Boiler Services

The average lifespan of a boiler is between 10 and 15 years. However, if installed by a professional, configured correctly and kept regularly serviced, it could last you up to 22 years and save you money in the long run. Carters Plumbing and Heating are boiler experts in Chichester and can install, service, fault-find and repair most boilers.

Boiler Installation

If you're looking to upgrade to a more efficient boiler, replace a faulty one or install one in a brand new house, we can help. Whether you're looking for a combi, heat only or system boiler, we can fit any type to suit your requirements, whether it's powered by mains gas, LPG, oil or electric.

Boiler Servicing

A faulty boiler can be extremely dangerous and it is therefore essential to have it serviced once a year to check that it's working safely and efficiently. See the checklist below for what's covered in a standard annual service.

Please note we do not undertake servicing on oil or electric boilers.

Boiler Repairs

As efficient as modern boilers are, one day something will wear out and stop working. If you've lost your ignition, have a noisy fan or pump, lost pressure or it’s simply not working, we can diagnose the problem and fix it for you.

Landlords’ Certificates

If you're a landlord you have a legal obligation to protect your tenants by having any gas appliance in the property properly tested by a Gas Safe engineer. We are fully qualified to undertake these checks and provide you with the appropriate certificate.

Boiler Service Checklist

  • A visual check to ensure your boiler still meets current standards
  • Fire up the boiler to identify any faults
  • Casing removed to check all main components including heat exchanger, spark/sensor probe, main injector, heat exchanger
