All gas appliances should be regularly serviced, at least once a year. In the case of a new appliance that carries a 2-year warranty (i.e Vaillant boiler), a service carried out by a CORGI registered engineer is required to validate the second year of the guarantee.
In addition to prolonging the life of your appliance, regular servicing helps keep it working safely and efficiently

• Visual examination of the appliance and its flue to confirm that it is suitably located and installed in accordance will all relevant regulations.
• Examination and cleaning of combustion chamber, fan, heat exchanger burner etc.
