The Ultimate Boiler Service Checklist
What Happens During a Boiler Service?
As mentioned earlier, routine maintenance is vital, and a checklist should be used to ensure that every aspect of the boiler is addressed. We aim to ensure that the boiler functions efficiently and effectively before the next servicing date. Before servicing, ensure you have a copy of your manufacturer’s instructions for your boiler with you. Below is a checklist that we use:
Visual Inspection
The engineer will visually inspect the boiler’s internal and external parts for any signs of a faulty boiler, for instance, water leaks or any corrosion, and adjust any components that require immediate attention.
Operation and Control
Boilers have numerous controls and safety devices that our engineers will test to ensure they function correctly. They’ll also check whether the fuse rating for your boiler is correct. In case a safety defect is noted, our engineers will share full details of the fault with you and fix them in line with the Gas Industry Unsafe Situations Procedure (GIUSP)
Clean the main boiler components
A boiler service is not complete without the engineer removing, inspecting, and cleaning the main parts of the boiler to ensure they are fit to perform their functions effectively. The cleaning is done in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions. The engineers will focus on the main burner, heat exchanger, flue ways, and ignition pins.
Flue and Combustion Check
The flue is the pipe connecting your boiler to the outside of your house. It is important that the pipe’s construction and route are inspected to ensure it is still in place. Further, our engineers will ensure there are no obstructions in the flue terminals.
Safety Devises Inspection
Boiler servicing entails our engineers conducting an inspection of all the devices. The devices include:
- Flame sense device
- Pilot Burner and any cables
- Thermostat
- Boiler Operation
- Heating controls
- Flue effectiveness
- Gas and pressure flow
- Electrical wiring connections
- Seals
- Location of the boiler and the nearby environment
Complete manufacture service record
On completing the servicing, our engineers will complete the manufacturer's Service Record noting down all the relevant information from the service, such as a record of the heat input. The information will be shared with you, and we advise you to keep the record for future inspections or when boiler faults arise.
A boiler service should last approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Time is dependent on whether any repairs are needed and if they can be fixed there and then. When you reach out to us for a boiler service, our ready engineers will slot in on an agreed date and time for the servicing. Therefore, you should choose a suitable time to give our engineer ample time for the servicing.
Security is essential; therefore, we have provided our engineer with Gas Safe ID name tags entailing work-related information. We understand that you just don’t need anybody on your property, hence the security measure. Further, the engineer will introduce themselves upon arrival and confirm that you were expecting the service. Next, they’ll ask you a few questions about your boiler, the last time it was serviced, and if you have been having any problems with it.
With the information provided, our engineers will check for any signs of a faulty boiler that may need to be repaired. A Gas Safe engineer will always carry out the process carefully and ensure that you and your home are not placed at any risk during the service.
Before leaving, the engineer will ensure that the boiler is working well. This is to ensure that any control or safety devices altered during the service have been put back in place or left in a way that you, the customer, can easily adjust.
If you need any repairs done, the engineers will provide you with a quotation of what needs to be done and how much it would cost. The quotation will be an opportunity for you to compare with repair prices from elsewhere. If you decide to repair the faults, you can have them do so, and in case it is not possible, you can arrange for them to return to complete the work. It is prudent you find a date and time that works for you.
