Boiler Servicing

What does a boiler service entail?

At My Central Heating, all our engineers are Gas Safe registered and carry out hundreds of boiler services each year. Our engineers will start by testing your boilers settings to make sure everything is working correctly before comprehensively surveying for leaks and corrosion to the unit.

One we’ve surveyed your boiler, we will take off the case to inspect all the main components. At this stage, our engineers will check the pressure of boiler and test that dangerous fumes are not being produced.

At the final stage of our boiler service, our engineer will clean any parts that require it, before fitting the case back over your boiler. Once completed, you’ll receive a report on the work carried out and information about the safety of your boiler. If you have any questions our engineers will provide you with the necessary information and advice.

When will my boiler be serviced?

Your annual boiler service is carried out each year. If the agreement started on the 01st March 2024, the boiler service will be carried out around the 01st March 2025. We will notify you in advance to remind you when it’s due.

Is the annual boiler service included and carried out every year?
