Rockwater are Norwich gas safe engineers for the servicing of gas boilers, gas fires and gas cookers.
A faulty boiler can be extremely dangerous, not least because of the increased risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s therefore best to get your boiler serviced every year to make sure it’s working properly.
Annual boiler service checklist
Try to arrange your service for the summer months, before the traditionally busy autumn season, when people start putting the heating on and there are more breakdowns.
The checklist below shows the key things you should expect to have done during a full boiler service.
Checklist
- A visual check to ensure your boiler still meets current standards
- Boiler fired to identify any working faults
- Boiler casing removed to check all main boiler components (burner, heat exchanger, main injector, spark/sensor probe).
- Checks to ensure flue terminals are unobstructed and internal flue components are sealed properly
- Gas valve adjusted to check that burner is combusting efficiently and properly (normally using a flue gas analyser).
- Inside casing surfaces cleaned
- Boiler parts cleaned if necessary
- Gas tightness test conducted to ensure no leaks
- Boiler casing put back on – check that properly sealed
- You will receive a service report that shows everything the our engineer has done to maintain your boiler
Not all boilers are the same
Though the above checklist should stand you in good stead for most boilers, bear in mind that not all boilers are the same.
