Question 1

How often should a boiler be serviced in Somerset?

Accepted Answer

Most boiler manufacturers recommend an annual service to maintain efficiency, warranty validity and safety. For properties in Somerset with hard water areas, annual servicing is particularly important as scale build-up can reduce efficiency and lead to costly repairs. On Tap Plumbing and Gas can carry out a full service on any make or model.

Question 2

What does a boiler service include?

Accepted Answer

A standard boiler service by On Tap Plumbing and Gas includes a visual inspection of the boiler and flue, checking gas pressure and flow, testing controls and safety devices, cleaning the burner and heat exchanger, checking for corrosion or leaks, and issuing a CP12-compatible service record for your records.

Question 3

How long does a boiler service take in Taunton?

Accepted Answer

A routine boiler service typically takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on the boiler make, model and condition. If the engineer identifies a fault or component requiring replacement during the service, additional time may be needed. We will always advise you before carrying out any repair work.

Question 4

Do I need a boiler service if my boiler seems to be working fine?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many boiler faults develop gradually and a faulty boiler can appear to work normally while operating unsafely or inefficiently. Regular servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer like On Tap Plumbing and Gas catches potential problems early, before they become costly breakdowns or, in the case of carbon monoxide leaks, safety hazards.

Question 5

How much does a boiler service cost in Taunton?

Accepted Answer

Boiler service costs in the Taunton and Somerset area typically range from 60 to 120 pounds depending on the boiler type and condition. On Tap Plumbing and Gas provides a fixed price before any work begins. Call 07522 094659 for a specific quote for your boiler make and model.

Question 6

Can you service a boiler that has not been serviced for several years?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On Tap Plumbing and Gas can service boilers regardless of when they were last maintained. A boiler that has been without a service for several years may need additional attention, and we will advise you honestly if any repairs or parts are required. We will never carry out work without your agreement first.

Question 7

Do you issue a service record after the boiler service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After every boiler service, On Tap Plumbing and Gas provides a written service record confirming the date, engineer details and work carried out. This record is important for maintaining manufacturer warranties and for landlord compliance in rental properties across Somerset.

Question 8

Can On Tap service my boiler if it is still under manufacturer warranty?
