Worcester Bosch Boiler Service

We are Worcester accredited installers and can accurately service your Worcester Bosch boiler to maintain your warranty and the boiler’s quality.

How often should a Worcester Bosch boiler be serviced?

If you have a Worcester Bosch boiler, you should ensure it is serviced annually to keep it running safely and efficiently, as well as keeping the manufacturer’s guarantee valid. 

No matter what kind of boiler you have, it should be serviced once a year to help maintain it. 

What is the average lifespan of a Worcester boiler?

Worcester Bosch boilers usually have an average lifespan of between 10-15 years, but it can vary depending on the maintenance, usage and type of boiler. 

As long as you keep your boiler maintained, you should expect to see your boiler last to the longer end of the lifespan.

What does a Worcester Bosch boiler service include?

Our Worcester Bosch boiler service is always conducted by certified engineers who will ensure your heating system functions efficiently and safely. 

Our boiler service includes:

• Inspection of controls – Our heating engineers will review the boiler controls to confirm they are operating correctly and will adjust settings where necessary to optimise the performance of the boiler.

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

• Heat exchanger cleaning – The heat exchanger will be checked for any blockages.

• Seals and gaskets – All seals will be checked, ensuring there is no chance of a gas or water leak.

• Checking components – Vital parts like the fan, pump and main injector will be checked for functionality.

• Gas pressure tests – Gas pressure is tested to ensure it aligns with the Worcester Bosch guidelines. 

How much does it cost to service a Worcester Bosch boiler?

How much it costs to service a Worcester Bosch boiler depends on whether it is a standard boiler service or a more in depth, full service. 

It is advisable to have the more in depth service at year 5. This will involve a deeper clean of certain components in the boiler and changing of consumable parts such as seals and electrodes. Our engineers will attend to a standard service but then may advise a strip service is required. 

Sometimes an engineer may find other faults as part of a boiler service and these will be recommended as part of the boiler service report. These costs will depend on the part that’s required and time to change those parts. If you suspect you have a boiler fault, a boiler service will not repair this; you need to book for a boiler diagnosis.

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

Worcester Bosch boiler cover vs a one-off boiler service

Having annual boiler cover is a great way to spread the cost for your Worcester Bosch boiler service over the year. It can also help you to avoid any surprise costs for repairs and ensures you have a heating engineer on hand for your plumbing and heating needs. 

Paying for boiler cover also helps to ensure that your warranty stays valid as you will always have the next boiler service lined up for the next year. This is essential for ensuring you keep your Worcester Bosch boiler guarantee. 

One-off boiler servicing allows you to be flexible when your boiler is serviced. You aren’t tied to a contract, meaning you can easily choose at what point in the year you’d like to have your boiler serviced. However, we do still recommend you have your boiler serviced once a year. 

You should be aware that if your Worcester boiler needs to be repaired during the service, you may have to pay for additional parts and repairs; whereas, this would be covered under a boiler service plan.
