Boiler engineers in Essex: Homeowners vs Renters

Homeowners

You’re responsible for booking regular boiler servicing and arranging any repairs. Most warranties also require an annual boiler check, so keep those records safe. If you’re selling your home, up-to-date servicing history can be a real plus.

Renters

Your landlord is responsible for annual gas safety checks and boiler servicing. But if your heating breaks down, report it to your letting agent or landlord as soon as possible. For emergencies, they may use their preferred gas engineer, so always check before booking your own.
