Take Care of Your Boiler!

John-servicing-landscape

As domestic boilers are a fundamental part of homes across the UK, manufacturer of domestic gas boilers Ravenheat is encouraging customers to take care of their boilers by ensuring they have an annual service to extend the operational life; therefore saving homeowners money. The company has even offered a few suggestions on the topic of servicing and boiler health.

Explain the benefits of servicing

One of the easiest ways to talk to your customers about why they should get their boiler serviced, as well as what they should do with it during summer, is to discuss it when you are there for other work. Whether you are reminding them to get their boiler serviced annually before you leave or just having a chat over a cup of tea, make sure you break down the reasons why it is good for them. Of course, that includes lower chances of breakdowns in the winter and a longer serviceable life.

Leave a card

Put the stack of business cards you have to good use and write down the date of a recommended service on the back. That way, the customer has your details and can call you when the date comes around. Alternatively, service reminder stickers on the boiler itself with your contact information on them are another good option.

Use social media to let them know

Social media is a valuable tool to promote your business and services, but it is also a great way to share your knowledge with your customers. Ravenheat use their own social media to share tips with homeowners, like how to defrost their condensate during the winter, which prove to be very popular. A Facebook business page is ideal for sharing advice on why and how often customers should get their boilers serviced and also to recommend they turn on their boiler at least once a month to keep everything in working order.

Let them know about manufacturer FAQs

Like many companies, Ravenheat has a list of frequently asked questions for both installers and homeowners on its website, including advice on why annual servicing is important and how to organise a service. If homeowners are looking for manufacturer advice on what to do, refer them to the FAQs.

 

Over the summer, Ravenheat will be using its own social media channels to share tips and information on the importance of services and boiler health. Engineers are welcome to share their posts to help raise awareness among homeowners.
