# What does a boiler service cost?

Compare dated published offers and ask for the scope behind each price.

Updated 2026-11-10. Also on the [web page](https://boilerpros.fyi/guides/boiler-service-costs).

Ask for a written price for your boiler and address. A maintenance contract, a one-off service and a landlord safety check are different purchases. Compare the included work before comparing totals.

## A dated UK price example

On 2026-11-10, the British Gas service page showed annual service offers from £79 for members and £89 at the sale price for non-members. Its one-off service section showed £109 for members and £119 for non-members. These displayed offers span £79 to £119. They concern different purchase terms. They are not a market-wide cost range.

The same page contains other appliance-service cards and introductory text with different figures. Use the live booking quote and its terms for the actual amount. Do not assume the lowest headline applies to every appliance or booking date.

These are GBP prices from a UK supplier. This guide does not convert them into US or Canadian service prices. Ask a local licensed contractor for a quote in the local currency.

## Ask what is included

Worcester Bosch describes a service as including a visual flue inspection, checks and recorded readings, with heat exchanger cleaning if required. Its description is not a promise that every contractor includes the same tasks. Send your boiler model and ask which manufacturer procedure the engineer will follow. [Worcester Bosch, checked 2026-11-10.]

Ask whether the price includes travel, tax, the service report and any consumables. Ask how the engineer will obtain approval before fitting parts. Request a separate price for repairs discovered during the visit. Avoid a booking that gives no clear scope or approval process.

## Landlords need a separate question

Ask whether a landlord gas safety check and record are included. HSE distinguishes maintenance from the annual safety check for covered rented homes in Great Britain. An annual service label alone does not establish that both tasks are included. [HSE, checked 2026-11-10.]

## Compare written quotes

Keep a line for the engineer's name, official registration, quoted work, total, exclusions and appointment terms. Compare those lines side by side. A low total with unspecified parts or extra visits may be difficult to compare with a complete fixed scope.

Boiler Pros does not set engineer prices. A paid directory plan does not make a supplier's quote cheaper or certify its work.

## Questions

### Is the lowest published price a quote for my home?

No. Membership, contract terms, location and the appliance can change what is offered.
