The Importance of a Full Strip Down Service

Keeping your boiler running smoothly and efficiently is crucial for a warm and comfortable home.

But did you know that a basic service might not be enough, especially for boilers over 5 years old? Before completing work for any new customers we always ask if their boiler has had a full strip down service. More often than not we find the answer is no. This in-depth cleaning goes beyond the standard boiler service and offers significant benefits for your boiler’s health.

Why is a full strip down service important?

As your boiler ages, sediment and debris can build up inside. A strip down service thoroughly cleans these internal components, ensuring optimal performance in several ways.

Benefits of a full strip down service

Extended boiler lifespan

By removing built-up material, a deep clean prevents wear and tear on internal components, ultimately extending the lifespan of your boiler.

Improved efficiency

Clean internal components allow for better heat transfer. This means your boiler works less to produce the same amount of heat, maximising it’s efficiency and potentially lowering your energy bills.

Reduced risk of breakdowns

A strip down service allows our qualified engineers to identify and address minor issues before they escalate into major problems. This proactive approach minimises the risk of sudden breakdowns, saving you from unexpected repair costs and the inconvenience of a cold home.

Safer operation

A thorough cleaning ensures proper gas flow and combustion. This minimises the risk of malfunction and potential safety hazards like carbon monoxide leaks.

Manufacturer recommendations

Most boiler manufacturers recommend a full strip down service at least once every 5 years. This timeframe ensures optimal performance and longevity for your boiler.
