Boiler Servicing Explained: What’s Included & Why It Matters

If you’re not sure what happens during a boiler service or whether it’s worth the cost, you’re not alone. In this guide, we’ve got boiler servicing explained in clear, simple terms — covering what’s involved and how it keeps your home safe, warm, and efficient.

What Is Boiler Servicing?

Boiler servicing means giving your system a full health check. A qualified Gas Safe engineer inspects the boiler to make sure it runs safely and efficiently. They spot any signs of wear and fix small issues before they cause expensive problems.

What’s Included in a Standard Boiler Service?

• We inspect the boiler and flue visually
• We check the flame and combustion settings
• We clean internal parts like the burner and heat exchanger
• We test the pressure and safety valves
• We use a flue gas analyser to check for harmful emissions
• We look for leaks, corrosion, or damage
• We confirm the boiler complies with current safety standards

Once we finish, we give you a clear service report showing what we’ve done and any advice we recommend.

Why Is Boiler Servicing Important?

You might wonder why an annual service matters. Here’s why it really helps:

• Safety: We catch gas leaks or carbon monoxide risks before they become dangerous
• Efficiency: A well-tuned boiler uses less energy and cuts your bills
• Reliability: We stop small issues turning into breakdowns
• Warranty: Most manufacturers need yearly services to keep cover valid
• Longevity: Regular care extends your boiler’s working life

How Often Should You Service Your Boiler?

Every 12 months. That’s the simple answer. Servicing once a year keeps your system safe and efficient, and it meets most warranty and landlord requirements.
