Gas Boiler Servicing

Regular gas boiler servicing is essential for safety, efficiency, and reliability. Many homeowners skip this crucial maintenance, only to face expensive breakdowns and costly emergency repairs. At MBW Plumbing & Heating, we provide professional annual gas boiler servicing across Hampshire. As a Gas Safe registered engineer with 16 years of experience, Mike ensures your boiler stays safe, efficient, and reliable year-round.

Why Annual Gas Boiler Servicing Matters

Your gas boiler works hard, especially during winter months. Without regular servicing, efficiency declines, safety risks increase, and small problems develop into major repairs. Annual servicing is the single best investment in your boiler's longevity and performance. Most boiler manufacturers recommend annual servicing to maintain warranty coverage - skip your service, and you may lose warranty protection for repairs.

‍

Safety and Carbon Monoxide Testing

Safety is the primary reason for annual boiler servicing. During a professional service, we check for carbon monoxide leaks - a deadly gas that claims hundreds of lives yearly in the UK. We also inspect gas connections, seals, combustion, and flue systems to ensure safe operation. These checks protect your family and comply with Gas Safe regulations. Many customers feel much more secure knowing their boiler has been professionally checked by a qualified engineer.

Improving Efficiency and Reducing Bills

A serviced boiler operates more efficiently, saving you money on energy bills. Over time, dirt and carbon deposits build up inside your boiler, reducing efficiency by 20-30%. During servicing, we clean internal components, optimize settings, and check system pressure. This helps your boiler produce more heat from less fuel, directly reducing your heating bills. For a typical family, annual servicing can save £100-200 per year on energy costs.

What's Included in Our Service

Our comprehensive gas boiler service includes: safety inspection of all gas connections and seals, combustion and flue testing, carbon monoxide check, efficiency test, internal cleaning of key components, pressure and control testing, and a full written report with recommendations. The service takes approximately one hour and is the best preventative maintenance you can do for your heating system.

‍

Extending Your Boiler's Lifespan

Regular servicing significantly extends your boiler's operational life. A well-maintained boiler typically lasts 12-15 years, whereas neglected boilers may fail after just 8-10 years. Small issues identified during servicing can be fixed before they cause major damage. This approach is far more cost-effective than dealing with emergency breakdowns and replacement.

‍

Service Plan Options

We offer three flexible service plan options. Our Bronze plan (£9.99 + VAT monthly) includes annual service, system water test, and CO check. Silver (£14.99 + VAT) adds 24-hour emergency call-outs and 10% labour discount. Gold (£19.99 + VAT) includes priority call-outs, out-of-hours service, and parts discount. Service plans make budgeting easier and ensure you never miss your annual service.
