Why Choose Chelmsford Gas Services?

A boiler that’s looked after is safer, cheaper to run and far less likely to pack in on the coldest week of the year.

Safety first, every time

We check for the things you can't see, including carbon monoxide risks, leaks and worn seals, so your family stays safe.

Lower running costs

A clean, well-tuned boiler burns less gas. We adjust it back to how it should run.

Keeps your warranty valid

Most manufacturers require an annual service to keep their guarantee in place. We do it by the book, and log it.

Catch small faults early

A worn part spotted in autumn is a cheap fix, not a breakdown in January.

Not just the boiler

We can look over the wider heating system too, from radiators to controls, so the whole thing works as it should.

Peace of mind

You get a clear verdict on your boiler's health, in plain English. No jargon, no upselling.

What a proper service actually covers

A service is roughly 30 checks, and it varies by appliance. Here’s what it looks like on the two most common boiler types.

For HE Boilers (High Efficiency)

Most modern condensing boilers

Preliminary System Checks:

✔︎ Visual inspection of the appliance and tightness test

✔︎ Fuse rating, conductors and mains bonding

✔︎ Flue guard and flue gas analyser reading

✔︎ Condense trap, pipework, burner seals and electrodes

Servicing work:

✔︎ Remove and clean the condense trap

✔︎ Replace the burner seal if required

✔︎ Clean the heat exchanger if required

✔︎ Adjust the gas valve for better efficiency if required

Standard-efficiency (SE) boilers

Older, non-condensing appliances

Preliminary System Checks:

✔︎ Visual inspection of the appliance and tightness test

✔︎ Fuse rating, conductors and mains bonding

✔︎ Flue guard and flue gas analyser reading

✔︎ Condense trap, pipework, burner seals and electrodes

Servicing work:

✔︎ Clean burners, injectors and flue ways

✔︎ Check pilot flame and burner pressure (adjust if required)

✔︎ Operating and high-limit thermostats, flue flow and spillage checks

✔︎ Door seals, flue guard, high and low-level ventilation

Every service is carried out in line with the manufacturer's instructions for your specific boiler, using genuine parts.
