Boiler Servicing Telford

Why Should You Have Your Boiler Serviced?

Your boiler works for thousands of hours over its lifetime and contains components responsible for safely burning gas, transferring heat and removing combustion products from your home.

Regular servicing gives an engineer an opportunity to inspect the appliance, confirm that it is operating safely and spot deterioration that may otherwise go unnoticed until the boiler fails.

An annual service can also be important for maintaining the terms of a manufacturer’s warranty on newer boilers. The exact warranty requirements vary between manufacturers, so you should always check the conditions supplied with your appliance.

What Does a Boiler Service Include?

The checks required depend on the boiler, its condition and the manufacturer’s servicing instructions. A typical CombiCert boiler service may include:

• Visual inspection of the boiler and surrounding installation
• Checks for signs of leaks, corrosion or deterioration
• Inspection of the flue and terminal where accessible
• Checks of relevant safety devices and boiler operation
• Gas and combustion checks where required
• Inspection and cleaning of components where appropriate
• Checks of system pressure and general heating-system condition
• Inspection of the condensate arrangement where applicable
• Operational checks of the boiler and heating controls
• Identification of faults or components showing signs of deterioration

We service appliances in accordance with the requirements appropriate to the particular boiler rather than treating every make and model as though it were identical.

Is a Boiler Service the Same as a Gas Safety Check?

No. A boiler service and a landlord gas safety inspection are related but they are not the same thing.

A boiler service is focused on the condition, operation and maintenance requirements of the appliance. A landlord gas safety inspection is a statutory safety check of relevant gas appliances and installations within a rented property.

How Often Should a Boiler Be Serviced?

For most domestic gas boilers, an annual service is sensible and is commonly required by manufacturers where a boiler is covered by a warranty.

Servicing once a year also creates a regular opportunity to identify deterioration, leaks or combustion issues before they develop into a breakdown.

If your boiler has not been serviced for several years, that does not mean it needs replacing. It simply makes a proper inspection particularly worthwhile.

When Is the Best Time to Service Your Boiler?

You can have a boiler serviced at any time of year, although many homeowners choose the warmer months when the heating is being used less frequently.

Servicing before winter also gives you an opportunity to deal with any developing problems before the boiler is working hardest.

There is no need to wait until the boiler develops a fault. If it has already stopped working or is displaying an error code, you may need a repair rather than a routine service. See our boiler repair service in Telford.

What If We Find a Fault During the Service?

A boiler service is maintenance and inspection work. It does not automatically include the cost of replacement components or unrelated repairs.

If we identify a fault or component that requires attention, we will explain what we have found and what we recommend. Where additional work or parts are required, this will be discussed with you before proceeding.

Sometimes a service identifies a relatively minor issue before it becomes a boiler breakdown. In other cases, we may simply advise you to monitor something rather than replace a perfectly serviceable component unnecessarily.

Do You Service Older Boilers?

Yes. Age alone does not make a boiler unsuitable for servicing.

We work on both modern and older gas boilers, provided the appliance can be safely serviced and the necessary technical information or components remain available.

If an older boiler is showing signs of significant deterioration, repeated breakdowns or expensive component failure, we will tell you whether continuing to repair it still makes financial sense.

If replacement becomes the better option, you can see our new boiler installation service in Telford.

Boiler Servicing FAQs

How much does a boiler service cost in Telford?

The price can depend on the appliance and work required. Contact CombiCert with the make and model of your boiler and we will confirm the current servicing price before you book.

How long does a boiler service take?

The time required varies between boilers and depends on their condition and the servicing procedures required. We do not rush an appliance simply to meet an arbitrary time limit.

Do I need to service a new boiler every year?

Regular servicing is generally recommended and may be a condition of the manufacturer’s warranty. Check the warranty terms supplied with your particular boiler.

Can you service my boiler if another company installed it?

Yes. We regularly service boilers installed by other heating companies, provided the appliance can be safely worked on.

Will servicing stop my boiler breaking down?

No service can guarantee that a mechanical appliance will never fail. Regular maintenance can, however, identify some developing issues and gives an engineer an opportunity to assess the condition and safe operation of the appliance.

Does a boiler service include repairs?

Routine servicing does not automatically include replacement parts or unrelated repairs. If additional work is required, we will explain what has been found and discuss the cost before proceeding.

Can you service Worcester Bosch, Baxi and Vaillant boilers?

Yes. We service these and most other common domestic gas boiler manufacturers. Contact us if you are unsure about your particular make or model.

My boiler is already showing a fault code. Should I book a service?

If the boiler has already broken down, is repeatedly locking out or is showing a fault code, you may require fault diagnosis and repair rather than routine servicing. Visit our boiler repairs page or call us and describe the problem.
