Looking after your boiler keeps your home warm, safe, and efficient. But how often should it be serviced? Let’s break it down.
✅ The short answer: once a year
Most experts – and manufacturers – recommend having your boiler serviced annually. That applies to both gas boilers and oil boilers. Regular servicing helps ensure your system is working safely and efficiently.
🔧 Why an annual boiler service matters:
-
Safety first
A faulty boiler can leak carbon monoxide – a dangerous, invisible gas. A yearly check gives peace of mind. -
Save on energy bills
A well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently, helping reduce your energy usage and monthly costs. -
Avoid costly breakdowns
Servicing catches small issues before they turn into expensive repairs (or worse – full replacements). -
Stay under warranty
Some boiler warranties are only valid if the unit is serviced every year by a qualified engineer.
🏠 When is the best time to book a service?
We recommend late summer or early autumn – before the cold weather kicks in. That way, your boiler is ready for action when you need it most.
🚨 Signs your boiler may need attention sooner:
-
Strange noises (banging, whistling)
-
Water leaks
-
Low pressure
-
Radiators not heating properly
-
Error codes on the display
If you notice any of these, don’t wait – get in touch right away.
