It is recommended to have your regular boiler serviced annually by a qualified engineer. Regular maintenance helps ensure the system operates efficiently and safely, reducing the risk of breakdowns.

What are some essential upkeep tips for regular boilers?

Essential upkeep tips include regularly checking pressure levels, bleeding radiators to remove trapped air, ensuring the flue is clear of obstructions, and keeping an eye on any unusual noises or leaks.

How does a regular boiler impact energy bills?

Regular boilers can be less energy-efficient compared to modern systems like combi boilers or condensing boilers, potentially leading to higher energy bills. However, proper maintenance and optimising your heating system can improve efficiency and reduce costs.
