With autumn well underway, it won’t be long before the cold weather is upon us and it’s time to turn the central heating on again. But when the time comes, can you guarantee that your boiler will be up to the test?
With pieces of complex equipment like a boiler haven’t been used for some time, especially ones that are a few years old, there’s a good possibility that they’ll struggle to perform at their best. For this reason, it’s good to get in the habit of getting your boiler serviced before the onslaught of winter. After all, you don’t want to be left shivering if you get stuck with a faulty boiler!
Is a Boiler Service Worth It?
Having your boiler serviced may just seem like an added expense on top of your standard utility costs, but the reality is that doing so can save you a lot of money in the long run. A boiler service will identify any issues that could lead to it breaking down and requiring more costly repairs in the future.
Having the boiler parts checked will mean that they’re kept in good shape, and if you have this done consistently every year, there’s more chance of your boiler lasting longer before it needs to be replaced.
Plus, while we’re all feeling the impact of rising energy prices this year, having your boiler serviced means it’ll be as energy efficient as possible - again saving you money on your bills.
Does My Boiler Need Replacing?
The average lifespan of a boiler is 15 years, but if your boiler isn’t serviced regularly, this could be a lot shorter. You’ll be able to tell if your boiler needs urgent repairs or replacing altogether if:
● Your heating bills are increasing
● You notice rust, burn stains or a leak
● There’s a bad smell coming from your boiler
● Your radiators take longer to heat up
● There are strange noises coming from your heating system
