Keep your boiler running efficiently

Your boiler is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home, keeping you warm and your water running smoothly. At BIG Warranties, we know that a well-maintained boiler isn't just a convenience, it's an investment in safety, efficiency, and cost savings. Annual servicing is a simple step that can prevent expensive repairs, prolong your boiler's lifespan, and ensure your system runs efficiently all year round.

Prevent costly breakdowns

A regular boiler service allows a qualified Gas Safe engineer to spot potential issues before they turn into major problems. Common faults like leaks, faulty pumps, or pressure problems are far easier and cheaper to fix when caught early. For example, a simple service costing under £100 can prevent repair bills of £300–£500 or more if a breakdown occurs.

Improve efficiency and reduce energy bills

Over time, boilers can lose efficiency due to limescale, sludge, or worn parts. An annual service keeps your boiler running at peak performance, meaning it uses less energy to heat your home. This can translate into noticeable savings on your energy bills over the year.

Stay safe at home

Safety is one of the most important reasons to schedule regular boiler servicing. A poorly maintained boiler can pose serious risks, including carbon monoxide leaks. During a service, your engineer will check for gas leaks, ensure proper ventilation, and confirm your boiler is operating safely, giving you peace of mind for you and your family.

Avoid seasonal disruptions

Winter is the time you rely on your boiler most, but it’s also when breakdowns are most likely. Booking your annual service before the colder months ensures your heating and hot water remain reliable when you need them most, helping you avoid emergency call-outs and cold showers.

Protect your warranty

Many boiler warranties require proof of annual servicing to remain valid. Regular servicing ensures you stay covered, protecting your investment in case of unexpected issues.
