Why Should You Service Your Boiler Every Year?
A yearly boiler service is one of the most cost-effective things you can do as a homeowner. Here’s why it matters:
- Prolongs boiler lifespan — regular servicing prevents premature failure
- Protects your manufacturer’s warranty — we service to manufacturer specification
- Catches issues early — small problems fixed cheaply before they become expensive
- Saves money on energy bills — a poorly running boiler can cost up to £300 more per year in wasted energy
- Peace of mind — know your heating system is safe and running efficiently
What’s Included in a Boiler Service?
Our engineers carry out a full service to manufacturer specification, which includes:
- Controls check — ensuring full operational function
- Flue and combustion gas analysis
- Flame sensor inspection
- Pilot burner check
- Electrical wiring inspection
- Gas pressure and flow check
- Seal integrity check
- Full visual inspection of components
Signs Your Boiler Needs a Service or Repair
If your boiler is showing any of the following signs, it’s time to call us. Catching problems early almost always means a cheaper fix:
- Strange noises — banging, kettling, or whistling from your boiler
- Increased energy bills — without a change in usage, this often points to an inefficient boiler
- Inconsistent heating or hot water — some radiators cold, or hot water running out faster than usual
- Yellow or orange flame — the flame should always be blue; other colours can indicate a gas issue
- Frequent pressure loss — if you’re topping up the pressure regularly, something isn’t right
- Boiler cutting out — a boiler that keeps switching itself off needs attention
- Visible leaks or corrosion — any water around the boiler should be investigated immediately
If you’re unsure, give us a call on 01202 668822 and we’ll advise you honestly on whether a service, repair, or replacement makes more sense.
How to Tell If Your Boiler Is Running Inefficiently
An inefficient boiler doesn’t just cost more to run — it puts unnecessary wear on the system and shortens its lifespan. Here’s what to look out for:
- Your energy bills have crept up without any change in how you use heating or hot water
- Your boiler takes longer to heat the house than it used to
- Your radiators take a long time to warm up or have cold spots even after bleeding
- The boiler runs for longer periods to reach the same temperature
- Your boiler is over 10 years old and has never been serviced
Our engineers will check combustion efficiency during every service and make any adjustments needed to get your boiler running at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions — Boiler Servicing & Repair
How long does a boiler service take?
A standard boiler service typically takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour. If our engineer identifies any issues that require attention, they will advise you on the spot before carrying out any additional work.
How often should I have my boiler serviced?
Your boiler should be serviced once a year, ideally before winter when you’ll be relying on it most. Annual servicing also keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid and ensures your boiler is running safely and efficiently.
What happens if my boiler fails its service?
If our engineer identifies a fault during the service, they will explain exactly what the problem is and provide you with a clear, honest quote for the repair. There’s no pressure — you decide how you’d like to proceed. We never carry out work without your approval first.
Do I need to be home during the boiler service?
Yes, someone over 18 needs to be present to give our engineer access to the boiler and any relevant controls. The service usually takes less than an hour, so it’s minimal disruption to your day.
Is a boiler service the same as a gas safety check?
No — they are different, though related. A gas safety check (CP12) confirms that gas appliances are safe to use and is a legal requirement for landlords. A boiler service goes further, checking the performance and condition of the boiler itself and cleaning components where needed. We include a landlord gas safety inspection at no extra charge when carried out alongside a service.
How do I know if my boiler needs a repair or a full replacement?
As a general rule, if your boiler is under 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new boiler, repair usually makes more sense. If your boiler is over 15 years old, frequently breaking down, or the repair cost is high, replacement is often the better long-term investment. Our engineers will give you an honest assessment — we won’t recommend a new boiler if a repair will do the job.
Will servicing my boiler reduce my energy bills?
Yes, in most cases. A boiler that hasn’t been serviced can lose efficiency over time, meaning it uses more gas to produce the same amount of heat. An inefficient boiler can cost up to £300 more per year to run. Our engineers check and adjust combustion performance during every service to ensure your boiler is operating at peak efficiency.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?
Yes. Every engineer we send out is Gas Safe registered, which is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK. You can ask to see their Gas Safe ID card when they arrive — a legitimate engineer will always be happy to show it.
Do you offer boiler servicing for landlords?
Yes. We carry out annual boiler services and issue Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) for landlords across Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset. We include the gas safety inspection at no extra charge when booked with a service. Call us on 01202 668822 to arrange.
