We're using more gas than we should be since we lit our boiler and began using our radiator heat. We think our boiler might need servicing, at the very least.

Plumbing Repair
Everyone knows that sinking feeling you get as you watch a toilet bowl begin to overflow, or your shower drain spouting out water instead of draining it. Plumbing repair problems are enough to send the most placid home owner into a panic. Here are a few tips to conduct emergency plumbing repairs yourself as you wait for the plumber to arrive. The most common home plumbing repair problems have to do with faucet repair. For basic bathroom faucet repair, first turn off the water supply to the faucet, and unscrew the main faucet. Remember to place the components as you remove them in an ordered fashion, so you can place these in the right order when you assemble the faucet back again. If any parts are damaged, get these replaced by taking the removed part to the store so you can get a perfect match.
To unclog your bathroom shower drain, first remove the strainer cover by using a screw driver. Using a flash light, look for any visible signs of blockage, and if you see one, use a straightened hanger to fish out the blockage. If this doesn't work, plumbing a small plunger about 20 times can dislodge the obstruction. Keep plunging until the abstraction has been sucked out near enough for you to see it. Then, use a hanger to fish the clog out. Toilet repairs are among the most dreaded home plumbing repairs to attempt. To fix an overflowing toilet, use a plunger to dislodge the clog. Do the same for a clogged toilet, and plunge at least 15 to 20 times. After every plunging session, pour some water into the toilet, and see if the clog is washed away. Remember, plunging doesn't always work immediately, and you might have to plunge a few times to see any results.
