Please keep in mind that most boiler warranties are only valid if the boiler is serviced once a year, so make sure you have this done for your peace of mind. Contact Owen Gibb & Sons today at 0131 441 7999 to schedule your annual boiler service.

What does a boiler service involve? 

Owen Gibb & Sons conducts thorough boiler servicing following strict manufacturer specifications. Our Gas Safe registered engineers perform a comprehensive service process that ensures your heating system's safety and efficiency.

 Initial Assessment

Our service begins with a complete visual inspection of your boiler and surrounding area. Engineers carefully examine the unit for any signs of corrosion or leakage, while also inspecting all external controls and pipework. Proper ventilation around the unit is verified to ensure safe operation.

 Safety Checks

Safety is our primary concern. We thoroughly test the flue integrity and emissions, while verifying all safety device operations. Our engineers check gas pressure and flow rates, ensuring they meet manufacturer specifications. All boiler controls and thermostats undergo rigorous testing, and we carefully monitor carbon monoxide levels to ensure your family's safety.

 Internal Component Inspection

Moving to the internal components, we examine the heat exchanger's condition and check burner performance, cleaning it when necessary. All seals and gaskets are inspected for wear, while pump operation and circulation are tested to ensure optimal performance. Filters receive thorough attention, with cleaning or replacement as needed.

 Performance Testing

The service continues with a comprehensive performance assessment. We fire up the boiler to check its operation, carefully monitoring heating performance and pressure levels. Our engineers observe the flame pattern and colour, ensuring proper combustion. We also verify that the condensate drainage system functions correctly.

 Documentation

Finally, we provide detailed documentation of our service. Each engineer completes a comprehensive service report recording all measurements and findings. We note any recommendations for future maintenance, provide a gas safety certificate when required, and document any parts that were replaced or cleaned during the service.

Every service concludes with our engineer explaining the completed work and offering practical recommendations to maintain your boiler's efficiency throughout the year.

Benefits of Servicing Your Boiler

Boiler maintenance is critical to the smooth operation and longevity of your heating system. Regular boiler servicing is widely advised in the United Kingdom, where boilers are a prevalent heating solution. 

Efficiency

Boilers can accumulate dirt, debris, and scale over time, resulting in decreased efficiency. When your boiler is inefficient, it uses more energy to create the same quantity of heat, which results in higher energy costs. Regular boiler servicing ensures that your system performs at peak efficiency, ultimately saving you money on energy expenditures.

Increases Lifespan

Boilers, like any mechanical device, require routine maintenance to keep them working properly and extend their lives. The engineer will examine and lubricate parts during a boiler service, making any required changes to prevent wear and strain. You can avoid costly repairs or premature boiler replacement by detecting and addressing small faults early on.

Warranty Compliance

Many boiler manufacturers need annual maintenance to keep the warranty valid. Regular boiler servicing may void your warranty, making you liable for any repair or replacement costs. Following the manufacturer's servicing guidelines protects your guarantee and gives you with peace of mind.

Early Problem Detection

A competent engineer can discover possible problems during a boiler service before they become catastrophic breakdowns. Early detection of problems allows you to solve them quickly, avoiding uncomfortable and costly breakdowns that could leave you without heating or hot water during cold weather.

Legal Obligations

Landlords are required by law to guarantee that gas equipment, including boilers, is safe and properly maintained. Regular boiler servicing assists landlords in meeting their legal obligations while also ensuring the safety and well-being of tenants.

Boiler maintenance is critical for safety, efficiency, and longevity. It assists in identifying potential safety issues, improving energy efficiency, extending the lifespan of your boiler, maintaining warranty compliance, detecting problems early on, and meeting legal duties. 

Regular boiler servicing allows you to enjoy a dependable and efficient heating system while reducing the danger of unexpected malfunctions and protecting the safety of your household.
