How long should a boiler service take?
A boiler service typically takes around an hour to complete, although this may vary depending on the type of boiler and the complexity of the service.
Do I need an OLEV-approved installer to fit my home EV charger?
To qualify for government incentives like the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), your EV charger must be installed by an OLEV-approved (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) installer. These installers have met specific standards and are authorised to install EV charging points under UK government programs.
What time of year should I service my boiler?
It is recommended to have your boiler serviced in the summer or early autumn months, before your energy requirements start increasing for winter. This reduces the chance of a boiler breakdown when your home needs heating the most.
How do I choose the right installer for my EV charger?
It's recommended to obtain multiple quotes and check online reviews or references for potential installers. Choosing an installer recommended by your charger's manufacturer can also ensure compatibility and adherence to warranty conditions.

How can taking shorter showers help me be more eco-friendly and economical?

Can a gas boiler be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
In most cases, gas boilers can be repaired rather than replaced. However, if the damage is extensive, it may be more cost-effective to replace the boiler altogether. Getting a full assessment with CRS Matrix will give you peace of mind and a plan for future upgrades or replacements. But remember, we are here to provide you the most efficient and affordable course of action.
What are some examples of reusable items I can use to be more eco-friendly and save money?

What warranties come with solar panel installations?

How do I find out when my boiler was last serviced?
Unless you have a written record of services from the previous homeowner, it can be difficult to determine when your boiler was last serviced.
