We tend to take heating and hot water for granted and don't give our boiler a second thought until it breaks down.
Here are the top reasons to get your annual boiler service.

Specialists in the installation of cast iron radiators as well as all standard radiator styles.
As standard we supply the compact convector radiator which is one of the most energy efficient designs on the market.
With straight lines and quality finishing, the Compact radiator is a sleek asset to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
The radiator is hardwearing because of its smooth and solid scratch resistant coating, and easy to clean.
We also provide the option to select the softline model at no additional cost, this comes with a 15 year guarantee as standard.
Over time, central heating water accumulates harmful dirt and debris, the mix of water and oxygen causes metallic sludge to form and without proper care, over time this can destroy your boiler, pipework and radiators.
Contaminated water leads to a loss of radiator heat, increased system noise, poor circulation and potentially system failures.
All of these factors mean higher gas bills and a greater chance of a boiler breakdown.
In this situation, power flushing or power cleansing is the most effective way of cleaning a dirty system in order to restore it to optimum operation and reduce your home heating bills.
As well as keeping you warm, your gas fire adds a cosy focal point to any room so when it breaks down you need an Edinburgh gas engineer who can help fix it quickly.
Our heating engineers are highly experienced and familiar with repairing a vast range of gas fires.
They'll quickly identify any faults and rectify them for you.
If this can't be done at the first visit, we'll arrange to come back and fit any parts required.
Of course it's better to prevent a breakdown in the first place which is why it's so important to have your gas fire serviced annually.

We are very pleased with the new boiler, and impressed with how smoothly the whole process has gone. We received fast responses to our emails, and in a business like manner. They answered our queries and were pleasant and helpful. Brian the engineer was very efficient and organised. He was polite and friendly and was a clean, tidy worker. He arrived on time on both days.

I’ve just had my boiler and 4 radiators replaced. From my initial phone call right through to completion of the installation, everyone I’ve spoken too has been friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The installers even tolerated their work being inspected by my dog every 5 minutes!!
A great company that really does put the customer first.
I highly recommend them!!

Really happy with our new boiler that was installed recently by the Scott Findlay team. All the engineers were very professional and knowledgeable when I asked random plumbing and heating questions. I liked the text message to advise when engineers were arriving, who arrived on time both days and who were a delight to talk to.
I would highly recommend this local Edinburgh company, not only are their prices competitive and fair, they employ quality engineers who know their stuff.
Thanks Scott Findlay Ltd.
