When is the Best Time to Get Your Boiler Serviced?

At BCA Plumbing, Heating and Gas Services, we know how important it is to keep your boiler running efficiently and safely all year round. Regular boiler servicing not only helps prevent unexpected breakdowns but also ensures your heating system is working at its best when you need it most.
But one of the most common questions we get asked is: “When is the best time to have a boiler service?”
The Best Time of Year to Service Your Boiler
The ideal time to book your annual boiler service is during the summer months (May–August). Here’s why:
- ✅ Beat the winter rush – Heating engineers are busiest during autumn and winter when breakdowns are most common. By servicing your boiler early, you’ll avoid long wait times.
- ✅ Ensure your boiler is ready for winter – Having your boiler checked in summer means it’ll be in top condition before you turn the heating on for the colder months.
- ✅ Spot problems early – A professional service can identify small issues before they turn into costly repairs.
- ✅ Save money on energy bills – A well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently, helping to lower your gas usage.
How Often Should You Service Your Boiler?
Gas Safe guidelines recommend that all boilers, whether gas, oil, or LPG, should be serviced once a year. An annual service is also a requirement for most boiler warranties – skipping it could void your cover.
