Annual boiler servicing by Gas Safe registered engineers
Boiler Servicing
Boiler servicing is an annual safety and efficiency check of a gas boiler, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, which is also usually required to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid.

Definition
What boiler servicing involves
An annual service checks the boiler is operating safely and efficiently: checking for gas leaks and correct combustion, inspecting the flue, testing safety devices, and checking system pressure. Most boiler manufacturers require an annual service to keep the warranty valid, and it's also good practice for safety.

Why does my boiler need an annual service?
It's usually a condition of the manufacturer's warranty, and it checks the boiler is operating safely and efficiently — catching minor issues before they become costly failures or, in rare cases, safety risks.
