What’s involved in a boiler service?

When you book a boiler service with one of our expert engineers, your boiler will receive a comprehensive set of checks to ensure that it is operating correctly and safely:

1 - The engineer will inspect your boiler, looking for any leaks or corrosion.

2 - They will then assess the colour of your boiler’s pilot light to ensure that it is burning fuel properly (fuel that is not fully burnt can be a safety risk).

3 - Next, the internal parts of the boiler will be checked and cleaned thoroughly, including vital components such as the spark probe, main injector, heat exchanger, burner, and safety devices.

4 - Your engineer will inspect the flue terminals. This is an important safety measure to ensure that the terminals are not blocked and that they have been sealed correctly.

5 - The water and gas pipework will be checked carefully for wear and tear.

6 - The engineer will investigate your gas pressure and flow settings. If these are not at the right level, they will be adjusted.

7 - Finally, they will switch on your boiler, checking that it is operating correctly and that the temperature controls are working properly.

Once the engineer has finished the boiler service, they will give you a boiler service report containing details and confirmation of all of these checks. Feel free to ask them questions if there are any parts of the report that you’re not sure about.

As well as providing the checks and the report, an annual Glow-worm boiler service will also ensure that your guarantee remains valid if you are still in your guarantee period.
