Autumn is one of the busiest times of year for landlords, with tenants preparing for colder weather and properties needing seasonal maintenance. Among the most critical tasks on your autumn checklist should be your landlord boiler check. At Forte Heating Services, we support landlords across Farnham, Surrey, and Hampshire by ensuring their heating systems are safe, efficient, and legally compliant ahead of winter.

Here’s why autumn is the perfect time to act, and why skipping a boiler check could cost you more than you think.

 

Legal Obligations You Can’t Ignore

As a landlord, it’s your legal duty to ensure all gas appliances, including boilers, are inspected every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You must also provide tenants with a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12). Failing to do so can result in hefty fines, insurance issues, or even legal action.

 

Keep Your Tenants Safe and Warm

Autumn is the calm before the storm; temperatures are dropping, but the full force of winter hasn’t hit yet. Now is the perfect time to ensure your tenants’ heating and hot water systems are fully functional. A landlord boiler check helps detect potential faults before they escalate into dangerous problems, such as carbon monoxide leaks or system failures.

 

Avoid Emergency Repairs

A last-minute boiler breakdown in December isn’t just stressful, it’s expensive. Scheduling your check in October means issues can be resolved in good time, giving you peace of mind and reducing the likelihood of urgent repairs when engineers are in high demand.

 

Maintain Efficiency and Save on Bills

A well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently, which keeps energy bills lower, a benefit for both you and your tenants. An autumn check also supports your property’s energy performance rating, which is now more important than ever when it comes to letting laws and tenant appeal.
