What Does a Boiler Service Check?

Why annual boiler servicing matters and what a typical service is intended to assess.

Quick answer

A boiler service is intended to check condition, safe operation and key combustion or performance factors appropriate to the appliance.

Understanding the issue

A boiler service is intended to check condition, safe operation and key combustion or performance factors appropriate to the appliance.

What to check

The engineer may inspect the appliance, controls, flue arrangement and relevant safety components, following the manufacturer's requirements and applicable procedures.

When to get advice

Servicing does not guarantee a boiler will never fail, but it can identify developing issues and is often important for warranty conditions.

Safety first

This is general information, not a substitute for inspecting your property. Do not work on gas equipment or live electrical parts unless appropriately qualified. If there is immediate danger, call 999. If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, leave the affected area and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. Do not operate electrical switches or use naked flames.
