Having a well-maintained electric boiler is key to keeping your home warm and comfortable, especially in colder climates such as those in the UK.

Along with being efficient and reliable, electric boilers can lower your carbon footprint (once you ensure it is powered through green energy - whether from a green energy provider or on-site green energy like solar power).

Of course, it’s essential that you hire a qualified electric boiler servicer (i.e. a qualified electrician) to have your electric boiler serviced and evaluated for its safety and functionality.

Electric boiler servicing is not only essential for the safety of you and others in your home but to prolong the longevity of the boiler. It will also likely be required to keep your warranty valid if applicable. Without further ado, let’s look at how you can find local electricians to service your electric boiler!

Understanding Your Electric Boiler Servicing Needs

For starters, you’ll want to understand what you need from an electric boiler servicing. Of course, how often an electric boiler will be serviced should be stated by the manufacturer. In general, it is advised that you have an electric boiler serviced once a year.

Failure to have it serviced is unsafe since you won’t know if there are hazards present that may worsen with time. Whether or not it is a legal requirement (contact your local council if unsure what applies in your case), having an electric boiler service is key for safety and practical reasons. Also, regardless, you still have a legal requirement to ensure that your home’s electrics are safe.

Of course, even if it hasn’t been a year since your last electric boiler servicing, you may still need one sooner than anticipated if you notice issues with your electric boiler.

For example, you may have become aware of lowered efficiency, which could be reflected in higher bills (that cannot be explained otherwise). Beyond that, issues suggesting that an electric boiler servicing is needed sooner can include strange noises and error messages.

Having your boiler serviced at least once a year is crucial to prolonging the lifespan of your boiler while maintaining its efficiency and, above all else, safety. Along with limiting hazards, a well-maintained electric boiler can save you money and hassle in the long term!

Finding a Tradesperson Through MyJobQuote’s Online Directories

There are a few ways you can use MyJobQuote to find skilled tradespeople to service an electric boiler near you. For one, there’s the option of utilising our online electrician directory. Here, you can find local electricians who, with their qualifications, can service your electric boiler.

When looking at the list of electricians near you, you can then look at their ratings, reviews and images showcasing their prior work. All of this information can then, in turn, make it easy to make an informed choice, all from the convenience of a single online space.

Considering the quality of service and customer satisfaction levels of each given electrician can help you figure out who is right for you, particularly when taking their pricing into account.

Verifying Service Provider Credentials

It’s essential that you check an electrician's credentials to ensure they are qualified for the job. You’ll also want to confirm that they have suitable experience, training and any brand-specific knowledge where it may apply.

This applies in general. However, you’ll be glad to know that when you use MyJobQuote to find local electricians (whether with our online directory or our quote form - more on the latter below), all electricians with profiles on our website are verified meticulously by us. So, when you use MyJobQuote to find an electrician near you, you can rest assured you are finding qualified, professional electricians and nothing less!

Either way, though, it’s still a good idea to ask for references from prior clients to get a sense of their reliability and the quality of service provided. Again, the more you know about the electricians you’re considering, the more of an informed choice you can make. On a related note, the power of knowledge can help you find a local electric boiler servicer who offers solid value for money, too!

Engagement and Communication with Service Providers

Throughout the entire process, from first communication to finalisation of servicing, it’s important that you maintain open lines of contact with your preferred electrician so that things run as smoothly as possible.

For one, you’ll want to raise any concerns or questions you have regarding the servicing process, and it’s best to do so early on. This can include specific requirements for your electric boiler when the work takes place, how much it should cost, whether any hidden or potentially added fees might apply and how long the servicing should last.

All in all, engaging clearly from the get-go can result in clarity and help avoid misunderstandings and unexpected headaches along the way.

Utilising MyJobQuote’s Quote Form for Electric Boiler Services

An alternative approach (to our online electrician directory) for finding local professionals is the MyJobQuote quote form.

Our quote form can be used to submit details of the work required before you receive quotes from a range of local qualified electricians. You can then compare each professional based on their quote and other criteria (e.g. their levels of experience and customer ratings).

As with our online electrician directory, the MJQ quote form is a convenient way of deciding who to hire (while evaluating a range of suitable profiles) from a single online place.

Seek Recommendations

Along with using one of our online tools for finding local electricians, you may want to seek recommendations from people in your life, too.

Whether it be friends, family, neighbours or work colleagues, requesting recommendations from those you trust who have previously used electric boiler services can lead to reliable professionals. Of course, it’s still important to ensure you secure referrals for electricians who are actually local if you were to ask for recommendations from someone you trust but who lives a little too far afield.

Understanding Service Terms and Agreements

It’s key that you have a written service agreement or contract done up with the service provider so that all your expectations are met and that unexpected headaches can be minimised/avoided.

You should ensure that this document clearly outlines:

  • Pricing of the electric boiler servicing
  • The scope of the work involved
  • Payment terms (e.g. what payment methods they accept)
  • Any applicable guarantees
  • Any warranties that might apply

A clear and sufficiently detailed agreement that covers all necessary points is important to protect you and the service provider and ultimately can help ensure that all expectations are met.

Finding the right professional to service your electric boiler is crucial from a safety and legal point of view. It also matters that you get your electric boiler serviced each year by a qualified electrician to maintain its efficiency and functionality over time.

In order to do this, it’s important to research and hire a qualified electrician near you and as discussed in this piece today, thankfully, you can do so conveniently using our online electrician directory or the MyJobQuote quote form. So, start your search today to ensure your electric boiler is serviced at the right time and by a qualified, experienced and professional electrician!
