Five reasons why summer is the perfect time to service your boiler

Who needs to worry about household heating when the mercury is pushing 30℃, right? Wrong!

While your thoughts have turned to holiday plans and digging the lilos out of the loft, summertime is actually the best time to give your boiler and wider heating system the once over.

So, while your boiler may have been put out to pasture for the summer months, take a moment to ponder why booking your boiler service today is the best decision you’ll make this summer.

1.  A  healthy boiler means a healthy home

You wouldn’t drive your car around without an MOT or a service. The same goes for a boiler. You maintain your car to protect those inside and outside the vehicle, while annually servicing your boiler and heating system protects your home.

Faulty boilers can be fatal – releasing deadly carbon monoxide gas into your home. During winter months, when we spend more time indoors and with windows and doors shut, you’ll want peace of mind that your home and family are safe and secure. Our Gas Safe-registered engineers can help you to ensure your home is prepared for the winter months ahead.

2.  An efficient boiler reduces your carbon footprint

We are all spending more time focussed on our individual impact on the environment. Thanks to Sir David, we’ve come to realise that even small changes to our lifestyle can materially affect life on earth.

An annual boiler service ensures that your boiler is running at optimum efficiency, meaning less fuel and heat wastage and therefore less energy use so reducing your carbon footprint. Additionally, regular boiler care means your appliance is likely to last longer, creating less commercial waste. Win-win, right?

3. A summer boiler service saves you a headache

While boiler servicing feels like a winter task, it shouldn’t be. Like other appliances, including cars, boilers are more likely to break down over the winter months – right when you need them most.

By booking your annual boiler service in the summer, you avoid the cold showers and damp bedding of a boiler breakdown in December, not to mention an unexpected bill around Christmas.

4. Fully functioning boilers save you cash

New boilers are pretty costly, so maintaining your existing one just makes sense.

It goes without saying that efficient and functioning boilers also save energy. And let’s face it, we’ve all taken a hit to the pocket recently on energy prices, so keeping the costs down in that area can only be a good thing!

5. Summertime means we can work around you

Our Gas Safe-registered engineers are pretty darn busy during the winter months – rushing around rescuing all the people who weren’t as on-the-ball as you are.

Attending full boiler breakdowns and emergency situations means we’re so booked-up in winter, you might be waiting a while for your annual boiler service. Booking a service during the summer months means we can work around a date and time that suits you. And one last thing – please remember….

Anyone undertaking gas work in your home should be Gas Safe-registered. This is the law. Our friendly and fully-trained engineers will always give you honest, reliable information about your boiler and wider heating system. Get in touch for a no pressure chat today.
