Why Servicing Your Heating & Renewable Systems Matters – And Why Gregor Should Be Your First Call

As we enjoy the last few weeks of summer, our thoughts go towards the autumn and the colder months ahead. We know that the cost of heating has been on everyone’s mind for several years now. With larger than normal price increases due to global events, and continued uncertainty, homeowners are always looking for ways to keep warm and the cost down.

Purchasing a new boiler, heat pump, solar thermal system, or solar panels with battery storage is one way of doing this. A new product offers cutting edge technology and greater efficiently, and is a big investment, one you would have spent a while considering.

It’s a big step towards a more efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective home. And with your new product running so smoothly from the outset, it can be tempting to let things run untouched for a few years. Afterall, you don’t want another expense!

We look at this differently, we recommend servicing from the outset – stay with us! Here’s why.

Protect Your Investment

Heating and renewable energy systems are complex, and, like any high-performance equipment, they need regular attention to keep performing at their best. Servicing helps to:

Maintain efficiency – keeping your system in top condition saves energy and lowers running costs.
Prevent breakdowns – spotting small issues early helps avoid unexpected (and expensive) failures later.
Prolong system life – regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your equipment.
Ensure safety – safety checks are vital, particularly for gas appliances, to guard against risks like carbon monoxide.
Keep warranties valid – most manufacturers require annual servicing to maintain the warranty.

How Often Should You Service Your System?

Here’s our recommended schedule:

Boilers – Annually. It’s essential for safety, efficiency, and warranty compliance, especially before winter.
Heat Pumps – Every year. Ensures your system runs efficiently in all seasons.
Solar Thermal Systems – Checked every year to maintain efficiency and prevent costly damage, with a fluid top-up/replacement every three to five years.
Solar PV & Battery Storage – A health check every 1–2 years keeps performance and safety on track.
