Service 03 — Annual Boiler Service

Once a year.
Properly done.

A real 14-point inspection — not a 20-minute boiler-strip-and-go. We clean, test, recalibrate and certify, then send you a reminder this time next year so your manufacturer warranty stays valid for as long as your boiler lasts.

14-Point Inspection

Certificate issued the same day

Why It Matters

Four reasons it's not optional.

An annual service is the cheapest insurance policy you'll ever buy — and the one most often skipped, until something breaks at 11pm in January.

01

Keeps your warranty valid

Ideal, Alpha Heating — every major manufacturer requires annual servicing to keep their warranty active. Skip a year and a £2,000 boiler is suddenly out of cover.

02

Catches problems before they bite

A £15 sensor today is a £400 breakdown in February. Annual checks find the things that fail at the worst possible moment.

03

Keeps efficiency where it should be

Sludge, scaled heat exchangers and miscalibrated controls quietly add 5–10% to your gas bill every year. We bring it back.

04

Required for your home insurance

Many home insurance policies will refuse a heating-related claim without proof of annual servicing. Same applies for landlord cover.

What We Actually Do

The full 14-point
inspection.

Most "services" we get called in to fix the next year are 20-minute jobs that skip the bits that actually matter. Here is the checklist we run on every boiler — combi, system or regular — and what it covers.

Typical visit: 60–90 minutes

Combustion & gas

Flue gas analysis (CO/CO₂ ratio)

Gas inlet pressure & burner pressure

Combustion seal integrity

Flue draft & terminal inspection

Internal components

Heat exchanger condition & cleaning

Burner & injector inspection

Fan operation & speed

Condensate trap & pipework

Controls & safety

Pressure relief valve test

Expansion vessel pressure check

Thermostat & timer function

When to Book

Book before October. Seriously.

The same service is the same price all year. The difference is whether you can get a slot. Here's how the calendar actually plays out.

Best time

Apr–Jun

Boiler is rested, engineers have availability, prices unaffected by demand.

Smart

Jul–Sep

Plenty of slots. Get it done before the September rush starts.

Demand spikes

Oct

First cold snap and the phones light up. Book early in the month.

Hardest to book

Nov–Mar

Engineers prioritise breakdowns. Routine services are slotted in around them.

Free With Every Service

We'll text you
this time next year.

Most warranties are voided not because people skip a service on purpose — but because life gets in the way. We keep a private reminder list and send you a text 6 weeks before your service is due. No spam, no marketing, just the reminder.

How It Works

  1. You book your service with us.

  2. We log your address, boiler model, and service date.

  3. Six weeks before your next due date, we send a friendly text.

  4. You reply with a date that works. Done — warranty stays valid.

"Job done in 48 hours"

Absolutely brilliant service from the team. I needed a job doing very last minute. The team responded immediately and booked me in straight away. From initial contact to job done was 48 hours. I couldn't recommend them more.

Absolutely brilliant service from Adam and Danny! They sorted my boiler out in literally 2 minutes. They were professional, friendly, and did an amazingly clean job with no mess left behind at all. Really impressed with how quick and efficient they were. Highly recommend them to anyone needing boiler work done!

"Put my mum at ease"

Well what can I say — absolutely brilliant service. I would highly recommend this company. They came and fitted a new boiler system for my 85-year-old mother-in-law who's agoraphobic. They're extremely lovely lads and really put her at ease — nothing was too much trouble. They arrived when they said they would (which is a bonus nowadays) and kept me informed throughout. It wasn't an easy job but their work was 100% and they left the place nice and tidy afterwards. I honestly can't rate this company high enough — 10/10 lads, thank you for all your hard work.

"Completed in a day"

Danny and his team from Eco Heat Surge replaced our faulty system heating boiler and the work was top class. Completed in a day and left everything clean and tidy afterwards. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.

"Diagnosed clearly"

Had problems with getting hot water for a few weeks and Danny came out straight away and diagnosed the problem, which required replacement of the heat exchange plate. They explained clearly what the issue was and what was needed to fix it. Part was ordered and replaced in a couple of days. All work was undertaken without any mess or disruption — I would use them again and recommend them without hesitation.

I had Danny and a team of gas engineers remove my back boiler and relocate a new combi boiler. Excellent work — polite, friendly, and tidy. Would recommend. Good service.

"Rectified — no problem"

Had the lads come to lay a new gas pipe for a kitchen refurb along with relocating the pipework for 2 new radiators. Then recalled them to move the gas pipe slightly as my measurements were off — which they rectified, no problem. Very professional. Would highly recommend.

Common Questions

What people ask us most.

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Yes. Every engineer at Eco Heat Surge is Gas Safe registered — the mandatory legal certification required to work on gas appliances in the UK. You can verify our registration on the official Gas Safe Register website at gassaferegister.co.uk. We carry our ID cards on every job and are happy to show them before we start work.

What warranties do you provide on new boilers?

Warranties vary by manufacturer and model. Ideal boilers come with up to 12 years warranty when installed by an approved installer — which we are. Alpha Heating offers up to 10 years on their flagship range. We will confirm the exact warranty available on your chosen boiler during the quote process. All warranties require annual servicing to remain valid.

Do you service boilers as well as install them?

Yes. Annual boiler servicing is one of our core services. We carry out full safety inspections, flue gas analysis, controls checks, and issue a service certificate on the day. We also offer a reminder service so you never miss your annual service and inadvertently void your manufacturer warranty.

How often should I service my boiler?

Once a year, without exception. Annual servicing keeps your boiler running efficiently and safely, catches small problems before they become expensive breakdowns, and is required by all major manufacturers to keep your warranty valid. Skipping a service voids your warranty and can also affect your home insurance. We recommend booking before October — before the winter demand surge.

How do I know if my boiler needs servicing?

The clearest sign is that 12 months have passed since your last service. Beyond that, watch for: unusual noises the boiler does not normally make, only heating or hot water working but not both, any visible leaks or drips around the unit, the pilot light going out regularly, or anything that simply seems out of the ordinary. If you are unsure, it is always safer to book a check than to wait.
