No matter what type of boiler you have, servicing is essential to keep your boiler functioning properly. Regular servicing for your biomass boiler helps it to stay efficient, reliable, and keeps emissions low.

While paying for a boiler service may seem like a waste of money, this is not the case. Potential issues can be picked up before they cause your boiler to stop functioning and services can highlight any safety concerns.

Unlike gas boilers, biomass boilers can be serviced by anyone with the experience and qualifications to work on these boilers. You don't need to hire a gas safe engineer, but picking someone with the proper training is essential.

If you’re looking for a biomass boiler servicing professional, there are a few ways of making sure you hire the right person for the job. Make sure they:

• Have years of experience working with biomass boilers

• Have positive reviews on Checkatrade

• Have the proper qualifications

• Have a friendly and professional manner

• Have time to answer any questions you may have

This depends on how much you use your boiler, the amount of maintenance you carry out and the fuel quality you use. If your biomass boiler is running all day every day, you may need an earlier service than for a boiler that only runs a few hours a day.

If you carry out regular maintenance, you can leave a little longer between services.

So, how often should a biomass boiler be serviced? As a rough guide, you should book a biomass boiler service at least once a year.

Sticking to a budget? It may be difficult to find the spare cash to pay for an annual biomass boiler service. A great solution to this one off cost is to pay for boiler cover. You simply pay a monthly fee that covers any necessary repairs and regular servicing.

Wondering how much boiler cover costs? You can expect to pay between £9-£13 a month however biomass boiler cover may be more expensive. Our boiler service cost guide has more prices and advice.

If you’re having issues with your biomass boiler, it’s over 20 years old, or you can no longer find spare parts, you may need to consider a replacement. This does require an investment but your new boiler will be more efficient, reducing your fuel costs. If you do need a new biomass boiler, the average cost is £10,000.

Biomass boiler installation cost As well as paying for your new biomass boiler, you’ll need to budget for installation. Hiring a professional to fit your biomass boiler ensures it’s safe to use and properly installed. The average boiler installation cost is £3,000.

Maintaining a biomass boiler involves cleaning and checking its components. This should be done regularly to prevent problems from developing. Below we’ve summarised the cleaning process:

1. Make sure to switch off the boiler before carrying out any maintenance.

2. Each week, remove and clean ash out of your boiler.

3. If your biomass boiler uses logs, you’ll need to clean your boiler daily, leaving a bed of ash for the next use.

4. For log biomass boilers, check the air vents are unrestricted daily.

5. Each week, check the feed system for any blockages or build up of pellets.

6. Regularly clean the flue and heat exchanger
