There are many more breakdowns in the winter months than in the summer, and therefore, engineers tend not to be as busy with household appointments during the summertime.

Cost savings are so much more attainable with a summer boiler service. Many heating companies offer discounts to their customers in the warmer months as it encourages more services and allows for a steady workstream.

The cold weather will have you relying greatly on your central heating system. Due to it being primarily turned off in the summer, many problems may build and occur in the winter when you first switch it on.

Servicing in the winter will ensure your boiler is in good condition, ready for the cold.

You'll be able to choose freely what dates and times suit your schedule the most as heating engineers aren't as busy during the summer.

If your professional discovers any issues on the day of the appointment, they may be able to fix them there and then, unlike in the late autumn and winter. 

Paying for a boiler service during Christmas time or the New Year isn't ideal. There's already so much to worry about; if you celebrate, you'll be stressing about the perfect presents to buy, the dinner to purchase and plan, alongside additional decorations to spruce up the home!

A boiler service during the winter is increasingly more expensive due to the busy nature of the season. The best way to reduce the costs and enjoy Christmas free of central heating expenses is to have it adequately serviced in the summer.

The summer is slap-bang in the middle of the year, so instead of having it serviced in February and needing to go through the process again later in the year. Try to hoot for an appointment in July or August to even it out; that way, you'll only require one maintenance service a year. 

You use your boiler a great deal less in the summertime; the weather is much warmer, especially during heatwaves, and there is simply no need to utilise it. You don't need your boiler to be in its top-tier condition during the spring/summer months, so naturally, this is the best time to take care of it.

During the UK late autumn and early winter, the winter grows increasingly cold, and your central heating will be being turned off and on from the morning until late at night, when we recommend you turn it off to save costs and energy.

A maintenance service with a qualified, gas safe registered engineer is more suitable for surviving the winter without disturbing your gas or oil boilers. Your heating engineer will have plenty of time in their schedule to carry out all the necessary inspections and tests that would be much more challenging during the winter.

Any gas boiler engineer will tell you that the general public tends to utilise central heating in their homes during late autumn and the early winter when the weather is becoming more bitter and icy cold.

The likelihood of issues with gas appliances, pipework and boilers during these seasons is incredibly high, as they are used habitually throughout company properties and households across the country.

Engineers work schedules become relatively crammed with appointments here, there and everywhere, so getting your annual service over and done with during the summer, when engineers are more flexible, is the most appropriate choice to help you beat the rush. 

When having your boiler turned off during a service can help prevent future problems. If you react to the situation when your boiler is switched on, the service costs will increase dramatically, as the job is slightly harder to complete.

Quality service in the summertime will give you plenty of peace of mind that your gas or oil boiler will be in the best possible condition, ready for the winter. Detecting issues early before they get worse or before they disturb a potentially cosy household in the colder months will put you at ease.

If worst comes to worst, and you require a brand new boiler for the home, you won't be under significant pressure to garner the money you need throughout June, July, and August.

Get your boiler serviced many months earlier; that way, you know that your boiler will fire up immediately when you begin switching on between September-December for more long-term use.

It's great to remember that proactive maintenance and care services will be far less stressful and cheaper than an emergency call for a boiler engineer during the coldest parts of the year. It will be even more so if you require a brand new boiler during that time, as the Christmas/Holiday period tends to be expensive as it is!
