A Complete Guide on Boiler Repair Services

Posted by WPJ Heating on February 14th, 2022

Did you invest in a high-quality boiler from a well-known brand? Sadly, like any appliance; even the best boilers will eventually develop problems and require a professional to fix them. There are probably many companies offering boiler repair services in your area, making it challenging to choose the best one. Not every service provider is alike, so it’s necessary to research and compare boiler services in terms of price, quality, and value. Use this guide to make an informed choice to hire the right service provider.

 Narrow down the options

 The boiler repair service must be offered by an established and experienced company, with an in-house team of Gas Safe registered engineers. That way, you can be assured that they’re accredited to work on your gas boiler, no matter the brand or manufacturer. You should also check if they specialise in working with specific brands of boilers, so you don’t have to worry about voiding any warranties.

 Why work with qualified engineers?

 Working with boilers or any gas appliance requires experience, formal training, and extensive skill. Contractors who lack the requisite qualifications could put your property and safety at risk when they insufficiently repair the boiler to make things worse. Gas Safe registered engineers always prioritise your safety when repairing and servicing boilers. Reputable service providers are also registered with the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineers (CIPHE), the professional and technical body for those professionals in the UK.

 Know what they can do for you

 The type and extent of the boiler repair will depend on the issue at hand. Rest assured, most qualified Gas Safe registered heating engineers can address a wide array of boiler problems, such as low pressure, radiators failing to heat up, flashing lights, and no hot water. They can also recommend ways to improve the energy efficiency of your boiler during repair and provide reminders for annual servicing. This way, you’re given the peace of mind you deserve when your heating appliance is rightly maintained and safe to use.

 What else should you know?

 Ensure the boiler repair service provider has a good reputation in your area. You can verify that by looking up customer testimonials and reviews. Just remember to take them with a grain of salt.
