What happens at a boiler service

A service is a set of checks on how safely and cleanly the boiler burns. It usually takes about an hour.

  1. The engineer looks over the casing, seals and controls, then cleans the parts the maker says need it. Oil boilers usually get a new nozzle too.

  2. They test what comes out of the flue and leave you a written record. Never take the casing off yourself.

  3. If they find a fault, they tell you and price the fix on its own. Nothing extra happens unless you agree.

Why a yearly service keeps the warranty valid

Most boiler makers ask for a service every 12 months as a condition of the warranty.

Check the terms in your warranty paperwork and keep each service record somewhere safe, in case you ever need to make a claim.

Landlord gas safety certificates

If you let a home with gas appliances, they need a gas safety check every year by an engineer on the Gas Safe Register.

The safety check and a service are separate jobs, though one engineer can often do both on the same visit. Give existing tenants a copy within 28 days of the check, and new tenants one before they move in.

Booking before winter

Autumn is when heating engineers around Carlisle fill up fastest.

Ask for a service in late summer or early autumn and any fault shows up before the first cold snap. The engineer gives you their dates when they ring.

Questions people ask

How often should a boiler be serviced?

Every year, whether it runs on gas, LPG or oil. That is what most makers and both registration bodies recommend.

What does a service cost in Carlisle?

Local gas service prices ran from £80 to £120 on Checkatrade when we checked on 25 October 2026, and one Cumbrian firm lists £89. More on the boiler service cost page.

Do you service combi boilers?

Yes, combi, system and regular boilers are all covered. Say which you have when you get in touch if you know.

Is a service the same as a gas safety check?

No. A service keeps the boiler running well, while a gas safety check is the legal check landlords need. Book both together if you rent the home out.
