Gas boiler service - should it be done every year?

Water heaters

Aug 7, 2024

Servicing a gas boiler is not an item in the household budget where you should skimp, and not just because of the danger of carbon monoxide leaks. We present the other advantages of annual servicing below.

Greater energy efficiency and lower bills

Cleaning and adjusting the burner, removing limescale, and replacing worn-out parts enable maximum boiler efficiency. This means lower gas consumption and lower heating bills at the end of the month.

Prevention of unplanned breakdowns

During the annual service, a technician can spot minor issues and address them. If the device is not maintained, small issues will easily escalate into larger breakdowns that could lead to the complete malfunction of the boiler – and unplanned expense.

Longer lifespan for devices

Even if there is a connection to a standard chimney, installing a conventional gas water heater is not a cheap undertaking. Devices from reputable manufacturers such as Vaillant, Ariston, and Bosch are available from 1200 EUR onwards.

If you also consider the cost of delivery and installation, it is clear that an annual service is definitely worthwhile in the long run.

More even home heating

With an annual check of the expansion vessel and cleaning of the electrodes, burners, and fans, you can achieve the desired temperature more quickly and maintain it more evenly distributed.

It's best to service the boiler in early autumn, before the heating season. However, if you were on vacation at that time, or you simply forgot, don't worry - service providers from Postaj will always find time for you.
