With the recent sunny weather, gardens can grow quickly 🌱☀️
Take a moment to check that vegetation isn’t blocking any flues or vents. Keeping these clear is essential to keep your gas appliances running safely.

Did you know, summer is the best time of year to get your boiler serviced? ☀️

Booking your boiler service within the summer months means you can get faster bookings as winter is peak season for boiler breakdowns. ☹️

Summer servicing also allows for our engineers to find any faults that could become a problem when you turn your boiler back on in winter. Saving you the faff of a cold shower, or broken heating in the frosty, dark nights!

A lot of new boilers are also installed during the summer to avoid losing your heating during the chillier months. With summer servicing you can ensure to keep up on your boiler servicing to maintain your boiler warranty! 🔥
