πŸ”₯ Boiler servicing and why is it a good idea…?

❓This is a common question gas engineers are asked by customers. This week one of my customers contacted me about their boiler as it was not working. This is a fairly new boiler (4 years old) and it was a top of the range boiler, one which comes with a 10 year guarantee*

I ran a few checks on the boiler to establish what I believed to be the issue and then contacted the manufacturer to ask if they were covered under the guarantee and fortunately they were. Almost every manufacturer will ask if the customer has the boiler serviced annually, which in this case they had so the manufacturer sent out an engineer the next day and got a number of the parts replaced and most importantly got the boiler back on and working. This meant the customer didn't need to pay out for any of this!

Other reason why you should get your boiler serviced annually:

βœ… Adjustments can be made to ensure it's working correctly and efficiently
βœ… Visual inspection of the internal components can be checked and replaced if damaged or showing signs of wear and tear
βœ… Ensuring the boiler is not producing high levels of carbon monoxide
βœ… Checking they the safety devices are working correctly
βœ… Checking the water quality of the central heating water and adding chemicals if needed to help control rusting
βœ… *Ensuring you maintain a valid warranty / guarantee with the manufacturer

πŸ’§ Fixing an emergency stop tap

⚠️ This week Protea Plumbing came to the rescue for this commercial company and replaced their leaking stop tap.

One of my customers was having endless issues with their boiler shutting down & locking out. This was because it needed a good strip down, clean and some new electrodes. After doing all this the boiler was up and running again, with no further issues βœ…

Did you know that getting your boiler serviced can save you money? πŸ€”

Prevention is better than cure!

πŸ”§ Last week a new customer got in touch with me regarding a boiler issue.

Their boiler was 4 years old and when installed came with a 10 year manufacturer warranty.

⚠️ Unfortunately, the boiler had not been serviced each year, meaning the warranty was invalidated.

πŸ’· The repair ended up costing the customer Β£200, this would have been covered by manufacturer warranty if they had kept the boiler serviced each year.

πŸ“… I always recommend customers have their boilers serviced each year, this ensures they are maintaining their warranty and helps ensure the boiler is running smoothly and efficiently.

Often boilers need to be cleaned and adjusted to ensure they run as smoothly as possible. Early intervention can avoid your boiler breaking down when you need it most.

πŸ₯Ά Why not book your boiler service before the cold season is upon us and have peace of mind your boiler is going to keep you warm this winter!

πŸ”₯ Boiler Service πŸ”₯

During this Intergas boiler service, the boiler was stripped down, cleaned and a new set of seals were replaced. The gas valve was adjusted to ensure the combustion performance was correct. All this results in more efficiency and the boiler running optimally πŸ‘Œ

πŸ₯Ά Getting your boiler serviced before winter is a really good idea, rather than it breaking down in the middle of winter. During servicing issues with your boiler can be identified and rectified, ensuring you are warm during the cold months.

πŸ“ž Please get in touch if you'd like your boiler serviced 07908257066.

πŸ“ˆ Levelling up...

Last week I attended the Worcester Bosch technical academy to acquire my qualification in water systems (G3). This qualification allows me to install and maintain / service unvented hot water cylinders.

The course was really interesting and I got to meet some plumbing and heating engineers from different parts of the country.

Couldn't miss out on the photo opportunity (in the rain) either 😬

βœ… Putting things right!

Recently I was asked to help a new customer who's had some bad plumbing work carried out at their house.

The photo on the left shows the pipework leading into the radiator valves, as you can see it's coming up at a strange angle.

I disconnected it, had the floor up to make sure all the copper pipework lines up nice and straight (plumb).

The end result - traditional cast iron radiators look really good, as the customer wanted in the first place 😍

😞 Do you have any bad plumbing in your house...? All my work is completed to the highest standards πŸ‘Œ
