Question 1

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by several years. An annual service typically takes around 30-45 minutes and includes safety checks, efficiency testing and a visual inspection of key components.

Question 2

What areas do you cover from Colne?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Colne (BB8) and cover Burnley and the Pendle area, plus surrounding towns and villages within around 10 miles, including Trawden, Barnoldswick, Nelson, Barrowford, Foulridge and Skipton. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call and we will let you know.

Question 3

I have just moved into a property in Little Harwood with a gas fire I have never used, is it safe?

Accepted Answer

It is worth having any gas fire checked before first use if you do not know its service history, particularly in an older Little Harwood property. We can carry out a full safety check and service so you can use it with confidence.

Question 4

Do older gas fires in Little Harwood need servicing more often than modern ones?

Accepted Answer

The recommended interval is the same, once a year, regardless of age, though older fires in older Little Harwood properties are more likely to show wear that needs attention. Annual servicing is what catches that wear early, whatever the age of the fire.

Question 5

Which boiler brands do you install and recommend?

Accepted Answer

As a Baxi Approved Installer, we specialise in Baxi boilers and can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Baxi produce highly reliable, energy-efficient boilers with excellent value for money. We can also install other leading brands such as Worcester Bosch and Vaillant if required, and will recommend the best boiler for your home based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget rather than pushing a single brand.

Question 6

What happens if my gas fire fails its service check?

Accepted Answer

We explain honestly what was found, what it means for the safety of the fire, and what your options are. There is no pressure to agree to work on the spot, and any further repair is quoted separately with a fixed, upfront price.

Question 7

Will you clean my gas fire as part of the service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the safety checks are complete, we clean and adjust the fire as needed so it is burning safely and efficiently. A cleanly running fire is safer and also looks and performs the way it was meant to.

Question 8

What are the warning signs my gas fire needs attention?

Accepted Answer

A yellow or orange flame instead of blue, soot or black marks around the fire surround, an unusual smell when the fire is running, or a pilot light that will not stay lit are all signs your gas fire needs checking promptly by a Gas Safe engineer.

Question 9

Can a gas fire be dangerous if it is not serviced?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An unserviced gas fire can develop issues with incomplete combustion or ventilation that pose a genuine safety risk, including carbon monoxide risk. Annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer is the safest approach for any gas fire.

Question 10

How much can I save by upgrading to a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from an old, inefficient boiler to a modern A-rated condensing boiler can save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills, depending on your current boiler's age and efficiency. We will give you an honest estimate of the likely savings for your specific property during a free survey, rather than a generic figure.
