Homeowners have been advised to schedule a service for their central heating systems while the weather is still mild.
According to Boilerguide, during the summer, use of boilers and central heating drops by some 80 per cent.
This means that should any problems be identified as part of a
gas boiler service, consumers will have time to save up or have the necessary repairs carried out before they need to increase their usage of the appliance again.
And a qualified engineer may also be able to recommend an energy efficient replacement for an outdated boiler to Britons who wish to go green and benefit from
cheaper gas bills.
David Holmes, founder of Boilerguide, states: "Boilers should be serviced every year so why not get it done when, at the very worst, not having central heating and hot water for a few days matters the least."
Should Britons decide to purchase a greener boiler, the Energy Saving Trust recommends a condensing boiler as being the most energy efficient type.
