Why Do Gas Appliances Need Servicing?
Once you have a central gas heating system installed, it’s very easy to settle into the comfort it provides. However, it does require a small amount of effort to maintain. For you, all that means is making sure you book a gas servicing on a regular basis! We take over from there.
How Often Should Gas Appliances be Serviced?
We recommend servicing gas appliances every two years.
This includes hot water, heating or cooking appliances. We suggest that your heating system is serviced yearly if your house has new carpet or pets with fur. It’s something that you can schedule in the off-season so that you know your heating is all ready for the autumn or winter season.
Why is Servicing Required?
Your gas appliances need servicing for a few reasons, but ultimately it’s part of regular household maintenance.
Prevent Issues
A trained gasfitter will be able to recognise if an appliance is reaching the end of its life and can give you advice on replacement. If there is something malfunctioning, you can address the issue before it becomes a more complicated problem.
Safety
Gas appliances do have potential safety issues if they are not functioning properly. It’s not just a matter of being without the appliance if it is broken, but the potential for gas leaks or carbon monoxide to build up is a bigger risk. For peace of mind and the safety of your family, you need to know your appliances are all working well.
Efficiency
Servicing ensures that you keep your gas appliances running at their best, which means maintaining efficiency. This means you’ll see the best value on your monthly gas bill.
Book a Service
Make sure that your servicing is done by a Certifying Gasfitter so that you don’t risk the validity of your insurance.
