At Thermo-Tec Plumbing and Heating, we specialise in professional gas fire servicing across Wokingham, Reading, Woodley, and surrounding areas.
Why Gas Fire Servicing is Important
A gas fire is an essential part of your home heating system, providing warmth during the colder months. However, over time, gas fires can become inefficient or develop faults that may put your safety at risk. Regular servicing ensures that:
Your gas fire is working efficiently, saving you money on energy bills.
Any potential safety hazards (like carbon monoxide leaks) are identified early.
Your gas fire complies with Gas Safe regulations, ensuring peace of mind.
You avoid costly repairs or replacements by catching small problems early.
How Often Should You Service Your Gas Fire?
It’s recommended that you have your gas fire serviced and your boiler serviced at least once a year. Ideally, this should be done before the heating season starts, so your system is in top shape for the colder months. However, if you notice any issues between services (such as strange smells, poor heating, or a flickering flame), it's best to call a professional sooner.
