How often should you service your boiler?

  • Boiler Care
By Verde Heat
  • Your boiler needs a service once a year — ideally before winter. Annual servicing catches problems early, keeps your warranty valid, and ensures your heating is safe and efficient.

    Why annual servicing matters

    During a service, we check the burner, controls, flue, and safety devices. We’ll clean components and spot anything that needs fixing before it becomes expensive. A well-serviced boiler runs 10–15% more efficiently, which saves money on energy bills.

    What happens during a boiler service

    Older boilers especially benefit from regular checks. If yours is over 10 years old and hasn’t been serviced regularly, booking one soon is a good idea. We’ll inspect:

    • Burner efficiency
    • Safety controls
    • Flue gases
    • Wear and tear on components

    Best time to book

    Winter is peak season, so book before October if you can. A service takes about an hour and costs £60–£100 depending on your boiler type.
