Have you considered how regular boiler servicing could benefit your home in Watford, St Albans or the surrounding areas? It’s easy to overlook, but a yearly boiler service carried out by a qualified heating engineer can dramatically improve the efficiency, safety, and lifespan of your boiler.

At HTS, we understand how important a reliable heating system is to your daily life. With over 35 years’ combined experience, our trusted heating engineers are proud to deliver thorough and timely boiler servicing.
Whether you're booking a routine service or have a specific issue that needs attention, we’re always happy to help, or if needed, recommend another expert from our team to take a look.
Why Regular Boiler Servicing Matters
Many insurance policies and boiler warranties, whether for domestic or commercial properties, require annual boiler servicing to remain valid. If you rent privately, your landlord is responsible for arranging a yearly check by a Gas Safe registered boiler engineer. These inspections are not just about ticking a box; they are a vital safety measure, ensuring your system runs smoothly and efficiently.
A full boiler service typically costs between £90 and £100. During the visit, a Gas Safe registered heating and boiler engineer will inspect key components, check the boiler casing, and assess whether the connected pipework and flue are operating correctly. If any potential issues are spotted, they can often be resolved before they become serious problems.

The Ideal Time for Boiler Servicing
While you can book a boiler service at any time of year, summer is often the most convenient season. Not only are boiler engineers generally less busy in the warmer months, but servicing your system ahead of winter ensures it's ready to cope when demand is at its peak. This forward planning can prevent the stress of emergency callouts.
At HTS, we encourage customers to think ahead and book their boiler servicing during the quieter summer months. This helps ensure you secure a time that suits you and reduces the risk of last-minute problems just when you need your heating the most.
What Happens if You Don’t Service Your Boiler?
Failing to arrange regular boiler servicing can lead to several issues. Over time, wear and tear can go unnoticed, leading to breakdowns that are often more expensive to fix than a routine service.
A neglected boiler can also operate less efficiently, which may increase your energy bills. Most importantly, without a qualified boiler engineer checking for leaks or faults, there’s a risk of carbon monoxide exposure, a serious health hazard that can be potentially fatal.
Across Watford, Hemel Hempstead, and St Albans, we’ve seen many cases where skipping a simple boiler service has led to emergency repairs and costly callouts that could have been avoided. We would like to stress that, having a carbon monoxide alarm installed is strongly advised for additional safety, but it should never replace the importance of an annual boiler inspection.
