All installations include a 5-year parts and labour warranty, with extended coverage for select models. Our process includes system sizing, compliance checks, and post-installation support to guarantee optimal performance and regulatory adherence.
Gas Boiler Servicing
Annual gas boiler servicing maintains efficiency and warranty validity. Our engineers perform comprehensive checks, including component cleaning, safety device testing, and combustion optimisation. Regular maintenance reduces breakdown risks, lowers energy bills, and extends boiler lifespan while ensuring compliance with safety standards.
