Keep on top of annual maintenance
A boiler can still heat your home while needing maintenance. An annual service is an opportunity for a qualified engineer to check its operation and carry out the work specified by the manufacturer. It does not guarantee a trouble-free year, but it gives you a record of the appliance’s condition at the visit.
What is included in a boiler service?
The work depends on your make and model and the manufacturer’s instructions. Inspection, operating checks and any specified cleaning or maintenance form part of that process. Ask about the scope when booking, particularly if you have a filter, cylinder or other heating equipment you also want checked. A boiler service is not a full system flush.
Service history and manufacturer guarantees
Find the installation paperwork and previous service record before your appointment. Guarantee conditions differ between manufacturers and models; annual servicing is commonly a condition. Worcester Bosch, for example, requires yearly servicing under its guarantee terms. Check the terms for your own appliance rather than assuming every policy is the same.
Tell us about faults before booking
If the boiler has stopped working, repeatedly loses pressure or displays a fault code, mention that first. A routine service does not automatically include parts or fault repairs. We can discuss a repair appointment and explain the proposed work before you commit.
Make the visit straightforward
Send your postcode, boiler make and model, approximate age and last service date if known. Arrange access to the boiler and its paperwork. For a rental property, tell us who will provide access and whether you also need a landlord gas safety check; these are different services.
Book ahead of the colder months
You can arrange servicing at any time of year. If it is coming due, planning ahead lets you discuss maintenance before relying heavily on the heating. Our annual servicing guide explains what to ask and what a service can and cannot do.
