Gas boiler service: what the job involves
The annual service on a natural gas or LPG boiler by a Registered Gas Installer: cleaning and checking the burner, testing combustion and safety devices, and leaving a Declaration of Conformance. Landlords use it as their record that the boiler is safe.
How long it takes: Usually about an hour; longer for an older boiler, one that fails combustion checks, or when a part has to be fitted the same day.

What gas boiler service in Charlesland costs, and why
What jobs on Talqero came to
Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.
What affects the price
- Boiler type: combi, system or regular, and its age and make
- Natural gas or LPG
- Parts needed if the service finds a fault
- Additional appliances serviced at the same visit
- Winter demand and out-of-hours visits
- VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
County Wicklow: what the figures say
41.1% of homes in County Wicklow are heated by oil — above the national figure of 38.9%, the 23rd highest of the 26 counties.
Where an oil boiler is replaced by a heat pump, SEAI’s heat pump grant includes €2,000 for removing it; until then, an oil boiler needs its annual service like any other.

Rules and grants for gas boiler service
The rules in Ireland
Only a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) may install, replace, repair or service a gas appliance or gas pipework, and they must leave you a Declaration of Conformance.
- The rule comes from the Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2006 and is run for the Commission for Regulation of Utilities by Safe Energy Ireland.
- For every gas job the RGI must complete a Declaration of Conformance certificate and give you the original copy straight away; it confirms the work meets I.S. 813.
- Every RGI carries a photo ID card numbered R followed by four digits, renewed each year. Check it on the register at rgi.ie.
- Oil boilers are not covered by a statutory register; ask for experience with your make of boiler and a combustion analysis printout after a service.
What to ask before you choose
- For gas: may I see your RGI card, and will you leave a Declaration of Conformance?
- What exactly does the service include — combustion analysis, nozzle, filters?
- Is the part in stock, and what is the warranty on it?
- For a heat pump: are you on SEAI’s contractor register, and who does the technical assessment?
- Is VAT included?
What the work usually involves
- Annual oil and gas boiler services
- Power flushing a sludged heating system
- New radiators, valves and thermostatic controls
- Diagnosing a boiler that will not fire
What to put in your task
- The fuel: oil, natural gas or LPG
- The make and rough age of the boiler, from its label
- What is happening — no heat, no hot water, noise, a leak
- When the boiler was last serviced, if you know
