WITH SUMMER NOW in full swing, the dreary winter months should be far from your mind.
Our thoughts are occupied with long evenings, bright mornings and the possibility that it won’t rain for a week straight. The dark, damp and drab winter nights are on the horizon, but not for a while.
Thinking of the freezing months ahead is enough to give us shivers down our spine in July. However, if you do want to make winter that little bit easier, there is something you can do.
Servicing your boiler, whilst not as fun as checking out holiday destinations, is something you can do to ease the winter angst. Summer doesn’t last forever, and getting ahead of the curve with a summer service will ensure you can soak up the summer rays from start to finish without any nagging worries.
Don’t just take our advice on it – the experts agree too. SEAI advises that summertime is the ideal time to service your boiler and can save you at least 5%* on heating costs later in the year.
Getting your boiler serviced is an annual job for all homes. Boilers need regular servicing to keep them in good health and extend their lifespan.
Not only is it important for keeping them functional, but a service boosts efficiency, which in turn reduces energy consumption. This efficiency all adds up to benefit those who commit to a yearly check-up.
There’s also the question of warranties. Depending on the manufacturer’s requirements, you might also need to maintain a regular service schedule to keep your warranty intact.
Crucially, however, replacing a faulty boiler is a lot more expensive than the cost of regular servicing, so it’s really in your best interests to get it sorted preemptively.
Bord Gáis Energy is offering a 20% discount off the price of a boiler service this summer, so you’ve really no excuse not to. As an extra incentive (as if you need one), all customers who book a service will be entered into a draw to win €5,000 off a solar PV installation.
Bord Gáis Energy has been providing Irish consumers with energy since 1976. They can offer vetted, highly trained and field tested RGII-certified engineers to carry out the servicing. The service consists of 19 separate checks and tests, ensuring no stone is unturned.
We recommend a professional boiler service once a year,” said Bord Gáis Energy Services Channel Manager Leo Stafford.
“The gas boiler in an average Irish home produces roughly 11,000 kWh every year, which means it can really benefit from the efficiency boost it’ll get from a service. Our engineers check safety too and ensure no parts have worn. It’s really the best way to ensure your heating system is at its most efficient so you’re not overspending on energy,” he added.
They’re also experts when it comes to recommending smart and sustainable products that will keep your home warm and cosy. From Solar PV and heat pumps to EV charging points, you can expect expert advice from the team of registered professionals to answer any queries you might have.
