Why Regular Boiler Servicing Matters for Westhoughton Homes

Introduction

Westhoughton, with its mix of historic terraces around Market Street and modern estates like Snydale Park, is home to thousands of families who rely heavily on their boilers. Winters can be harsh, and a boiler breakdown at the wrong time can cause real disruption. Regular servicing is the best way to keep your system running smoothly.

Benefits of Annual Servicing

1. Improved Efficiency – Servicing ensures boilers run at peak performance, reducing wasted energy.
2. Lower Bills – A clean and well-tuned boiler uses less gas.
3. Safety – Gas Safe checks reduce the risk of carbon monoxide leaks.
4. Reliability – Spotting issues early prevents breakdowns.
5. Extended Lifespan – A serviced boiler can last years longer.

Common Problems Found in Westhoughton

• Sludge build-up in older properties.
• Frozen condensate pipes in exposed areas like Chew Moor.
• Failing thermostats in homes with outdated systems.

Local Example

We recently serviced a Worcester Bosch boiler in a semi-detached near Daisy Hill. The homeowner hadn’t booked a service in four years. We found blocked filters and a failing seal. After replacing parts and flushing the system, efficiency improved by 15%.

Conclusion

Servicing saves money, protects families, and keeps homes warm.
