Boiler servicing in Tavistock covers gas boilers only. If you are not sure what fuel your boiler uses, check before you send a request. The paperwork that came with the boiler may say.
A boiler service is a check of a gas boiler, its flue and its controls. It aims to catch faults early and to keep the boiler safe. The Health and Safety Executive advises a service at least once a year. Ask the engineer what the visit includes, because that differs.
