During your LPG boiler service, an engineer will check to make sure your boiler is working properly and is safe to use. Some of the main checks involve:

• Visually checking your boiler for leaks and any damage
• Making sure the flame in your boiler is working properly
• Ensuring the flue is not blocked or damaged
• Looking under your boiler casing to make sure each component is working
• Cleaning inside your boiler
• Checking the pressure of your boiler is correct

While LPG heating services aren’t free, they can spot developing issues before large scale repairs are needed. This will save you from paying expensive repair costs or even boiler replacement costs. The average price for an LPG heating service is £80.

When a Gas Safe engineer comes to service your boiler, they may notice other issues with your central heating system. These issues will need to be resolved for an extra cost. Some examples of additional costs include:

Radiator bleeding: £80 - £150 Fitting a new thermostat: £150 - £280 Boiler repairs: £100 - £500

How much does boiler cover cost?

If you’re on a tight budget, paying for boiler servicing may be tricky. One of the best solutions is to sign up for boiler cover. You’ll pay a monthly fee that covers annual servicing and other issues.

The average cost of boiler cover is £9 - £13 a month. You can find more prices and information in our boiler service cost guide.

If your boiler breaks down regularly, is particularly old or you’re unable to source new parts, it may be time for a replacement. While this can be costly, you’ll save on your energy bills by having a new, more efficient boiler. The average cost of a new LPG boiler is £4,300 + VAT.

LPG boiler installation cost

In addition to the cost of your new LPG boiler, you’ll need to pay for installation. Remember, it’s illegal to install an LPG boiler yourself, this needs to be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The average installation cost for a new boiler is £3,000 + VAT.

How long do LPG boilers last?

Most boilers last between 10 and 15 years, however with regular services and maintenance, your LPG boiler could last up to 20 years. Please note, the more you invest in your boiler, the longer its lifespan usually is.

As well as getting regular services, you can carry out maintenance on your LPG central heating system. This is a great way to prolong the life of your system. Try the below maintenance tips to keep your boiler in tip top shape:

• Annual radiator bleeding.

• Regularly checking the pressure of your boiler. You can look in your boiler manufacturer's instructions to ensure your boiler is set to the right pressure.

• Making sure your boiler flame is the right colour. The flame should be blue, not yellow or orange. If the flame isn't blue, we’d recommend speaking to a Gas Safe engineer straight away.

• Checking your radiators are working and balancing them.

• Looking for leaks and drips then getting these repaired.

• Lagging your outside pipes to prevent them from freezing during the winter.
