BOILER SERVICING

Annual boiler servicing is a wise precaution, as we can ensure that your current system is operating to peak performance, ensure against Carbon Monoxide leaks and prolong its lifespan. Regular maintenance can also help prevent a system breakdown which can be expensive and unwelcome.

7 and 12 Year + Boiler 'Strip-down' Service

Due to natural wear and heat erosion of the internal spark electrode/ flame sensing devices within high efficiency boilers, approximately every 7 years a different level of boiler servicing called a 'strip-down' service will be required to replace the spark electrodes/ flame sensing devices/heat exchanger seals within these boilers.

On boilers that are over 7 years + old the additional cost to carry out a 'strip-down' boiler service and to replace the spark electrode/flame sensing device and heat exchanger seals is detailed below:
