Boiler Service

[miah]

When the boiler is serviced, exactly what work is carried out in side the boiler.

For example is it, heat exchange, gas pressure, sludge, pilot light, ignition, etc……….. is this all included in the service?





Appreciate your suggestion.

It depends who does it. It takes me two hours to go through an oil boiler and complete the paperwork and collect the cheque. I know of people who take 20 minutes and take the cash. I hear about these from the customers whose boilers haven't been serviced properly in years.

However, if you have a gas boiler, I can't help as I exclusively do oil.

Operating pressure, check flue normally change thermo couple, check burners, check igittion- pilot light, clean any deposits. Check for fume spillage, check gas safety shut off is working correctly check adequate ventilation. Normally 1 hour.

Similar time to oilman for combi boiler- sometimes more. All work carried out in front of client. Client sees and client talks (to others) Not short of work. And all I do is boiler repairs and servicing. No quotes. Hardly any boiler changes.
