Nobody enjoys having a boiler that doesn’t work. We rely on hot water to heat our homes and businesses, as well as provide nice warm showers throughout the year. We also need hot water for basic tasks like washing up and cleaning. Therefore, when you have an unexpected boiler breakdown, it can be very stressful and disruptive.
Unfortunately, things do go wrong with boilers from time to time. It’s important to know what to do in the event of a breakdown, so you can get back to normal quickly. We’ve put together a short guide to help you prepare yourself.
Call A Gas Safe Registered Engineer
Boiler breakdowns are usually as a result of something going wrong inside your boiler. This is not something that you should try and tackle yourself. Gas can be very dangerous in the wrong hands, and boilers have a lot of components that require specialist training to deal with safely. It’s important that you ensure that the engineer you call out is certified to work with gas. Check the Gas Safe Register online or ask to see their ID card when they visit. If they can’t prove their registration, do not employ them.
Thankfully, the team at Warmserve are Gas Safe registered engineers who can carry out all manner of boiler services safely. So, if your home or commercial premises has had a boiler breakdown, we can help.
Boiler Breakdown Prevention Plans
Nearly everyone relies on their boiler to provide hot water consistently. So, no matter whether you’re a homeowner or business owner, you need to take steps to prevent boiler breakdowns from happening. In fact, in the commercial sector it’s a legal requirement to schedule regular gas maintenance.
Commercial property landlords must have a Gas Safe registered engineer perform a safety inspection on their boilers once per year. This ensures that the boiler runs efficiently and isn’t going to pose a safety risk. As a result, unexpected boiler breakdowns are less likely to happen. We recommend that domestic customers do the same and also schedule an inspection once per year.
