t is fair to say that for a lot of homeowners, their first priority during warm late spring and early summer days is unlikely to be their boiler, but this makes it the perfect time to make sure that you avoid any emergency callouts in winter.
Depending on whether you have a combi boiler or not, many people are exploring their options when it comes to energy-saving settings or even turning their boilers off, but the best way they can save is to ensure they book their annual service over the summer.
The first and most obvious reason is that it saves you time, money and stress by booking your appointment in summer.
Everyone needs a service at some point in the year, and by avoiding the time when everyone turns their boilers on, you typically pay less, get the day and time you want and have far less to worry about when it comes time for your boiler to come alive.
It is far cheaper than an emergency call-out, which by definition necessitates expensive repairs during a time when a lot of people are making calls to any emergency gas-safe engineer who is available.
By contrast, summer is typically more of an installation season for heating engineers, where they are focused on fitting new boilers and servicing similarly proactive homeowners rather than emergency repairs.
As well as the availability of engineers, it also means that you are far less likely to be affected by potential parts shortages, as not only is it more likely that parts will be available when you need them, but if they need to be ordered, it will not be as disruptive as it would be in winter.
It also allows for an engineer to diagnose and repair potential issues long before they could become a serious issue, giving you peace of mind going forward and ensuring your boiler will last as long as possible.
