Have you ever wondered what technicians do when they service a boiler in Newport? Well, this post is here to help. We run through their standard procedure so you can get a better understanding of what you’re paying for.

Visual Inspection

Most engineers begin by visually inspecting the external parts of the boiler, such as the casing, pipes, valves, vents, flues, and controls. At this stage, they look for any signs of damage, corrosion, leaks, or blockages that could affect the performance or safety of the boiler.

Cleaning

Next, engineers remove dust, dirt, or debris that has accumulated inside the boiler or its components. (This may occur if there is a problem with the filters, or the flame doesn’t burn cleanly in a gas boiler).

Testing

Engineers then test the boiler’s functionality and safety features, such as the thermostat, pressure gauge, gas valve, ignition system, flame sensor, and safety devices. These can all degrade or lose performance over time.

Adjustments

Engineers make adjustments based on their findings. They ensure your boiler meets the manufacturer’s specifications to perform optimally and meets various regulatory requirements, depending on its age.

Reporting

Lastly, engineers provide you with a detailed report of their work, explaining their findings. They should also advise you on how to maintain your boiler in between services and when to schedule your next service.
