How often should I have my boiler serviced?
Boilers should be serviced annually by a qualified professional. This will help to prevent potential issues from occurring and prolong the lifespan of your boiler.
How can using energy-efficient lighting help me be more eco-friendly and save money?
Using energy-efficient lighting, such as LED bulbs, can reduce the amount of energy needed to light your home and save you money on your energy bills. LED bulbs are more expensive upfront but last longer than traditional bulbs, which can save you money in the long run.
How often should I have my gas boiler serviced?
You should have your gas boiler serviced at least once a year to ensure it’s functioning properly and to prevent potential breakdowns. Regular maintenance can also help extend the life of your boiler.
What warranties come with solar panel installations?
Warranties for solar panels and their components can vary; panels usually come with a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects and performance guarantees, while inverters typically have a 5-10 year warranty. Labour might be covered for shorter periods, so check with your installer.
Can any electrician perform PAT testing, or do they need special certification?
While any qualified electrician can technically perform PAT testing, it is advisable to use an electrician who has specific training and equipment for PAT testing. Certifications in PAT testing, such as the City & Guilds 2377, indicate that the electrician has received training focused on the specific requirements and procedures of PAT testing.
Do I need a Gas Safety Certificate to sell my house?
When you sell your house, you are not required by law to get a gas safety certificate. However, if your boiler is gas, a gas safety certificate—which you should have obtained when your boiler was last serviced—is advised for your own safety.

How can I save money on cleaning products while also being eco-friendly?

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.

No, a boiler service is not the same as a gas safety check. While both are important, a gas safety check is a basic check of the gas appliances in your home to ensure they are safe to use.

Think of a boiler service and a safety check as the equivalent of a service and MOT on your vehicle.
