Things to consider and watch out for Ask what will be included in the boiler service. A good boiler service should last at least 30 minutes. If it’s shorter than this, ask why. Ask for a written report and check it is accurately filled out. If you have any concerns, contact DD WILSON GAS ENGINEERS. It's also worth getting a carbon monoxide detector. Although the checklist should stand you in good stead for most boilers, remember that not all are alike. Most older conventional systems, for example, have parts such as the heat exchanger, burner and fan that need to be dismantled and checked. This is not usually necessary for a modern boiler unless the flue gas analysis suggests a problem. Paying for boiler servicing Before paying for repairs, check whether your boiler is still under its initial warranty. Most new boilers typically come with cover for parts and labour in the first one or two years. Some home insurance also covers boiler breakdowns as standard or as an optional extra, so it's worth checking if you already have this. Adding breakdown cover to insurance cover is usually much less than getting a breakdown contract, but you don't get the same benefits. Here's what should take place as part of a boiler service: A visual check of the boiler and flame If possible, Check on the flue (externally and internally) Checking the operating pressure and/or heat input Checking safety devices Check case seals for an effective seal. The boiler casing was removed to check all main boiler components (burner, heat exchanger, main injector, spark/sensor probe) The boiler fired safely to identify any working faults. Boiler parts cleaned, if necessary A service report showing everything the engineer has done

Greetings, cherished friends. At DDWilson, our commitment to your comfort radiates as warmly as the top-of-the-line boilers we install. Our skilful team recently journeyed to Lark Lane, L17, where a formidable challenge awaited – a heating system in guardedly dire straits. A Chilling Tale Begins The quaint yet ample property told a sobering tale, one steeped in frigid discomfort. Imagine the chilling prospect of cold showers and radiators as frosty as the Arctic winds themselves. How would you feel if the winter warmth you sought was seemingly sealed behind icy barriers? An Ice-cold Investigation Our storyline takes an intriguing twist as we dive into the heart of the matter. What could freeze the heating capabilities of a robust property, replete with a 14-radiator array, helmed by a central boiler? The culprit unmasked turned out to be an undersized 30kw combi boiler, outmatched and outwitted by the heating demands of the property. Just picture a moped engine battling to run a hefty commuter bus! Plot Thickens with the Boiler’s Decline Painful as it was, this wasn’t just a matter of an inadequate boiler. Stealing the show was a condemned system, marred by blocked heat exchangers, absent magnetic filters, and a palpable neglect of servicing. Quite the revelation, given a service contract with a national company was in place. Welcome our new homeowners to this frosty stage, handed the baton of an ill-chosen boiler, obviously installed to merely 'tick a box'. Now, they bear the weighty prospects of arranging a new boiler system.
