If your home or business uses LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) for heating and hot water, keeping your boiler properly maintained is vital. LPG boilers operate under pressure and require specialist knowledge to ensure they’re running safely and efficiently.

At Lucas Plumbing & Heating Ltd, our Gas Safe and OFTEC-registered engineers offer expert LPG boiler servicing across Reading, Wokingham, and surrounding areas. Whether you're a rural homeowner or managing a commercial site off the mains gas grid, we help you stay warm, compliant, and in control of your energy bills.

What’s Involved in an LPG Boiler Service?

A full LPG boiler service from Lucas Plumbing & Heating includes:

• Visual inspection of the boiler, flue, and ventilation
• Check for gas leaks or pressure issues
• Burner and combustion analysis
• Cleaning of key components (heat exchanger, burner, condensate trap)
• Testing boiler controls and thermostat calibration
• Inspection of LPG storage and supply pipework (where accessible)
• Service record and safety certificate

We follow manufacturer service schedules to keep your warranty valid and ensure the system performs as it should.

LPG Safety: Why It’s Non-Negotiable

Unlike natural gas, LPG is stored in tanks or bottles, making system integrity and ventilation critical. A neglected LPG boiler poses serious risks:

• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• LPG leaks, which are highly flammable
• System inefficiency, causing higher fuel use and costs
• Invalidated home insurance if not regularly maintained

By scheduling an annual service, you’re protecting your property, your family, and your heating investment.

Can Servicing Save You Money? Absolutely!

A clean and well-calibrated LPG boiler burns fuel more efficiently. During your service, we’ll make sure:

• There’s no soot or scale build-up
• The burner is operating at optimal efficiency
• Combustion ratios are safe and tuned
• Controls are operating correctly, reducing unnecessary firing

A serviced boiler can cut fuel usage by up to 10%, especially in colder months when demand is high.
