Join the Dublin waitlistWhat a boiler service actually covers
A proper annual service is a safety check as much as a maintenance job. A registered engineer inspects combustion and gas pressure, checks the flue, cleans the parts that clog, and confirms the controls and safety devices work. Catching a worn part in September is a great deal cheaper than an emergency call-out in January.
- Annual service — keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid and catches small faults early.
- Repairs and lock-outs — no heat, no hot water, a fault code on the display, or pressure that keeps dropping.
- Small heating jobs — bleeding or balancing radiators, thermostat swaps, timer and control issues.
Gas work in Ireland must be carried out by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI); oil boilers by an OFTEC-registered technician. If you smell gas, leave the building and ring the 24-hour emergency service on 1800 20 50 50 before you do anything else.

Common questions
How often should a boiler be serviced in Ireland?
Once a year is the general guidance, and most manufacturers ask for an annual service to keep the warranty valid. Late summer and early autumn are the quietest times to book — once the cold sets in, engineers are booked out.
What happens during a boiler service?
A registered engineer checks the burner and heat exchanger, tests gas pressure and flow, checks the flue for safe fuel combustion, inspects seals and controls, and cleans the parts that collect debris. You should get a record of the checks afterwards.
Should the engineer be registered?
Yes. Anyone working on a natural gas boiler in Ireland must be a Registered Gas Installer (RGI); oil boilers should be handled by an OFTEC-registered technician. Ask for the registration number before any work starts.
My boiler has stopped completely — is that a service or a repair?
That's a repair call-out. Before you ring anyone, check that the pressure gauge sits around 1–1.5 bar, that the thermostat is calling for heat, and that the boiler hasn't locked out with a fault code. If the fix isn't obvious, note the fault code — it helps the engineer arrive with the right part.
How much does a boiler service cost in Dublin?
Prices vary by engineer, boiler type and what they find, so we don't quote a figure we can't stand over. Ask for the call-out fee, what the standard service covers, and how parts are charged before you book.
