Over the next year, all boilers should ideally see at least one service, and during that time, a skilled engineer will look at your boiler, sometimes other parts of your water system or gas supply and make suggestions.

With steep rises in the price of gas and the prospect of a long winter ahead, it makes sense to check up on the performance of your boiler.
