Thinking of booking a boiler service? Here's exactly what to expect and why it matters.
If you’ve never had your boiler serviced—or you’ve just moved into a new home—it’s natural to wonder what actually happens during a boiler service. Is it just a quick look over, or something more detailed?
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what’s included when you book your service with Ox Heating in Hull, Beverley, or anywhere in East Yorkshire.
Step 1: Safety Checks
Your engineer will check for any gas leaks, carbon monoxide risks, and make sure your boiler is operating safely. This is one of the most important parts of the service.
Step 2: Visual Inspection
They’ll inspect your boiler and the surrounding area for signs of wear, corrosion, or water leaks.
Step 3: Internal Clean
Parts like the burner, heat exchanger and flue are checked and cleaned to help your boiler run more efficiently.
Step 4: Flue & Pressure Checks
Your flue is checked to make sure gases are exiting safely. They’ll also check boiler pressure and adjust if needed.
Step 5: Performance Testing
Your boiler is tested to make sure it’s running correctly, and any small issues are flagged early before they become costly.
Step 6: Service Record & Advice
You’ll receive a full report, plus advice if anything needs fixing now or might cause problems in future. If your boiler is under warranty, this service helps keep that valid too.
Book your boiler service today with Ox Heating and make sure your heating system is safe, efficient, and winter-ready.
