Why have your boiler serviced every year?

A boiler works hard for months without anyone looking inside it. A yearly service lets a Gas Safe registered engineer check that it is burning safely, running efficiently and not heading for a breakdown. In practice that means:

• Safety: we check the flue, the ventilation and the gas connections, and run a flue gas analysis to show the boiler is burning cleanly.
• Fewer breakdowns: blocked condensate pipes, low pressure and worn parts are far cheaper to deal with when they are spotted early than when the heating fails on a cold night.
• Lower running costs: a clean, properly set-up boiler uses less gas for the same amount of heat.
• Your warranty: most manufacturers expect an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer to keep a warranty valid.

What happens during a boiler service?

A standard service covers a visual inspection of the boiler, flue and pipework; ventilation, gas consumption and working pressure checks; flue flow and flue gas analysis; cleaning the filter and condensate; checking the controls and safety devices; testing the gas meter and pipework; checking and topping up the system pressure, checking and bleeding the radiators, and checking the water quality and inhibitor level; and a CO alarm check. You get a safety checklist with recommendations and a service record.

The full service adds stripping the boiler down, cleaning the heat exchanger and checking the probes and electrodes, with seals, probes and electrodes replaced if necessary. It is worth considering if your boiler has not been serviced for a few years or is showing its age.

Signs your boiler needs a service

• It has been more than 12 months since the last service, or you don’t know when it was last serviced
• Banging, whistling, gurgling or kettling noises
• The pressure keeps dropping and you keep having to top it up
• A yellow or orange flame instead of a steady blue one, or black marks around the boiler
• Radiators that stay cold or heat unevenly, or hot water that takes longer to arrive
• Gas bills creeping up when you are not using more

If you smell gas or think there could be carbon monoxide, open doors and windows, turn off the gas at the meter if you can reach it safely, avoid switches and naked flames, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Don’t wait for a service.

How much does a boiler service cost in Leeds?

A standard boiler service is £84 and a full service is £144. Both prices are for labour only; if your boiler needs a service kit, it is charged at cost on top. All our prices are on our rates page, and our boiler service cost guide explains what affects the price. You can also spread the cost with our boiler service plan, from £7 a month.

Boiler service for landlords

If you let a property you must have the gas appliances checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months and give your tenants a copy of the record. Ask us when you book if you would like the gas safety check and the boiler service done in the same visit. Our gas engineer page has the details.

Boiler service questions

How often should a boiler be serviced?

Once every 12 months. Booking in the same month each year makes it routine, and keeping the service records helps with any warranty claim and when you come to sell.

What should I tell you when I book?

Your boiler’s make, model name or number, GC number and serial number. They are on the boiler’s data plate, and they let us confirm the full cost of the service promptly.

Do you service every make of boiler?

We work on all major brands, including Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Baxi, Ideal and ATAG, and on combi, system and regular boilers. We also service unvented cylinders.

What happens if you find a fault?

We explain what we have found and agree the cost with you before any repair work. Repairs are charged at a fixed £180 for labour or at our hourly rate, whichever you prefer, plus parts at cost. See our boiler repair page.

Will I get the same engineer every year?

Yes. Your boiler is serviced by the same Gas Safe registered engineer every year, so we know your boiler and its history.
