Your boiler should be serviced once a year, ideally before winter. Annual servicing keeps your boiler running efficiently, maintains your warranty, and is a legal requirement for landlords.
Signs you may need a new boiler include: it's over 15 years old, frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven heating, a yellow/orange flame instead of blue, strange noises, or repair costs approaching 50% of a new boiler.
Check your boiler pressure gauge (should be 1-1.5 bar). If pressure is low, try repressurising. Write down the error code and search for it with your boiler model. If the error persists, call a Gas Safe registered engineer.
A new boiler installation typically costs between £1,650 and £3,500 depending on the boiler type and complexity. All quotes from Plumbline MK are fixed-price with no hidden fees and include a free Hive smart thermostat.
