Boiler Installation
With the lifespan of a boiler averaging between 10/15 years, you can be sure a time will come to upgrade your existing boiler. Wherever you live in the UK, our network of approved engineers can help. GreenLight can professionally install your brand new boiler for a competitive price.
Each boiler we install is rated A for efficiency and will burn the minimum amount of fuel possible. Depending on the rating of your existing boiler, when you upgrade to a new A-rated model, you could save hundreds of pounds on your annual heating bills.
Annual Boiler Service
Annual boiler servicing is an important part of maintaining your boiler and heating system.
Annual boiler service includes:
- Checking the condition and performance of your boiler to ensure it is operating at its peak performance.
- Identifying faults at an early stage and reduce the risk of your boiler breaking down unexpectedly.
- Ensure your boiler is running as efficiently as possible which may reduce your bills.
- Identify if the boiler is leaking Carbon Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide is a highly toxic, poisonous gas which is difficult to detect as it is odourless, colourless and tasteless. Contact with the gas can be deadly or lead to severe long-term health problems.
- Gas Safe (the official body for gas safety in the UK) and OFTEC (the UK body for the oil heating industry) recommend that boilers should be serviced at least once a year.
Boiler Repairs
Once a year it is crucial to service your boiler so that any underlying faults can be picked up and addressed. A service will ensure your boiler is safe to use and will maintain your manufacturer’s warranty, where applicable.
When you book your annual service with GreenLight, our Gas Safe registered engineers will visit your home at a time that is convenient for your schedule. They will inspect your boiler and explain their findings, along with any necessary next steps. Your boiler controls will be tested, along with the pressure settings, safety devices, flues and surrounding pipework.
Warning Signs Your Boiler Need Servicing
Inefficiencies with your boiler can be identified through various faults which can include:
- A yellow flame, rather than blue.
- Pressure falls below the recommended setting of 1-1.5 bar.
- Pilot light keeps going off.
- Boiler refills or overheats often.
- Stains/smoke marks appearing on or around the appliance.
- Hot water is not as hot as it should be or the flow is low.

It is a good idea to call a Gas Safe registered engineer to your property every 12 months.
