What to consider before booking
A service is planned maintenance for an appliance that should be operating normally. Tell Aura about any existing fault when booking so the visit can be scoped correctly. A boiler that repeatedly locks out needs diagnosis as well as any routine maintenance.
What a boiler service should examine
The service scope depends on the model and the manufacturer’s procedure. It can include the appliance condition, relevant safety checks, flue and combustion assessment, condensate arrangements and control operation. Cleaning, seals and replacement parts depend on the instructions and findings. Ask what is included for your particular boiler.
Annual servicing and warranty records
Many boiler warranties require annual servicing. Check your own warranty terms and retain the service record, rather than assuming a reminder or invoice alone meets every condition. Book ahead of the due date where possible, especially if the boiler is in a difficult-to-access cupboard.
Service, repair and landlord check are different
An annual service is not a promise that a boiler cannot break down. It also should not be confused with a separately specified landlord gas safety check. If you need rental-property documentation or several gas appliances checked, explain that when booking so the correct scope and qualifications can be confirmed.
Preparing for the appointment
Clear safe access around the boiler and locate the manual or previous records if available. Explain unusual noises, pressure changes, intermittent hot water and any recent work to the heating system. Do not remove covers or dismantle a cupboard yourself if this creates a hazard.
Prices and what to confirm
The price depends on your equipment, access and the work required. Ask Aura to confirm the charge and what it covers before booking.
| Price component | What to ask |
|---|---|
| Routine service | Price depends on the model, number of appliances or units and the specified checks. |
| Access and cleaning | High-level access or deep cleaning can change the scope. |
| Existing faults | Repairs, parts and further diagnosis should be agreed separately. |
