Boiler Service vs Boiler Repair – What’s the Difference?
Many Birmingham homeowners ask us about the difference between a boiler service and a boiler repair. While they both keep your heating running, they are very different types of work:
Boiler Service
A boiler service is a planned, preventative check-up carried out once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer. During a service, we:
- Clean and inspect internal components
- Check the flue, ventilation, and gas pressure
- Test safety devices and controls
- Identify any early signs of wear or faults
The goal of a boiler service is to prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency, and keep your home safe. For example, many of our customers in Edgbaston, Moseley, and Yardley book annual services to avoid mid-winter failures.
Boiler Repair
A boiler repair is a reactive fix when your boiler has already developed a fault. Common problems include:
- No hot water or heating
- Ignition failure or error codes
- Leaks and loss of pressure
- Strange noises or kettling
Our boiler repair men provide fast boiler repair and same-day callouts across Birmingham city centre, Digbeth, Harborne, and beyond, getting faulty boilers back in working order.
