Boiler Service & Repairs Benfleet

Boiler Service

Boiler servicing is preventive maintenance performed by a qualified engineer to ensure your Boiler operates safely and efficiently.

Servicing is typically conducted on an annual basis. The process of servicing a Boiler generally includes the following steps:

• Inspection: The engineer inspects the Boiler and its components for wear or damage. This includes checking the Boiler’s controls and settings to ensure they operate correctly.
• Cleaning: Key parts of the Boiler, such as the heat exchanger, burner, and fan, are cleaned to remove dirt and debris affecting the Boiler’s efficiency and safety.
• Testing: Various components are tested to ensure they are functioning correctly. This includes safety devices, pressure settings, the flue and combustion releases.
• Performance Check: The engineer will check the Boiler’s performance, ensuring it heats up properly and delivers hot water as expected.
• Identification of Potential Issues: Any potential issues that could lead to future breakdowns are identified, and recommendations for preventive measures or future repairs are provided.

A boiler service aims to keep your Boiler in optimal working condition, reduce the risk of breakdowns, ensure safety, maintain the efficiency of your Boiler and keep your warranty valid.

Boiler Repair

Boiler Repair is the process of fixing a specific issue. Repairs are necessary when a part of the Boiler stops working correctly or breaks down.

Boiler repairs vary in complexity and usually involve:

• Diagnosing the Problem: Identifying the specific issue causing the Boiler fault. This could be anything from a broken thermostat to a leaking pipe or a faulty burner.
• Replacing Parts: Often, repairs involve replacing worn or damaged parts, such as valves, seals, ignitors, or pumps.
• Correcting Issues: This includes fixing leaks, clearing blockages, repairing electrical faults, and adjusting settings that cause operational issues.
• Testing Post-Repair: After repairs, the engineer will test the Boiler to ensure it runs correctly and safely.

Boiler repairs are reactive and typically occur when a fault or breakdown occurs. 

A Boiler Service is a routine check to ensure your Boiler is cleaned and working efficiently and safely.

In contrast, a Boiler Repair involves diagnosing and fixing specific problems that prevent the Boiler from working correctly. 

Regular servicing can often prevent the need for repairs by catching and addressing minor issues before they turn into major problems.

Types Of Boilers We Service & Repair

We service and repair all types of Boilers, which include:

Gas Boilers

Gas Boilers, which use natural gas as fuel, are the most prevalent type in many homes. Known for their efficiency, they often require routine servicing to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Oil Boilers

Oil Boilers are similar to gas Boilers but use oil as fuel. These are common in areas without access to natural gas and require more frequent cleaning and maintenance due to their fuel type.

Electric Boilers

Electric Boilers use electricity to heat water. They are typically smaller and quieter than gas or oil Boilers. While they are less common for central heating due to higher electricity costs, they are easier to maintain.

LPG Boilers

LPG Boilers are an alternative for areas where natural gas is not available. They operate similarly to natural gas Boilers but use Liquefied Petroleum Gas as fuel. These Boilers are known for their efficiency and are a popular choice in rural or remote areas. 

Combi Boilers

Combination Boilers, or combi Boilers, provide hot water and central heating from a single unit. They are efficient and space-saving, making them ideal for smaller homes and apartments.

System Boilers

System boilers utilise a cylinder but not a tank to store hot water. They are suitable for homes with multiple bathrooms and provide a steady hot water supply.

Conventional (Regular) Boilers

Also known as traditional or heat-only Boilers, conventional Boilers require a cylinder and a water storage tank.

Often found in older homes, they can be more complex to service due to their additional components.
