A question that pops up all the time is: what’s the difference between a boiler service and a gas safety check?
Gas Safety Check
A gas safety check is the minimum requirement required on gas appliances every 12 months. So an engineer will check general gas safety on an appliance, make sure it’s burning right, that there are no signs of any damage and that the appliance is safe to run for another 12 months. A bit like an MOT on a car.
Boiler Service
A boiler service is a more in depth check of the gas appliance. Not only are all the same checks done that are in the gas safety check, but extra time and care is taken to strip the appliance down. Seals will be changed and burners cleaned etc. To use the car analogy again, it’s like a full service on a car.
