Keep Your Heating Running Safely and Efficiently
An annual boiler service is one of those jobs that's easy to put off, but it's one of the most important things you can do to protect your home, your family and your wallet.
A service checks that your boiler is burning gas safely, identifies small problems before they become expensive breakdowns, and keeps your system running as efficiently as possible. That means lower energy bills. It also keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, which is something many homeowners don't realise until it's too late. At Gaslec, our engineers service boilers every day. We know what to look for, we don't rush the job, and if we spot something that needs attention we'll talk you through it there and then. No jargon, no pressure.
What's Included in a Gaslec Boiler Service
Every service we carry out follows a thorough inspection and testing process. Here's what you can expect:
Visual inspection
We check the boiler, flue, pipework and ventilation for any signs of damage, corrosion or wear.
Component checks
We inspect key internal components including the heat exchanger, burner, ignition, seals and condensate trap.
Gas pressure and flow checks
We test the gas supply to make sure your boiler is receiving the correct pressure and burning efficiently.
Controls and thermostat check
We make sure your heating controls, thermostat and programmer are working correctly and communicating with the boiler.
Flue gas analysis
Using specialist equipment, we measure the gases your boiler produces to check it's combusting safely and within legal limits.
Safety record
Once complete, we'll provide you with a service record for your files. If you're a landlord, this forms part of your compliance documentation.
Why Bother With an Annual Service?
Your boiler works hard every day, and like any appliance that runs on gas, it needs regular attention to stay safe and efficient. A yearly service checks for carbon monoxide risks, catches small faults before they turn into expensive repairs and keeps your energy bills as low as possible. It's one of the simplest things you can do to protect your home.
There's a practical side too. Most boiler manufacturers require an annual service to keep your warranty valid. Skip it and you could lose years of cover without realising. A 30 to 45 minute visit once a year is a small price to pay for that peace of mind.

How often should I get my boiler serviced?
Once a year. An annual service keeps your boiler safe, running efficiently and covered under your manufacturer's warranty.
How long does a boiler service take?
Around 30 to 45 minutes for a standard domestic boiler. We won't rush it, but we won't keep you waiting around all day either.
Will a service void my warranty?
The opposite. Most manufacturers require an annual service to keep your warranty valid. Missing one could mean losing your cover entirely.
What happens if you find a problem during the service?
We'll talk you through it there and then, explain what needs doing and give you a price before we go ahead with anything. There's no pressure to commit on the spot.
Do I get a certificate or record after the service?
