Selectra's Gas Boiler Service Tip
"Make sure that the technician who carries out the service is an RGII registered gas installer to ensure that the work is carried out to a high standard of both safety and service."

Your boiler should be serviced at least once a year, this could also include bleeding your boiler. Doing so will ensure it's operating properly and reduce the chances of it breaking down. If you don't get it serviced at least once a year, the warranty may be void.
An oil boiler service typically costs €60 to €100. The price of the service can vary depending on the following:
You should hire an OFTEC engineer to carry out the service for you. The engineer will check and clean all components of the oil boiler.
The oil boiler service should include the following:
Before the engineer leaves, you should confirm they have done everything on their oil boiler service checklist. If possible, get these steps in writing. This will come in handy if there are any problems and the manufacturer wants to check you have properly had the service.
Are There Boiler Grants in Ireland? Unfortunately, there are no longer boiler grants available in Ireland. The government is also planning on phasing out oil boilers by 2025. However, there are grants available from the SEAI for heat pumps and solar water heaters.
Most companies who offer an electric boiler service are often referring to your heat pump maintenance. In Ireland, the average maintenance of a heat pump will start at €65.
Routine maintenance on your heat pump will ensure better performance and keep your monthly electricity bill down. Having a professional examine your electric heat pump once every three to five years should suffice.
The heat pump maintenance service should include the following:
Since electric boilers do not have any type of exhaust pipe, do not emit carbon monoxide, and do not leak any hazardous gases, they do not require annual maintenance like most other types of boilers.
Since it is not an annual requirement, an electric boiler service is linked more to a repair or breakdown.

A biomass boiler uses fuel developed from organic materials, such as wood and plants, to produce heat. This heat can then be used to warm our homes and even generate electricity.
Similarly to gas and oil boilers, it's important to have your biomass boiler serviced annually in order to maintain its high efficiency, and avoid the need for replacement parts if the boiler breaks down.
Normally, the company from whom you bought your biomass system can offer a full review to ensure everything is working correctly.
LPG boilers are very similar to natural gas boilers. They do carry slightly different parts specifically designed to function for an LPG gas boiler.
You will want to ask your LPG gas provider, such as Flogas, for example, to conduct most maintenance work on your boiler.
This is because your LPG gas provider usually is the owner of the cylinders and tanks provided. Some items you may want to look for and know if it is time to contact your provider to have your LPG boiler serviced:
