Every year you should get your gas central heating boiler checked by a CORGI approved installer 
to keep the boiler working safely.
If the boiler is not maintained at all then this could lead to the boiler not functioning correctly and the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning (the silent killer) .
Always use a CORGI approved gas installer then you know your in safe hands, never D.I.Y with gas .

Useful notes

If a central heating system has been fitted correctly, Flushed out  and inhibitor added at installation and topped up if the system has been drained down then the radiators should never go faulty. 
A radiator has no working parts but the water within the radiator can damage (rust) the steel radiator if the water is corrosive.

If you have got damage to the radiators then often the first sign is when a radiator leaks, Cold spots coursed by a sludge build up or constantly having to bleed the radiators. If you have bleed the
radiators and the water is Black then you have a slight problem but if the water is Brown or Orange then you have a major problem and it needs sorting out  before it gets to the stage of a different radiator starting to leaking every few months.

For Power flushing we are found to be cheaper than the big well known heating service company and do the same job using the latest power flushing unit with the one of the best chemical descaling fluids on the market.

All power-flushes are fully guaranteed,

All gas burning appliances need air to burn and to be able to get rid of the burnt gas out of the flue, Most modern boilers are called room sealed (Balance Flue )which means all the air for combustion of the gas is taken from outside through a duct and the fumes from the burnt gas is taken through a
second duct back to outside (usually the flue duct is inside air duct).  Alternatively it is possible to get boilers which are open flued (Not Recommended) these take the air for combustion from an air grill fitted in the room  in which the boiler is located , then the fumes go up the flue which terminates above the roof.
If for any reason the flue gets damaged  or the ventilation grill gets blocked or even if a fault develops within  the boiler itself then poisonous fumes could enter the living space, so open
flue boilers should never be considered when fitting or replacing  a central heating boiler although new boilers do have extra safety devices
Most boilers now are fanned flue and room sealed which is the best and safest option. 

 Most boilers also need extra air to keep them cool especially if fitted in a compartment, 
although some modern boilers do not need any extra cooling air. 
The size and position of ventilation depends on the heat input of the boiler, the type of flue and where the air is coming from

There are a lot of regulations for safety of  the flue and ventilation and if you are in any doubt then consult a CORGI registered installer to check, but as all gas appliances should checked for safety once a year then any faults or potential faults should be picked up then
