Unlike the Landlord Annual Gas Safety Check, a Gas Appliance Safety Service involves a thorough inspection of all gas appliances, pipework, vents, and flues present on a property.
Prices to complete this essential service will vary depending on the type and quantity of appliances – a Gas Appliance Safety Service does not include replacement parts if ever required.
Suppose you have a Gas Appliance Safety Service for cost-effectiveness and ease; an additional charge will include an Annual [Landlord] Gas Safety Check, which means both services will be in line and completed simultaneously.
What is a Gas Boiler Safety Service?
You may think about it as the equivalent of an annual service on your vehicle – can you do away with not having it done?
If you are a Landlord, legislation states that all Gas Appliances must have annual valid Gas Safety Checks performed by a Gas Safe Register Engineer.
Currently, the legislation does not state that you need to have your Gas Boiler & Gas Appliances annually serviced.
However, all manufacturers who supply boilers for the UK market require you to service your Gas Boiler every 12 months to maintain the validity of your Boiler Warranty.
The first Boiler Service must coincide with the date of the original installation.

Could you save lives and money and prevent breakdowns by servicing your Gas Boilers & Gas Appliance annually?
Your car is a perfect example; like your gas boiler, it requires professional and regular servicing to ensure it runs safely and according to government standards and the manufacturer’s specifications.
As a Landlord and homeowner, it is essential to keep track of and maintain affordable/strategic property maintenance expenditures. This exercise must be implemented all year round and during your rental property tenancy term.
Therefore, investing smartly and strategically in servicing your gas boiler & gas appliances could spare you an unforeseen cost and unnecessary aggravation to you and your tenants – peace of mind.
We recommend having your gas boiler & gas appliance serviced according to your annual Gas Safety Check – anniversary date – two birds with one stone.
However, if this is not logistically or financially convenient, Spring or Summer are perfect seasons to get your gas appliances serviced; this will prepare you home or rental property for the Winter period well in advance; we, as Gas Safety Registered Engineers, tend to be less busy during these months = immediate appointments.
Last but not least, a malfunctioning gas boiler or gas appliance can be tremendously dangerous.
