thanks you, do you know how often it should be done? i have been here five years and it has never been done in that time, although i moved in when the house was newly built. would that make a difference to when it needs serviced?

YOu should have your gas appliances serviced every year and recieve a copy of the certificate too.

OFCH? Even it's it's not gas, in rental properly, I'm fairly sure the servicing should be done at regular intervals to comply with legislation

Your landlord is responsible, and they should be ideally serviced annually.

Just checked - should be checked annually if the property is rented
