Benefits of One-Off Boiler Service.
Instead of paying a monthly premium for boiler insurance, there are potentially significant cost benefits to a 'pay as you go', one-off boiler service.
A one-off boiler servicing has the following advantages:
Compared to a boiler cover plan, one-time boiler servicing can be less expensive.
You can choose which company, and you're not limited to one specific supplier, as may be the case with the insurance company.
You may compare prices to find cheaper premiums.
You only pay for what you need, which means you may not need a fully comprehensive boiler cover policy. A one-off boiler servicing would be a better option.
You don't have to meet any policy criterion before you can make a claim.
A one-off boiler service typically includes a visual inspection of your boiler, followed by a more detailed inspection of the internal components. The service engineer will check the boiler's pressure, thermostat, safety valves, CO levels, boiler casing seals and other critical parts to ensure everything works correctly. They may also clean the burner and heat exchanger to improve the boiler's efficiency.
During the service, the engineer may also advise on how to improve your boiler's performance and efficiency. They may recommend upgrades or modifications to the system, such as installing a programmable thermostat.
Another benefit of a one-off boiler service that you can get is peace of mind. If you're not sure about your boiler condition or concerned about its repairs and safety, serviceteam can help you give additional guides to put your mind at rest. Our qualified engineers can identify any potential issues in boilers and recommend a contingency plan.

As a landlord, it's crucial that you prioritise the safety and comfort of your tenants. This means taking responsibility for their heating needs and that all boilers in a landlord's properties are up-to-date, efficient and in accordance with regulations. A Gas Safety Certificate will be required (by law) to prove that a rented property with a gas boiler installation has been inspected and passed as safe. This is an annual obligation a landlord has to its tenants. In the event of a Gas related accident causing personal injury, a landlord can be severely fined or imprisoned (or both).
It's essential to ensure that annual gas safety inspections take place to remain compliant with legal responsibilities and, by doing so, can foster a thriving and respectful bond with your tenants.
