Central heating boiler maintenance: why and how often?

Maintenance keeps your boiler safe, efficient, and reliable. We explain what it entails and how often it is necessary.

A central heating boiler works hard all year round. Periodic maintenance keeps it safe, efficient and reliable, and is often a condition for your manufacturer's warranty.

In short
  • Maintenance keeps your boiler safe (carbon monoxide)
  • A clean boiler is more efficient
  • Often a condition for your manufacturer's warranty
  • Once every 1–2 years is usually sufficient

Why maintenance is important

During maintenance, we check for carbon monoxide and safe combustion, clean the boiler and adjust it for optimal performance. A well-maintained boiler uses less gas and is less likely to break down at the worst possible moment.

How often is it needed?

For most boilers, a maintenance service is sufficient once every one to two years. Manufacturers often set this as a condition for the warranty. With a maintenance contract, we schedule it automatically.
