Boiler Servicing & Maintenance FAQs
Keep your boiler running safely and efficiently. Here our Gas Safe engineers answer the most common questions about annual servicing and general maintenance.
How often should my boiler be serviced?
We recommend a full boiler service once a year. Annual servicing keeps your boiler safe, efficient, and maintains your manufacturer’s warranty.
What’s included in a Blue Flame boiler service?
Our engineers carry out safety checks, clean key components, test flue emissions, inspect seals and pipework, and issue a digital service record for your peace of mind.
Can I service my boiler myself?
No. Only a qualified Gas Safe engineer should open or test a boiler. Homeowners can check pressure and bleed radiators, but servicing must be professional for safety and insurance compliance.
Does a service improve efficiency?
Yes. A clean, well-maintained boiler burns fuel more efficiently, reducing energy use and emissions. Regular servicing also helps prevent costly breakdowns.
Do landlords need annual services too?
Yes. Landlords are legally required to have all gas appliances serviced annually and hold a valid CP12 Gas Safety Certificate for their tenants.
