What Does a Boiler Service Include?

A boiler service with Blackdown Heating is a thorough, systematic inspection, not a box-ticking exercise. Our engineers work through a full checklist covering every key component of your system:

  • Visual inspection - checking for signs of corrosion, leaks, or deterioration
  • Flue and ventilation check - ensuring combustion gases are safely expelled and there's no risk of carbon monoxide entering the property
  • Burner and heat exchanger inspection - cleaning where required to restore efficiency
  • Gas pressure and flow rate testing - confirming the boiler is receiving the correct supply and operating within safe parameters
  • Ignition and flame inspection - checking the spark probe, electrode, and flame picture for correct operation
  • Combustion analysis - measuring CO and CO2 levels to verify safe and efficient combustion
  • Seals and gaskets - inspecting for wear that could allow fume leakage
  • Controls and safety devices - testing thermostats, pressure relief valves, and any other safety interlocks
  • Condensate system check (condensing boilers) - inspecting the trap and pipework for blockages

At the end of the service, we'll let you know the condition of your boiler and flag anything that may need attention before it becomes a bigger problem. No jargon, no hard sell - just straight, honest advice.

Why Should You Service Your Boiler Every Year?

An annual boiler service isn't just about ticking a box, it's the single most effective way to protect your home, your family, and your heating investment. Here's why it matters:

  • Safety first. A poorly maintained boiler can produce carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas that is potentially fatal. Regular servicing catches the early warning signs before they become dangerous.
  • Lower energy bills. A boiler working harder than it needs to because of dirty components or incorrect gas pressure will use more fuel. A well-serviced boiler runs more efficiently, which reduces your bills.
  • Fewer breakdowns. Most boiler breakdowns are predictable. Worn seals, a failing igniter, a blocked condensate trap, these are all things a service will pick up before they leave you without heating on a cold morning.
  • Protect your warranty. Most boiler manufacturers require evidence of annual servicing to keep the warranty valid. Skipping a service could mean a costly repair bill that should have been covered.
  • Landlord legal requirement. If you rent out a property with a gas boiler, you are legally required to have it serviced annually and to provide tenants with a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12). Blackdown Heating can carry out both the service and the certificate inspection in a single visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every boiler, gas or oil should be serviced once a year. Annual servicing keeps the boiler running safely and efficiently, maintains the manufacturer's warranty, and is a legal requirement for landlords. Even if your boiler seems to be running fine, internal components can deteriorate without any obvious symptoms. An annual service catches problems early and saves money in the long run.

A thorough boiler service typically takes between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, depending on the boiler type and its condition. If we find something that needs attention, we'll let you know before doing any additional work.

For landlords, yes — gas boiler servicing is a legal requirement under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. You must have the boiler serviced annually and provide tenants with a valid Gas Safety Certificate within 28 days of the inspection. For homeowners, it is not a legal requirement but is strongly recommended — and is usually required to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid.

A service is a planned, preventative inspection carried out on a boiler that is working normally. A repair is carried out when something has gone wrong and the boiler has developed a fault or broken down. The two are different jobs — though sometimes a service will identify a fault that then needs repairing. We'll always give you a clear quote before carrying out any repair work.

Yes. We are OFTEC registered and carry out annual servicing on oil-fired boilers as well as gas. Oil boilers typically require slightly more cleaning than gas boilers due to the nature of the fuel, but the process is similar. We work on all major oil boiler brands across Somerset and Devon.

We service all major brands including Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Viessmann, Ideal, Navien, Potterton, Gledhill, and more. If you're unsure whether we cover your boiler make or model, just give us a call.
