Baxi Boiler Service

A boiler service may seem like another expense, but it is vital for keeping your family and home safe, whilst also maintaining the boiler’s warranty. 

How often should a Baxi boiler be serviced?

Baxi recommends having your Baxi boiler serviced once a year to help it run as efficiently as possible and detect any issues that might be affecting the performance of your boiler. 

No matter what kind of boiler you have, we always recommend having your boiler serviced at least once a year, depending on its age. 

What is the average lifespan of a Baxi boiler?

A Baxi boiler will have an average lifespan of around 10 to 15 years, but this can vary depending on how well it is maintained. 

Having your Baxi boiler serviced will help to ensure it is properly maintained and in working order, allowing it to reach the higher end of its lifespan.

What does a Baxi boiler service include?

Our Baxi boiler services are always conducted by a qualified gas engineer who will guarantee your heating system functions efficiently and safely. 

Our full boiler service includes:

• Boiler control inspection – Our engineers will check your boiler’s controls to establish if they are operating correctly, adjusting any settings where necessary to optimise the performance.

• Heat exchanger cleaning – The heat exchanger will be cleaned and checked for any obstructions.

• Flue and burner inspection – The flue pathway is checked for blockages and the burner is checked for efficient combustion.

• Seals and gaskets –  Every seal is checked to help ensure there is no chance of a gas or water leak.

• Checking components – Important parts like the fan, pump and main injector are checked to make sure they are functioning properly.

• Gas pressure tests – Gas pressure is tested to ensure it aligns with the Baxi boiler guidelines.

How much does it cost to service a Baxi boiler?

The cost of servicing a Baxi boiler depends on the type of boiler and if there are any parts that need to be replaced or fixed immediately.  An initial boiler service for a standard boiler is £96.00. Our engineer will highlight any recommended remedial work in his boiler service report and a quote for this work will follow from our office team.

Some parts can be more expensive than others, and sometimes parts for boilers need to be ordered in stock.. The time involved in replacing a part may also increase your costs. 

At Lacey Plumbing & Heating, we have a monthly boiler service plan that you can use in order to help save some time and money. 

Baxi boiler cover vs a one-off boiler service

Annual boiler cover is a great choice if you would prefer to spread the cost for your Baxi boiler service over the year. It can also help prevent any surprise costs for repairs and ensures you have a heating engineer on hand if you ever have any plumbing and heating needs. 

Baxi boiler cover also helps to ensure that your guarantee stays valid since you will always have the following years’ boiler service booked in. 

A one-off boiler service allows you to be flexible when your boiler is serviced. You won’t be tied into a contract, which means you can easily choose the specific time in the year you’d like to have your boiler serviced. However, we still always recommend you have your boiler serviced once a year. 

It’s worth keeping in mind that if your boiler needs to be repaired during the service, you may have to pay for extra parts and repairs. Under a boiler cover plan, this would be covered.
