Boiler servicing in Houghton le Spring by AR Heating and Gas

What we check on a Houghton le Spring boiler service

The exact procedure follows the appliance manufacturer's requirements, but a proper service includes the checks needed to assess safe operation and the condition of the boiler. Depending on the appliance, that can include:

  • combustion readings using a flue gas analyser
  • burner, electrodes and heat exchanger inspected and cleaned where required
  • combustion seals checked for condition and correct fit
  • working gas pressure or gas rate checked where required
  • flue route and terminal inspected
  • condensate trap and discharge checked
  • safety devices and heating controls tested

At the end you receive a written service record. If the engineer finds something outside routine servicing, it is explained and priced separately.

Annual servicing and boiler warranties

Many boiler manufacturers require regular servicing as part of their warranty terms. The exact conditions vary by manufacturer and product, so keep the service record and check the warranty terms for your boiler.

Landlords

A landlord gas safety record is a separate legal gas-safety check from a boiler service. Where suitable, both can be arranged for the same visit. See our landlord gas safety page.

Boiler servicing around Houghton le Spring

We service boilers across Houghton le Spring and nearby DH4 and DH5 areas, including Newbottle, Shiney Row, Penshaw, Fence Houses, Philadelphia, Herrington, Bournmoor and West Rainton.

Older heating systems can have long-standing pipework and previous boiler conversions, so we pay attention to the condition of the installation as well as the appliance itself. On newer boilers, keeping a clear annual service record is particularly useful while the manufacturer warranty is still running.

We also service boilers in Sunderland, Washington and Durham. For a fault rather than a service, see Boiler repairs. No heat or hot water now? See Out of hours cover. Replacing an old boiler? See New boiler installation.

Houghton le Spring boiler service questions

Straight answers before you book.

What does a boiler service cost in Houghton le Spring? +
A standard gas boiler service starts from £80 + VAT. If a repair or additional work is needed, it is explained and priced separately before anything extra is done.
What is checked during a boiler service? +
The engineer follows the appliance manufacturer's servicing requirements and checks safe operation, combustion, the flue, relevant seals, controls and other service items appropriate to the boiler.
Does annual servicing keep my warranty valid? +
Many manufacturers require regular servicing as part of their warranty conditions. Exact terms vary, so keep your service record and check the warranty for your boiler.
My radiators are cold at the bottom. Will a service fix that? +
Not necessarily. Cold areas can point to circulation or system-water problems rather than routine boiler servicing. We will explain if separate system work is worth investigating.
Can you do a landlord gas safety check at the same visit? +
The landlord gas safety record and boiler service are separate checks, but where suitable they can be arranged for the same visit.
What happens if you find a fault? +
We explain what has been found, whether it affects safe operation and what the repair would cost. Additional repair work is not simply added to the service without agreement.
