Why is a boiler service so important?

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) recommends a professional gas boiler service once a year in order to “make it run more efficiently, improve safety, and reduce fuel consumption by 10%”.

But a professional boiler service isn’t just an important efficiency boost that can save you up to 10% on your energy costs. It’s also a critical safety check that reduces the risk of breakdown and carbon monoxide emissions. That’s because appliances that burn natural gas can create carbon monoxide if they’re not working properly. Your engineer will check for this.

Bord Gáis Energy is one of the most trusted names in the business. This year alone, Bord Gáis Energy’s engineers have already visited more than 60,000 Irish boilers to carry out their 19-check service and safety check. And no, you don’t need to be a Bord Gáis Energy gas customer to book a service.

What’s included in a professional boiler service?

A professional gas boiler service, like the one you’ll get from Bord Gáis Energy, involves as many as 19 separate checks, which is why it’s essential to ensure your engineer is registered with the Registered Gas Installers (RGI) of Ireland.

These checks include electrical safety tests and checks on components, temperature control, and burner pressure and elements specific to your boiler type. The engineer will also check your carbon monoxide detector. Afterwards, you’ll be given an RGI Compliance Certificate.
