We all know that having your boiler inspected yearly has several benefits. But when exactly is the best time to get your boiler serviced? Here are a few reasons to get your boiler serviced during the summer.
Reasons why you should service your boiler in the summer
Convenience
During the summer months, many heating engineers have a bit more of a flexibility and are slightly less busy, making it easier to book it during a time that works for you. The main reason for this is due to the fact that boilers are not normally utilised as much since heating is not required, hence the frequency of failures is substantially lower when compared to the winter.
If you postpone your yearly boiler servicing until winter, you may encounter lengthier wait times. Heating engineers prioritise emergency boiler repairs beginning in October, as more people have turned their heating on for the first time in a long time. This may require you schedule an appointment around the engineers availability.
Cost
There is a chance you can save money on your next boiler service because heating engineers are more likely to offer discounts during the less busy times. This benefits heating companies as well as individual heating engineers financially.
If you're wondering, 'How much does it cost to service a boiler?' It will depend on whether you choose an individual heating professional or a big heating company. When planning for your boiler check, consider whether you'll be having a one-time boiler service or signing up for a boiler service plan which can help set a budget.
Efficiency
When a heating engineer services your boiler, it also looks at your boiler's efficiency. If it turns out that your boiler is inefficient, it will use more fuel and increase your heating bills.
Getting your boiler serviced during the summer allows any boiler inefficiencies to be fixed before it starts to get cold. So when you are ready to turn your boiler back on, you will have an efficient boiler with reduced fuel costs.
