An annual boiler service is an important part of the maintenance. To ensure your boiler is safe and efficient, it should be serviced by a Gas Safe engineer every year. Keeping your heating costs as low as possible
Alpha gas boilers require that you find a Gas Safe registered engineer. This means that they are legally permitted to work with gas appliances. Check the Gas Safe Register website to verify that an engineer has been registered. You should also ask for their Gas Safe ID card whenever they visit your boiler to service it.
An Alpha boiler service should take no more than 30 minutes if the engineer does a good job. However, this can vary depending on the type of boiler and whether they find any faults or issues with the central heating system.
What is the cost of an Alpha Boiler Service?
An emergency Alpha boiler service will likely cost you between £60 and £120, but it all depends on where you live, the model of your boiler, its age, and the engineer who does the work. The price should be the same whether you have an Alpha combi boiler, system boiler or regular boiler.
It is possible to save money by having your boiler service done in the summer, as engineers are less busy. You can also have any problems addressed before winter arrives, which will give you the peace of mind that your boiler is not going to break down. No one wants an unexpected boiler repair in the middle of winter. The engineer will find faults and you will be responsible for paying the repair charge.
Do you need a Central Heating Service or an Alpha Gas Boiler?
Alpha boiler problems can be very frustrating. We recommend that customers service their Alpha boilers every year in order to decrease the chance of a catastrophic failure.
We recommend calling the National Grid if you smell gas coming out of your boiler. Before you call our Gas Safe engineers, get advice on Alpha Boiler Service.
