A well-running oil boiler is indispensable in the winter, which is why autumn is the perfect time to get it serviced. Making sure it’s running well will help you avoid breakdowns, which means peace of mind.
Humphrey & Crockett offers oil boiler servicing in Hampshire and Andover. So you can enjoy your cosy home this winter with a reliable boiler.
Why Oil Boiler Servicing Matters
Save on bills.
If your oil boiler is running efficiently, it will help you save on heating bills. A faulty boiler, on the other hand, can cause your boiler to work harder, resulting in higher bills during the winter.
Increase reliability.
A properly serviced boiler can reduce the chance of a breakdown in the middle of winter. No one wants to live in a freezing home for days on end. Having your boiler serviced can be affordable than last-minute call-outs, major repairs, or a complete replacement. It extends the lifespan, making it more reliable in the long run.
Improve safety.
Safety should always be a priority. Oil boiler servicing prevents leaks and the risk of carbon monoxide, as well as other hazards. The experts will be able to detect any hazards immediately, giving you and your family peace of mind.
What Happens During an Oil Boiler Service?
Here’s a run-down of what to expect during your oil boiler service:
- An expert will visually inspect the boiler and flue. They’ll know about any signs to look out for.
- The components, such as the filters and burner, will be cleaned.
- The fuel supply line will be checked for leaks or hazards.
- The safety controls and thermostat will be tested.
- General efficiency checks and the combustion will be checked.
When Should You Book an Oil Boiler Service?
Autumn is a great time to get your oil boiler serviced. It’s before the coldest months set in, when you’ll be using your boiler the most. There may also be an increase in demand for servicing and call-outs in the winter, so it’s best to book in early and avoid long waits.
It’s recommended to have your boiler serviced once a year. It’s a good preventative measure that will keep your boiler running smoothly.
The Benefits of Oil Boiler Servicing
The benefits of having your boiler serviced outweigh the cost. By ensuring your oil boiler is in good condition, you can help keep your energy costs low. Additionally, you’ll avoid last-minute emergencies that may result in long wait times.
