Efficiency may also wane over time, and units left for too long may cost thousands of people to repair.
Experts recommend people not wait to get their boiler looked at and act preemptively to save on efficiency and repairs in 2022.
Bob Kerr, Gas Services Director at Gas Safe Register, told Express.co.uk that most people anticipate a “financial squeeze” over the next year.
He urged people to focus on “prevention” rather than a “cure”, with consumers best served by keeping their bases covered.
They may find they can reduce prices and avoid pricey repair bills costing more than twice a regular servicing.
Mr Kerr told Express.co.uk: “Boilers are among one of the most important gas appliances within our homes, as they keep us warm when most needed – so it’s important that we stay on top of their upkeep.
