Have you considered spending some money to save money? Funny as it might sound, getting a cheap oil boiler service can save you a lot of money in the long run, especially if you boiler breaks down.
A boiler that is serviced regularly can save you money in a number of ways, two of the main ways are:
1. Serviced boilers run more efficiently, so they use up less fuel when heating up your house or water. Quite simply, the less fuel you burn, the more money you will save on your monthly fuel bill, so getting a service to keep it operating efficiently is a wise decision.
2. A regular service will make sure all the parts of a boiler are performing as they should do. Regular checks can spot any potential problems and deal with them before they become a large problem. It’s very much a ‘prevention rather than cure’ philosophy, whereby you proactively care for your boiler on a regular basis to help avoid any catastrophic, costly breakdowns.
However, getting a regular service is not just about saving money. The quality of the service can mean you have the peace of mind that the boiler is safe to use on a regular basis. When it comes to boiler safety and getting a service, the two are closely related, and there are a number of things to consider:
1. Get a service from a reputable professional, with all the relevant qualifications. This way you will know if you boiler has passed to the highest industry standards.
2. Make sure you get a full boiler service and not a ‘boiler check’ or similarly worded inspection otherwise you’ll end up with a large bill and no peace of mind with regards to boiler safety.
3. You should never attempt any type of boiler servicing, no matter how proficient you are at DIY. Any mistakes or problems that go unnoticed could cause serious damage to your health.
So that’s how you can actually save money by spending money on a cheap boiler service. Keeping your boiler in healthy running order not only helps keep the fuel bills down, but helps keep you and your family safe in the process.
