Types of Gas Boiler Maintenance

There are several types of boiler maintenance that should be done regularly to ensure optimal performance:

Annual Servicing

It is recommended to have your boiler serviced by a professional at least once a year. During this service, the technician will inspect and clean various components, check for any leaks or malfunctions, and make necessary adjustments.

In addition to annual servicing, it is important to regularly clean your boiler yourself. This includes removing dust and debris from the exterior, as well as cleaning any accessible interior components.

Checking your boiler’s pressure regularly is important to ensure it is functioning properly. Low pressure can indicate a leak or other issue that needs to be addressed.
