What happens during an electric boiler service?
Although electric boilers don't have a burner, flue or gas supply, they still contain electrical and mechanical components that need regular inspection to keep your boiler running efficiently and safely.
Your engineer will usually check:
Electrical connections and wiring
Heating elements
Thermostats and temperature controls
Safety devices and pressure relief valves
System pressure and any signs of leaks
Internal components for wear, corrosion or damage
Final check of overall boiler operation and performance
They may also clean internal components (if the boiler manufacturer recommends it in the manual).

Is an electric boiler service worth it?
Electric boilers are more compact and have fewer moving parts than standard gas boilers, so they require less maintenance.
However, it's still important to book in an annual service. Benefits include:
Helps prevent breakdowns – Identifies small faults before they become costly repairs
Maintains performance – Checks key components are working efficiently and reliably
Extends boiler lifespan – Regular maintenance can reduce wear and delay replacement
Keeps warranties valid – Many manufacturers require annual servicing to maintain warranty cover
Improves safety – Checks electrical components and safety devices for faults or signs of wear
Provides peace of mind – Gives you confidence your heating system is ready for the colder months

Frequently asked questions
The average cost of a one-off electric combi boiler service is around £90. However, some homeowners choose to pay an annual charge for boiler and central heating cover instead. This typically covers you for any repairs or breakdowns, too. Read our boiler service price guide to find out more about the costs involved.
A heating engineer is the best person to service an electric boiler. They are competent in both electrics and pressurised hot water systems.
It's not a legal requirement to service an electric boiler. However, it's a good idea to get an annual service before winter to:
Make sure it's working safely, reliably, and efficiently
Increase your boiler's lifespan
Protect the warranty
Most manufacturers recommend servicing an electric boiler once a year. Annual servicing helps spot worn components before they fail, improves efficiency and can extend the lifespan of the boiler.
Servicing once a year is normally sufficient for an electric boiler, to make sure it's in optimal condition and able to work efficiently and safely.
Electric boiler servicing involves checking the wiring, cleaning the components, and pressure maintenance to ensure the boiler's longevity and safe operation. The whole process normally takes around an hour to complete.
A well-maintained electric boiler has a similar life expectancy to a gas boiler. Usually between 15-25 years, depending on the model you choose. It's worth noting, however, that with fewer moving parts, electric boilers tend to have fewer maintenance costs than gas boilers.
