Boiler servicing might seem like one more expense on top of another but an annual inspection from our qualified heating engineers could protect you and your family from harm. Between 2010 and 2020, more than 100 people across England and Wales died through accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. Booking in to have your boiler serviced will keep it running safely and efficiently, affording you the peace of mind you so rightly deserve.
Only a registered Gas Safe technician can perform boiler servicing. The time-served and qualified heating engineers at Forward Plumbing Services can service boilers in Eastbourne and all surrounding locations in East Sussex.
Additional areas covered by our personnel include:
Hailsham | Hastings | Uckfield
While it is a homeowner’s choice as to whether they have a boiler serviced or not, it is mandatory for landlords to have gas appliances checked yearly.
If you fail to maintain or service your boiler, small issues tend to grow and, in addition to the associated dangers, repair costs rise incrementally based on how long you leave it to contact an engineer. Forward Plumbing Services will detect and address minor problems during annual boiler servicing to prevent any possible malfunctions which might prove to be costlier in the future.
And, while servicing your boiler is an added expense, it keeps your family safe and could save you money as the years go by. The more efficiently your boiler runs, the less it costs to operate it. The peace of mind that comes with safety is priceless, but energy savings are most definitely measurable, and it could cost less to heat an East Sussex home if we service your boiler annually.
Yearly boiler servicing also increases the appliance’s lifespan.
If you have an extended warranty on your boiler, or if you have a home or business insurance policy, the terms and conditions could indicate that you must book in for annual boiler servicing. Failure to do so could see your policy invalidated should something go wrong with the appliance. We strongly advise that you read through your insurance policies, and that you contact our heating engineers to arrange a service at the earliest opportunity.
As already specified, landlords have a legal obligation to protect their tenants and must have boilers, gas appliances and flues inspected annually. Please note that your landlord is not responsible for any gas appliances that you own personally, only those that make up the fabric of the property.
The best time to book in for annual boiler servicing is during the summer. This sets your appliance up for the colder winter months, the time you need it the most. Also, our heating engineers and technicians tend to be busier in winter because of boiler and central heating breakdowns. It is important to us that we can offer the services our Eastbourne, Hailsham, Hastings, Uckfield and East Sussex customers need on a responsive, timely and efficient basis.
