    Boiler repairs in Stockport

    Boiler breakdowns 21st April 15A lot of my business comes from customers whose boilers have broken down, and been left with no heating or hot water and are thus looking for a fast repair. They may have conducted an internet search looking for ‘Boiler repairs in Stockport’, or ‘Gas engineers in Stockport’ etc, and then come across my details online.

    By the way, it’s illegal for someone who isn’t Gas Safe registered to even remove the casing from a boiler, let alone repair it, so make sure you ask them if they’re registered, and even ask to see their Gas Safe ID card.

    Most boilers can be repaired fairly easily, assuming the parts, if required, are readily available. Most manufacturers stop supporting certain models after a particular amount of time, ie after such time when it’s no longer profitable for them to manufacture the spare parts because the demand for them is so low. Some repairs are straightforward, and cheap. Others, not so.

    It’s also worth considering that, in the unfortunate event that your boiler decides to go on strike, if you’re facing a potentially hefty repair bill, it actually might be worth cutting your losses and getting a new one installed instead. The reason for this is that when gas fueled boilers were first introduced, they were made of cast iron, were fairly sturdy, and to be honest there wasn’t a lot to go wrong on them. Today’s boilers, although very efficient, and packed full of essential (and very useful) features, simply don’t last as long. Even the best ones that come loaded with a 10 year parts and labour warranty, will probably be heading for the scrap heap in another 15 or 20 years.

    Having said that, if your broken boiler is easily repairable, and is otherwise providing you with trouble free central heating and hot water, it’s definitely worth keeping. If you’re having trouble with your existing boiler, whether a new or recurring problem, do not hesitate to call me on 0161 826 7538 for a ‘no call-out charge’ assessment of the problem.
