Think of a Boiler Servicing appointment like an MOT for your heating system. It’s a vital check-up that ensures your unit is operating efficiently and, more importantly, safely. During a service, we check for carbon monoxide leaks, clean internal components, and identify potential issues before they lead to an expensive Boiler Repair. Furthermore, most manufacturers require an annual service to keep your warranty valid.
If you are a landlord, you are legally required to have a Gas Safety Certificate (also known as a CP12) issued every 12 months for your rental properties. This involves a thorough inspection of all gas appliances and pipework by a Gas Safe engineer to ensure they meet current safety standards. iWarm provides these inspections across our entire service area, including Lincoln and Louth.
If your boiler is more than 10–12 years old, frequently breaking down, or causing your energy bills to skyrocket, it might be time for an upgrade. Modern A-rated boilers are significantly more efficient than older models. Our team provides expert Boiler Installations tailored to your home’s specific demands, helping you save money in the long run.

Over time, sludge and debris (iron oxide) build up in your radiators, making your system work harder and less efficiently. Chemical System Flushing uses high-quality cleaning agents to break down and remove this buildup. Magnacleanse System Flushing is a more advanced process using powerful magnets to strip away the "black sludge" from your system in a single pass. Both services restore heat to cold spots in your radiators and protect your boiler's internal parts.
