What is the difference between a boiler service and a gas safety inspection?
A gas safety inspection can be likened to a car having an MOT. All gas appliances within a property are inspected by our fully qualified gas engineer to ensure they are in safe working condition. Gas safety inspections are an annual legal requirement for landlords in the UK. Please see the Gas Inspections page of our website for more details on these.
A boiler service can be likened to a car being serviced. While not a legal requirement, regular boiler servicing is vital to ensure that your boiler is running efficiently and safely. Manufacturers recommend annual servicing to prolong the life of the appliance. Poorly maintained or faulty boilers can be a serious health risk to you and your family, because they can cause fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.
How Long Does it Take?
A boiler service generally takes anything between 20-40 minutes. However it may be wise to allow 60 minutes in your schedule.
