Central Heating and Boiler Basics

Natural gas*, supplied to the home by an underground main line, is fed through a small pipe leading into your home. When the thermostat triggers the boiler to heat the house, a valve opens, releasing the natural gas into a combustion chamber in the form of small jets. An electric spark ignites the fuel. The fire heats the water-filled pipes that circulate through your home. The pipes connect to a radiator where the heated water emits heat energy into the room. Once the heat is exhausted into the air, the cooled water returns through the pipes leading back to the boiler to be reheated and circulated again.

  • – Other fuels such as Oil, Biomass and LPG may be used, but the principle is the same for all.

Boiler Servicing How Often

High Energy Efficiency Combi Boilers - 5 Things You Need to Know

It is important to maintain boiler systems properly. The best way to do this is to get your boiler serviced frequently. Experts and manufacturers themselves recommend getting your boilers serviced at least once a year, to be on the safe side. Servicing a boiler can make it more efficient and increase its performance. This keeps it in a good and functional condition, making it last longer. Although the sound of servicing your boiler might seem expensive, especially on a yearly basis, the cost will only go up the longer you put it off. In addition to this, it can become harmful and dangerous to all those living in the same house.

A yearly servicing is the recommended frequency; however, there are a few exceptions to this rule that must be taken into account for. Moving into a new house with a boiler already installed needs to be serviced too before it is used. You cannot be sure how old the boiler is, or how long it has been since it was last used or serviced, so it is always best to be safe than sorry. Also, it is recommended to get your boiler serviced if you have been on an extended holiday where no-one has been at home to use the said boiler. A dormant boiler can be filled with anti-freeze that must be drained before use once again. Also, once again, after not being in use for a long time, you cannot be sure the condition of the boiler. There may be clogged or broken parts which to someone who isn't trained in the profession of servicing boilers would be unaware of.

The best time for getting a boiler service done is in between August and October, the last few months of summer. Not only is this after the holiday period, where you might have left the boiler unused for some amount of time, but these months are the in the off-peak season so many service providers would be both available and able to offer you a discount. This means that you can save on money and get a good, professional service from a trained and licensed expert without any hassle. Leaving the service for even a few weeks after this time period will see a rise in the price and the busyness of the workmen as winter comes around and boilers start to break and need fixing.

A good boiler service provider is someone who has a good reputation and is qualified. Finding someone like this isn't hard, as there are many professionals out there, however, it is essential that you make sure that the person you choose to hire is an expert in the boiler servicing field. Checking a person's or a company's licenses can be easily done by logging onto the Gas Safe Register in the United Kingdom and looking up their names. The industry of boiler servicing is very lucrative, with many of your local company's and independent workers offering competitive prices for a variety of different services including boiler servicing. It is important not to get too distracted by the pricing when hiring someone to do the job.

Your boiler system manual is the best place to start when looking for information about its servicing. The manufacturer can also help you by answering any questions you might have that are not mentioned in the manual. Phone numbers and email addresses are usually provided with the manual, but if not, it can be easily found on the internet.
