Consequence of an unserviced boiler
jordan laird
Recently called out to investigate a scorch mark on a boiler casing. On removal of the casing we found the electrode inspection glass broken which caused a mini fire within the boiler, burning the main components. This boiler had not been serviced since installation 13 years ago. Our customers were lucky to be on hand to quickly isolate the boiler. A new Worcester Bosch boiler with a 12 year guarantee has now been installed. This reiterates the importance of carrying out an annual boiler service which includes checking electrodes, seals, working pressures & analyser checks etc.
