Why an Annual Boiler Service Matters
Your boiler works hard every day — and just like your car, it needs regular maintenance. Here’s why an annual boiler service is essential:
- Safety First – Detects carbon monoxide risks and ensures all components are functioning correctly.
- Save Money – Prevents expensive repairs by catching problems early.
- Improve Efficiency – Optimises performance to reduce energy bills.
- Warranty Protection – Many boiler warranties require annual servicing.
- Reliable Heating – Reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns, especially in winter.
Whether you need an annual boiler service or urgent repairs, our gas safe (for gas and LPG boilers) and OFTEC registered (for oil boilers) are here to help — promptly, professionally, and with no hidden costs.
Beware - not all Annual boiler services are equal!
At Active Heating Services our boiler services are done thoroughly for your total peace of mind. Unlike a lot of providers, who do a visual inspection & a probe test, we provide an in-depth 10 step boiler service.

Boiler Service FAQs
Hopefully these may answer your questions, if you have further questions please do get in touch with our team
In line with boiler manufacturer's advise we recommend having your boiler serviced once a year. Regular annual servicing ensures safety, efficiency, and keeps your warranty valid.
A standard boiler service, when done properly, includes gas and emissions safety checks, cleaning key components, testing pressure and controls, inspecting the flue, and identifying any wear or faults. You’ll receive a full service report & gas safety certificate at the end. See our 10 step boiler service on this page.
Most services take up to 60 minutes, depending on the boiler type, location and condition. If we find any issues, we’ll explain clearly before doing any extra work.
It helps:
- Ensure your boiler is safe
- Prevent breakdowns
- Lower energy bills
- Detect dangerous issues like carbon monoxide leaks
- Keep your warranty valid
Servicing is about prevention, protection, and performance.

Yes! A well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently, meaning it uses less energy to heat your home — which can help lower your heating bills.
Boiler services should be annual, but in addition to this requirement, common signs of your boiler needing a service include:
- Unusual noises (clunking, whistling)
- Pilot light going out
- Pressure loss
- Uneven heating
- But even without these signs, annual servicing is still advised.
