Gas and Electric Boiler Service
In addition to performing annual gas safety checks and gas boiler servicing, we also provide maintenance and boiler repairs in Dartford for electric boilers. Just as with a gas boiler, electric heating and hot water products require regular checking and maintenance by professional heating engineers.
Even though annual servicing is optional for electric boilers, it is still highly recommended. It is essential not only because it will keep the boiler running smoothly, but also as a means of keeping it safe.
You can rely on our heating engineers to perform a thorough safety check, inspection and test of all your boiler’s major components. You can also call us in the event of a boiler breakdown. Count on our dedicated team of technicians to assist you with boiler repair and keep your heating and hot water running without problems.
Gas safety inspection checks
Our company can legally carry out a gas safety inspection check at your property. Such an inspection must be done every year only by qualified gas engineers. But unlike annual boiler service which is specific to your boiler, an annual gas safety check is done to ensure that all of your gas appliances are running safely and properly.
What to expect from our gas safety check service?
- Checking the gas meter to ensure there are no gas leaks
- Checking the smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detector
- Checking the operation of your boiler through a flue gas analyser
- Checking the readings and adjusting your boil if needed
- Checking the gas cooker and gas fire to ensure their safe operation.
As a professional boiler and central heating company, we are able to complete both tasks, boiler service and gas safety inspection check, in just one visit. All work will be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Why is it important to get your boiler serviced annually?
- To keep your boiler’s warranty valid. If your boiler is still covered by warranty, you must have it serviced. If you do not do it, your boiler warranty is null and void. Certain boiler warranties can only be claimed if you adhere to the manufacturer’s servicing instructions.
- To ensure your boiler is working at its most efficient. It is essential that your boiler works at its most efficient from an environmental as well as from an economical point of view. A faulty boiler can waste energy.
- General peace of mind. It is one of the most common reasons why people call boiler and heating professionals. You want to make sure you, your family, and your loved ones are safe. You want to make sure your boiler operates properly and safely.
- To avoid costly repairs. A boiler service should be performed annually. Even though it may seem counterintuitive to have a boiler service performed on something that is currently working perfectly, doing so can aid in the early detection of any possible problems. Thus, you will be able to avoid more costly repairs.

Your location. The price of boiler repair will vary depending on where you live. For big cities like London, there tend to be higher rates than in the countryside.
