Keeping your boiler in good condition is essential for both safety and efficiency. At SNT Plumbing & Heating, we often get asked by customers in Bath and Bristol what is actually included in a boiler service. A clear understanding helps you know what to expect and shows why annual servicing is such an important part of looking after your home.

What We Check During a Boiler Service

Visual Inspection

We begin by carrying out a full visual inspection of your boiler and surrounding area. This helps us identify any signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage. We also check your flue and ventilation to make sure harmful gases are being safely expelled from your home.

Internal Component Checks

Once the outside has been assessed, we remove the boiler casing to inspect the main internal components. This includes the heat exchanger, burner, ignition system, and other critical parts. If we notice any build-up of dirt or debris, we clean it away to help your boiler run more efficiently and prevent future problems.

Safety Tests and Performance Measurements

Your safety is always our priority. We test the gas pressure, measure the flue emissions, and check for carbon monoxide leaks. We also ensure your controls and thermostat are working correctly so you can rely on your heating system day to day.

Cleaning and Efficiency Improvements

During the service, we clean parts that naturally gather dirt, such as filters and fans. This process improves efficiency, reduces your energy bills, and helps your boiler heat your home and water more consistently.

Service Record and Professional Advice

At the end of every service, we provide you with a detailed service record. If we find anything that needs attention, we’ll explain your options clearly, from minor adjustments to potential part replacements. Keeping this record is especially important for landlords, as it helps ensure compliance with legal safety requirements.
