Why Boiler & Heating Servicing Matters
Regular servicing isn’t just about compliance, it helps your heating system run safely and efficiently. Professional servicing can:
- Detect potential faults early, preventing costly repairs
- Maintain energy efficiency, lowering heating bills
- Ensure your system is safe and compliant with industry standards
- Protect warranties from voiding due to missed servicing
As a result, with annual servicing, our engineers can check every part of your system, from combustion components to safety devices, ensuring potential issues such as carbon monoxide leaks, poor efficiency, or breakdowns are prevented.

We provide a detailed, professional service for all types of heating and hot water systems, including:
- Gas boilers (combi, system, and conventional)
- Oil boilers (OFTEC registered)
- LPG / liquid petroleum gas systems
- Air source heat pumps
- Unvented hot water cylinders
Our standard boiler service includes:
1. Inspection and cleaning of all critical boiler components
2. Performance and safety tests on controls and combustion

5. Full documentation of findings for your records
We service all makes and models of boilers, whether modern high efficiency units or older systems. Our engineers ensure your system operates safely, efficiently, and reliably.
Air Source Heat Pump Servicing
Just like a boiler, an air source heat pump needs regular servicing to keep it running efficiently and keep your running costs down. Most manufacturers recommend a service once a year, and it is often needed to keep your warranty valid.
Our heat pump service includes checking and clearing the outdoor unit, checking system pressure and water flow, testing the controls and settings, and making sure your system is set up to run as efficiently as possible. Find out more about our heat pump installations.
Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Servicing
Unvented hot water cylinders store hot water at mains pressure, so they rely on their safety devices working properly. Manufacturers recommend an annual service, and it is usually a condition of the warranty. Our cylinder service includes:
- Checking and testing the pressure and temperature relief valves
- Checking the expansion vessel charge
- Checking the pressure reducing valve and inlet controls
- Checking the tundish and discharge pipework
- Testing the thermostats and immersion heater

Here are some FAQs for Central Heating Servicing
How Often Should You Service Your Boiler?
Most boilers should be serviced at least once a year, ideally before the colder months. Regular servicing helps catch small issues early and ensures your system performs optimally, whether it’s a gas, oil, or LPG system.
Why is gas servicing important?
Gas servicing is crucial for maintaining the safety and efficiency of your appliances. It helps prevent issues like carbon monoxide leaks, improves performance, and prolongs the lifespan of your boiler, fires, or cookers.
What does a typical service include?
Our comprehensive servicing includes inspecting and cleaning key components, checking for gas leaks, testing safety features, and assessing overall performance. We ensure your system complies with safety standards and operates efficiently.
Do you service oil and LPG boilers?
Yes. Our OFTEC registered engineers service oil boilers, and we also service LPG boilers and appliances for homes that are not on mains gas across Southampton, Romsey and Hampshire.
Does an air source heat pump need servicing?
Yes. Most manufacturers recommend servicing an air source heat pump once a year to keep it running efficiently and to protect your warranty. We service air source heat pumps across Southampton, Romsey and Hampshire.
Do unvented hot water cylinders need an annual service?
Yes. Unvented cylinders store hot water at mains pressure, so their safety valves and controls should be checked every year. Most manufacturers need an annual service to keep the warranty valid.
What are the signs my system needs servicing?
Common signs include unusual noises, uneven heating, a sudden spike in energy bills, or your boiler not heating water properly. If you notice these issues, it’s time to book a service.
How long does a boiler or central heating service take?
A standard service typically takes between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the system’s condition. For more complex issues, additional time may be required.
Can I service my own gas appliances?
No, gas servicing should only be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Attempting to service appliances yourself can be dangerous and void warranties.
What is power flushing, and do I need it?
Power flushing is a process to remove sludge and debris from your central heating system. It’s essential if you notice uneven heating, cold spots on radiators, or increased energy bills. Power flushing improves system efficiency and longevity.
Why is water testing important for my heating system?
Water quality can affect your system’s performance. Contaminants such as minerals and dissolved gases can cause scale build-up and corrosion. Regular water testing ensures your system operates efficiently and lasts longer.
