When was the last time you had your gas appliances serviced? Many owners of gas fires and heaters, gas ovens and hobs, and gas hot water heaters, start with great intentions when their appliance is new. As time passes, it’s not uncommon to forget to book a service or postpone it because you’re too busy or you don’t want the cost.
If you haven’t had your appliance serviced recently; why not book a service today? Here’s our list of 10 simple reasons why you should take care of your gas appliances with a regular service.
Would you like to know how regularly to service your gas appliances? Read our blog about How and When to Service your Gas Appliances.
1. Protect your safety with a regular service.
Gas appliances are safe when they’re well looked after and all their parts are in working order. Failing to maintain a gas appliance could create a safety issue if a part fails or your appliance stops working properly. Regular maintenance helps prevent gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and potential explosions, ensuring the safety of your household.
2. Your appliance will work more efficiently if it’s well maintained.
Just like servicing your car ensures it’s performing at its best: a gas appliance performs better if it’s regularly serviced too. Well-maintained gas appliances run more efficiently: reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.
3. Your gas appliance will last longer if it’s regularly serviced.
Routine maintenance extends the lifespan of your gas appliances, saving you money on early replacements. A service might identify a part that needs to be replaced or repaired which is a minor cost compared to replacing your whole appliance if that small problem escalates into a bigger issue.
4. Get the best performance from your gas appliance by keeping it maintained.
Regular check-ups ensure your appliances perform at their best, providing consistent heat and functionality.
5. Book a service and keep your gas appliance compliant.
Many warranties on gas appliances require regular maintenance in order to allow you to claim on the warranty. In addition some insurers require your gas appliances to be regularly serviced as a condition of their insurance policies. If you’re unsure, check with your supplier or insurance provider.
6. Servicing your gas appliance could actually save you money.
As well as ensuring your gas appliance is running properly and therefore more efficient in its use of energy, regular maintenance is an opportunity to spot small problems and correct them before they become bigger ones. A small part is much more cost effective than a bigger repair.
7. Manage your impact on the environment with regular servicing.
Gas appliances are traditionally very clean in their operation and modern appliances are designed to be as energy efficient as possible. To protect the energy efficiency of your appliance and keep emissions to a minimum it’s important to make sure your appliance is working at its best. You can do this by following the manufacturer’s guidelines, and booking in a regular service.
8. Your gas appliance is more reliable if it’s taken care of.
No one wants to have to survive without their cooker or heater or without hot water. Getting your gas appliance regularly serviced reduces the chances of it failing on you. Smaller issues tend to be quicker and easier to fix, reducing the risk of time without the appliance you rely upon.
9. Don’t worry about your gas appliances – get them serviced.
If you’re likely to lie awake at night worrying about life without hot water; getting your appliances serviced is a great idea to give you peace of mind. Knowing your gas appliances are regularly serviced and taken care of means one less thing to worry about. Book your service today.
10. Protect the resale value of your gas appliances
You’re probably not planning to sell your hot water heater but what happens if you decide to sell your house? Having a regular service record for your gas appliances is a great way to avoid any issues when you put your property on the market: you can easily reassure potential buyers that your chattels are in good working order.
