FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How much does a boiler service cost?

    The cost of a boiler service depends on the type of appliance and fuel source. As a guide, boiler servicing typically starts from £80–£100 plus VAT.


    We service gas, oil and LPG boilers throughout Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. For an accurate quotation, please contact our team and we'll be happy to provide a price based on your specific appliance.

  • Do I need to do anything before the service?

    Before your boiler service, we recommend ensuring there is clear access to the boiler and any associated controls. If possible, remove any items stored around the appliance so our engineer can carry out the service safely and efficiently.


    You do not normally need to turn off the boiler before our arrival, as our engineer will complete all necessary safety procedures as part of the service.


    If you have any concerns before your appointment, contact our team who will be happy to advise.

  • How often should I get my boiler serviced?

    Most manufacturers recommend having your boiler serviced every 12 months. Annual boiler servicing helps ensure your heating system operates safely, efficiently and reliably throughout the year.


    Regular servicing can help identify small issues before they become expensive repairs, improve energy efficiency and may be required to maintain your boiler warranty.


    At Anthony's Servicing, we provide annual gas, oil and LPG boiler servicing throughout Aylesbury, Bicester, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. To book your boiler service contact us today.


  • What qualifications should a gas boiler engineer have?

    Any engineer working on a gas boiler or gas appliance must be Gas Safe Registered. This is a legal requirement in the UK and ensures the engineer is qualified to work safely on gas heating systems.


    If you have an oil boiler, your engineer should ideally be OFTEC registered, demonstrating specialist training in oil-fired heating systems.


    Anthony's Servicing is both Gas Safe and OFTEC registered, providing customers across Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire with complete peace of mind. 


    Every engineer must requalify every 5 years to remain certified, and this can be checked on the gas safe register here.
