How Often Should I Service my Gas Boiler?

  • Regularly servicing your gas boiler ensures that it’s operating efficiently. A regular gas boiler service maintains the efficiency of your gas boiler, makes it more environmentally friendly and as a result, cheaper to run. In fact, by servicing your boiler every year, you could save up to €150 off your annual heating bill.
  • Efficiency is not the only benefit however. The safety aspect is even more critical, as having a fully serviced gas boiler reduces the risk of the poisonous gas Carbon Monoxide seeping out into your home.
  • Servicing your gas boiler annually, also allows you to catch any problems with your boiler, before they escalate into costly repairs. Thereby, saving you money in the long run.

Who Should Service My Gas Boiler?

It is illegal for anyone other than a Registered Gas Installer to service your boiler.

Only a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) will have the required competency and experience to adequately set up, repair and service your gas appliances. The RGI is also the only one qualified to check if your boiler is correctly installed and operating in a suitable environment.
