Boiler Servicing & Repairs
Problems can occur with your boiler at home if it has been neglected and not had a regular boiler service. We always recommend that your boiler is serviced annually to ensure that it’s operating efficiently, safe and any potential more serious problems can be identified early.
Why should you maintain your boiler at home?
Here at OGS, we recommend all our customers to arrange their boiler service annually. If we have serviced your boiler previously, you will receive a reminder when your boiler is due again for its service.
It’s always best to have scheduled maintenance for your boiler to maintain correct, safe and efficient operation and of course minimise the risk of a complete boiler failure and the subsequent replacement costs.
We find that many homeowners feel they can’t resist the temptation to wait until the boiler is on its last legs before replacing it. Our opinion is that this can be both dangerous and costly. A boiler that is not operating correctly can present a danger to your family and your house including an increased risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
A well-maintained boiler is a safe and efficient boiler.
