Each appointment can vary but for a straightforward boiler service it ‘normally’ takes around one hour. 
 
One of our engineers will visit your home and perform a series of checks on your system. 
 
Visual Inspection – to check the boiler still meets current standards and requirement and look for any corrosion or leaks. They will also visually check the flame in your boiler. 
 
Removal of the boiler casing – they will then check the components to ensure everything is working correctly and then clean the inside of the boiler. These checks should include the heat exchanger, burner, main injector and spark probe. 
 
Flue check – the engineer will ensure there are no obstructions in the flue terminals and that the flue is safely fitted. 
 
Gas pressure check – this will ensure your boiler is working at the correct pressure. 
 
Boiler fired up – this allows the engineer to check for any working faults. 
 
You will then receive a service report, explaining their findings and what they have done. If you have any questions, please do not be afraid to ask the engineers and they will be happy to explain things and advise you accordingly. 
 
If you feel that your boiler is not working as it should, then please do not wait for your annual service – please contact our offices and we can get an engineer to assess it for you.

Power flushing is the process by which the central heating system of a house is flushed clean of rust, sludge and any other debris that may have accumulated. 
 
If you are noticing any of these symptoms, then you may need your system flushing: 
 
- Boiler switching on and off frequently (aka ‘cycling’) 
- Boiler constantly breaking down 
- If you have a combination boiler you may notice that the hot water keeps getting hot and then cold. A non-stable temperature may continue to get worse, until you do not get any hot water at all. 
- Boiler making banging and/or knocking noise 
- Central heating radiators taking a long time to heat up 
- Radiators getting cold spots 
- Radiators not getting very hot when the pipe work is getting hot 
- House always feels cold even when the heating’s on 
- Boiler making a kettle noise (resembles a kettle boiling!) 
- Discoloured water when you bleed the radiators and in some severe cases when you run the tap 
 
If you ignore any of these symptoms and do not contact us then boilers may become so damaged that they’ll be deemed uneconomical to repair, therefore requiring a replacement. 
 
These problems on their own may be able to be rectified without power flushing, however, if you notice more that one at any time then it is probably worth considering a power flush. 
 
We do not book specific appointments to install smoke alarms, however, if you do need a replacement alarm, we can arrange this installation at your service appointment which would be subject to the cost of the parts. These alarms are not maintained by us. 
 
Pre-booked morning appointments are between 9am – 1pm, unfortunately we are unable to provide a specific time due to the nature of the work. 
 
Our engineers can provide you with the paperwork to complete there and then, which will take about 10 minutes, or alternatively they can leave them with you. 
 
In the instance that you do not wish to proceed with your service agreement, please contact the office on 01908 803773 or enquiries@aandagas.com and we can talk you through to the procedure to cancel the agreement.
