What a Boiler Efficiency Check covers
This service focuses on how effectively your boiler is operating, alongside the core safety and function checks needed to interpret performance accurately.
- Visual inspection of the boiler, pipework and key components
- Checks for safe operation of the flue and ventilation
- Operating pressure and temperature checks
- Combustion analysis (where applicable) to assess burn quality and efficiency
- Inspection of burners, heat exchanger and seals, with cleaning where required
- Confirmation that controls and safety cut-outs work correctly
- Identification of wear, leaks, corrosion or overheating risks
- Straightforward feedback on findings and recommended next steps
When this service is most useful
Book a boiler efficiency check if you want to reduce running costs, keep tenants comfortable, or avoid disruption from unexpected faults. It is also a sensible choice if your bills have risen, your boiler is short-cycling, rooms heat unevenly, or the boiler is noisier than usual.
What happens during the visit
You will be asked about any symptoms and how you use heating and hot water. The engineer will inspect the boiler, run targeted tests, take readings and confirm correct operation. For gas or oil appliances, testing is completed by an appropriately qualified engineer.
After the check
You will receive clear advice on adjustments, repairs or maintenance that could improve efficiency and reliability. If parts are worn or performance is poor, you can choose whether to proceed with remedial work, request a quote, or plan follow-up servicing. If a safety issue is identified, you will be advised on the safest next step before continued use.
