Most of us won't consider having our boiler looked at until it breaks down and we don't have any heating or hot water. An annual service has many benefits:
- Catch minor faults before they become major problems.
- Gas pipe work tested for leaks.
- Reduced Gas bills from maintained performance and efficiency.
- Save your life, faulty boilers can produce carbon monoxide (CO) from which around 14 people a year die in the UK.
- Stay Legal, Landlords are legally required to have all their gas appliances checked annually (CP12). you can be fined up to £20000 and be jailed for up to 5 years for not having the appliances checked. For more info click here
