An annual service is the cheapest thing you can do to keep a boiler running safely and to keep its warranty valid.
The short answer
Every 12 months, by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Nearly every manufacturer makes an annual service a condition of the warranty, and gaps in the service history can invalidate a claim years later.
What a proper service includes
A thorough service covers:
- Visual inspection of the appliance, flue and ventilation.
- Flue gas analysis and combustion check.
- Gas pressure and flow rate check.
- Cleaning of key components and the condensate trap.
- Testing safety devices and controls.
- A written record of readings and any advisory items.
Landlords
If you let a property, an annual Gas Safety Record (CP12) is a legal requirement covering every gas appliance, and a copy must be given to the tenant. We carry these out across Birmingham and can put you on an annual reminder.
