What is included in a boiler service?
A service usually involves checks of safety, pressure and key components. The Heating Engineer will confirm what is included and whether any parts need attention. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
What is an EICR and is it needed for heating work?
