What do heating engineers do when carrying out a boiler service?
A boiler service will normally include the following:
Visual Inspection
The gas engineer will ensure that your boiler meets current safety standards. The gas engineer will also check for any visible rust, corrosion or damage.
The Boiler Casing
The heating engineer will clean the inside of the boiler. They will check components such as the burner and the heat exchanger.
Flue Checks
The flue pipe will be checked for any obstructions.
The Operations and The Controls
The heating engineer will check to ensure that all controls and safety features of your boiler are working efficiently.
Any Additional Checks
Adequate ventilation will be checked too.
Record
A record of each test will be taken. A copy of this will be given to the property owner.
Boiler Check Up
The heating engineer will fire up the boiler to ensure that everything is running smoothly and that any changes they have made are working correctly.
How long does a boiler service take?
A full boiler service completed by an engineer from Chalmers Plumbing & Heating would normally take about thirty minutes to one hour. The length of the boiler service will depend on the model and make of boiler you own. If a boiler repair is required, the service will take longer.
An annual boiler service is the best course of action. If however your boiler develops a fault before the annual service is due, please don’t hesitate in contacting us.

The cost of a boiler service can vary. The cost will depend on a few different things such as:

- Where you live.
- The make and manufacturer of your boiler.
