If we can give one simple piece of advice it would be Preventative Maintenance is the key to a reliable, long lasting boiler.
Lack of Boiler Servicing in Liverpool?
It’s safe to say that once winter hits, the demand on your central heating boiler increases. We then start to see a sharp incline in the amount of people using our boiler repair Liverpool Service.
According to Uswitch, in 2016 alone, a whopping £787m was spent on unexpected boiler repair costs. One fifth (18%) of homes experienced at least one boiler breakdown, with an average repair bill of £270.
Our question to you would be, Would you be happy paying on average £270 for unexpected boiler repairs knowing that a Boiler Service Liverpool would cost as little as £60?
Resolve Energy Solutions champions boiler service in Liverpool because we see first hand the impact it has compared to boilers that do not get serviced. Its like chalk and cheese as they say.
Another worrying statistic is that new research carried out by the Gas Safe Register in July 2019 found that 27% of new homeowners believed re-decoration is more of a priority than the gas safety of an appliance or flue within the home (12%). A further 24% of us brits have admitted to never having our boiler serviced or have not had it serviced at regular intervals like the manufacturer recommends.
So what can be done?
Speak to any Heating Repair Engineer and they will generally tell you that most boiler boiler breakdowns could have been avoided if the appliance was serviced! Just like a car, a boiler requires servicing to keep it reliable, operating safely and energy efficient.
Important safety checks like measuring Carbon Monoxide levels or checking combustion seals condition are carried out during a service. However, other important procedures such as setting minimum burner pressures or recharging expansion vessels are carried out. It’s these latter procedures that really help maintain a boiler and keep it fault free.
Electronic faults such as Printed Circuit Board errors are not covered on an annual service. It is good practice however for Heating Engineers to electrically isolate an appliance and check over components on a circuit board such as relays.
