently, which:

• Lowers your gas bills

• Reduces energy waste

• Helps your system heat your home faster

3. Prevents Breakdowns

Many boiler breakdowns happen because of small issues that went unnoticed. During a service, an engineer can spot early signs of wear or damage and fix them before they turn into expensive emergencies.

4. Extends Boiler Lifespan

Your boiler is a big investment. Regular servicing helps prevent unnecessary strain on its components, allowing it to last longer and reducing the need for premature replacement.

5. Keeps Your Warranty Valid

Most manufacturers require annual servicing to keep your warranty valid. Skipping a service could mean you lose cover for parts and repairs — leaving you with a big bill if something goes wrong.

6. Legal Requirement for Landlords

If you’re a landlord, you’re legally required to have all gas appliances (including boilers) checked and certified annually. This protects your tenants and ensures compliance with safety regulations.

How Often Should You Service Your Boiler?

• Homeowners: Once every 12 months

• Landlords: Every 12 months (with a Gas Safety Certificate issued)
