Keeping Your Home Warm and Safe: The Value of Using a Professional Boiler Service

When functioning properly, your boiler is essential to the operation of your home or commercial property, heating and providing hot water, 365 days a year. At Boiler Gas Tech Ltd, we know that having a boiler you can depend on is not merely an asset; it is a necessity for comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. We are based in West London and Surrey, and our Gas Safe-registered engineers are experts in boiler installation and repair, and carry out boiler maintenance and servicing, so every property we work in has the best possible service and performance. 

What You Need To Know About Your Boiler

The work of the boiler in your home is vital in heating your living space and providing hot water. Today’s boilers are designed to work very efficiently, but performance levels can deteriorate if the system is not cared for correctly. You may start to notice performance issues if the boiler shows any of the following signs: 

Heating that is Too Cold (or Too Hot): The radiators are not heating evenly, and some rooms are too cold. 

  • Unusual Sounds: You hear banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds.
  • Water Leaks: There are leaks, or the water pressure may be low.
  • Heating Controls: Your heating controls have stopped responding or are malfunctioning.

Not paying attention to the factors that naturally occur as your boiler ages could result in permanent and even more costly issues and safety concerns. The proactive approach to dealing with these issues is a boiler service or repair by a registered Gas Safe engineer.

Regular Boiler Maintenance: Why It's Important?

It’s really important to make sure that you have your boiler serviced regularly so that it works safely and properly. At Boiler Gas Tech Ltd, we carry out a thorough annual inspection to check that everything is working as it should.

Benefits of Boiler Servicing

  • Safer: Regular servicing allows you to reduce the chances of carbon monoxide escaping and reduces the chances of a gas-related accident.
  • More Efficient: A well-maintained boiler uses less energy, resulting in reduced bills.     
  • Longer Life Span: Regular preventative maintenance can protect important parts of your boiler to make it last longer.
  • Fewer Breakdowns: If you detect faults early, you reduce the chance of having to pay for an emergency breakdown, as a fault will have been diagnosed earlier on.
  • Reduced Breakdown: By maintaining regular service checks, you can be reassured that you are able to keep your home or commercial property heated and enjoy a safer service throughout the year.   

Common Boiler Issues and How Professionals Can Resolve Them 

As a boiler receives regular servicing from an appropriately qualified engineer, the chances of boiler issues reduce, but new faults can still appear over time. Understanding these faults can be useful in determining the right time to contact an engineer to assist you.

Low Boiler Pressure

Low pressure is a common reason why your heating may be less effective. This could be due to leaks or the release of pressure by bleeding radiators. A professional engineer can add boiler pressure back in safely as well as troubleshoot low-pressure issues to highlight any underlying issues that require attention to stop them from recurring.

Unusual Sounds

Banging, gurgling, and similar noises coming from your boiler usually suggest trapped air in the system, anywhere from the boiler to the radiator or even some limescale build-up. Our engineers will carry out the checks necessary to identify the cause of the noise and ensure everything works as it should. 

Pilot Light Problems

Sometimes, a faulty pilot light can stop your boiler from coming on. Luckily, our engineers will be able to identify the issue and safely install the necessary parts to ensure your heating system ignites every time.   

Leaks and Water Damage     

If your boiler is leaking water, it is not only inefficient, but you will likely experience damage to your property. At Boiler Gas Tech Ltd, we quickly identify and repair the issue, which may simply involve changing a couple of worn parts, thereby reinstating the efficiency you expect from your system. 

Installing a New Boiler: What to Expect 

A new boiler installation may well result in energy efficiency and reliability improvements. Here at Boiler Gas Tech Ltd, we make the installation process simple and efficient for your property. 

Assessing your Property

Before installation, we will complete a complete survey to determine the right type, size, and position of your new boiler after weighing up the efficiency and the cost effectiveness of each option. 

Professional Installation 

All our engineers are Gas Safe registered and follow regulations for strict safety standards at all times during the installation process. From plumbing to integrating existing controls to your new boiler, we will ensure it works perfectly from the first day it is switched on.  

System Testing and Commissioning

Following the installation, we test the system thoroughly to ensure it works effectively and safely. This entails checking the pressure of the water, temperature controls, and all safety features.
