How often should you service your boiler? Everything you need to know
Whether you're a new property owner or have had a recent replacement or upgrade, knowing how to care for the internal elements of your home isn't always clear.
We’ve put together a boiler service checklist to help you to understand how often you should service your boiler, and what’s involved in the service we provide at Swale Heating.
How often should you service your boiler?
In short, just like a car’s yearly MOT, your boiler should be serviced every 12 months to ensure it's in a safe working condition.
If you’ve missed your annual boiler service, or are unsure of when the last one was carried out, you can find this information out from your manufacturer who should be able to guide you on what to do next.
You can also book in a boiler service with Swale Heating, and we will send out one of our Gas Safe registered engineers to fully service your boiler. Click here to contact us.
