Boiler Engineer-Repair to gas boiler
Landlords are responsible for the servicing and safety checks on their rental property. There are strict guidelines that they must adhere to and all boilers have to have a minimum of 92% efficiency in accordance with the Boiler Plus legislation.

When boilers are old and start to go wrong they are not always viable for repair. Tenants cannot be left without heating and hot water for long periods of time as this could lead to health implications. There are many makes and models of boilers and going with the cheapest option for a rental property is not always the best option. The Worcester 2000 model from Worcester Bosch offers the same high-quality but without any extras so keeps the costs relatively low. When considering a new boiler it is always important to consider the aftercare. The tenant will also be given the reassurance they have a good quality boiler.

Winter Warmth
A good quality boiler could also increase the interest in the rental property and in the longterm save the landlord money.

Heating companies are always in high demand in the winter months due to boiler breakdowns. When considering to replace a boiler a big saving can be made if the installation is carried out in the summer months. Therefore if a lot of maintenance is needed on the boiler it’s always best to replace the boiler in the summer months before it breaks down completely in the winter especially if you own more than one rental property.
