GAS BOILER SERVICING

At Fired Up Heating Services, we have been offering annual gas boiler servicing in Matlock, Darley Dale, Bakewell and Darley Dale for over 10 years.

Regular boiler servicing is crucial for maintaining the efficiency, safety, and longevity of your heating system. Boilers play a central role in providing warmth and hot water in homes and businesses, making their proper functioning essential for comfort and convenience.

Efficiency

Over time, boilers can accumulate dirt, debris, and scale, leading to reduced efficiency. Regular servicing involves cleaning and inspecting various components, ensuring that the boiler operates at its optimal efficiency. This not only improves performance but also helps in saving energy and reducing utility bills.

Safety

Boilers that are not properly maintained can develop faults or leaks, potentially releasing harmful gases like carbon monoxide. Servicing involves checking for any gas or water leaks, ensuring that safety devices are functional, and identifying potential hazards. This helps prevent accidents and protects occupants from health risks.

Reliability

Regular servicing helps identify and address minor issues before they escalate into major problems. By replacing worn-out parts and tightening loose connections, boiler servicing contributes to the overall reliability of the system. This reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns, especially during cold winter months.

Prolonged Lifespan

Just like any mechanical system, boilers have a finite lifespan. Regular servicing, however, can significantly extend this lifespan by addressing wear and tear, preventing corrosion, and maintaining the overall health of the system. This can save homeowners from the considerable expense of premature boiler replacement.

Compliance with Regulations

Getting an annuual Gas Safety or Lardlord Certificate completed by a Gas Safe Registered engineer is a legal requirement of all lardlords in the UK. Adhering to these regulations not only ensures the well-being of occupants but also avoids potential legal consequences and penalties.

Things we're often asked about

Here are the answers to a few of the questions we get asked about by customers.

What does a boiler service involve?

During a boiler service a gas engineer will perform a comprehensive inspection of the boiler as well as conduct a number of tests. The service will include checking:

gas and pressure flow
condition of the internal components
flue and combustion releases
safety devices
water and gas pipework
electrical connections
seals – to ensure that they are intact.

If any issues with the boiler are found we will discuss with you the remedial actions required and any materials that may be required.

Who can do a boiler service?

Only a heating engineer that is Gas Safe Registered can work on gas boilers and that includes installing, servicing and repairing them.

Before allowing a heating engineer to work on your boiler you should always check that they are registered. See below for more about how you can do this.

When is the best time to get my boiler serviced?

Getting your boiler serviced ahead of the winter is an ideal time as it gets it ready for all the hard work it’s going to do keeping your home warm through the cold winter months. But don’t worry if you forget to get it done in the summer, you can have it serviced anytime.

What if there is something wrong with my boiler?

Sometimes having your boiler serviced will help solve issues you are having, particularly if it has been a while since the last service. This is because over time, harmful debris can build up in the system and by having it cleaned, the boiler can work properly again.

If the service cannot resolve the problems you are having then further diagnostics tests and investigation can be conducted to help determine the problem and what actions are needed to repair it.

How much does a boiler service cost?

We charge a set price of £62.50 for boiler services. However if your boiler requires any remedial works of materials, for instance a new seal, then this will be chargeable.
