This Which Consumer report covers why you should have an annual service and what you should look for.
The Hidden Cost of Skipping Boiler Maintenance
A neglected boiler can cost you far more than an annual service:
- Energy efficiency drops by up to 15% annually without proper maintenance
- Component failures that could have been prevented with regular cleaning and adjustment
- Complete system breakdown during peak winter months when engineers are in highest demand
- Dangerous carbon monoxide risks from poorly maintained flue systems and burners
Our Gas Safe registered engineers have serviced over 10,000 boilers across West London, and we see the same pattern: homes with regular annual maintenance enjoy 90% fewer emergency breakdowns and significantly lower energy bills.
