How often should a boiler be serviced? We recommend booking a service for your boiler every year. Your boiler does a lot of work keeping your home supplied with hot water and heating. An annual check by a qualified engineer will give you peace of mind that everything is working as it should be.

 

Just like a car, a boiler needs to be well maintained in order to keep it operating at its best. We recommend a yearly boiler service to help ensure that your boiler is running as efficiently and safely as possible. Please be aware that many house insurance policies also stipulate that your boiler must be maintained as a condition of your agreement.

 

Regular servicing will ensure your boiler components are checked and operating safely, ensures your boiler is running as energy efficient as possible and is a great way of making sure that your boiler can deliver reliable heating year after year.

Servicing must be carried out by qualified professionals. The company who originally installed your product may be able to complete your service or use our Find an Installer tool to get in touch with a local Worcester Accredited Installer.
