Steps to hiring a certified engineer to service your LPG boiler

Powered by liquid petroleum gas (LPG), which is stored in a tank, LPG boilers function differently from the average gas boiler linked to the mains.

However, just like any other type of boiler, an LPG boiler's annual service is strongly recommended. A service ensures your central heating runs safely and avoids breakdowns.

Here are some suggested steps to make sure you’re getting the right tradesperson for the job:

1. Check they are Gas Safe registered

This essential certification means they can legally work on gas appliances in the UK. You can check a person’s license by visiting the official Gas Safe Register website and entering their registration number.

2. Check they have the necessary training

Your LPG boiler service professional should have had extra training to install and service LPG boilers. This means they’ll know their way around the tank systems used to store the gas and the boiler device itself.

3. Check insurance

Working with combustible fuels and electricity can be dangerous. That’s why it’s vital your tradesperson has public liability insurance as a minimum.

Book a tradesperson through Checkatrade and be assured they have the necessary protection. All Checkatrade-approved tradespeople are covered by public liability insurance.

4. Check reviews

You'll want your tradesperson to service your LPG boiler promptly and efficiently. This is why it is often good to read reviews from previous customers to ensure your tradesperson offers a professional, reliable service.

We check the reviews on Checkatrade are from real people, and that trades meet our high standards.

5. Check and compare quotes

Getting at least three quotes from Gas Safe registered engineers is always wise to ensure you get a fair price for the job.

LPG boiler service near me: Frequently asked questions

Do I need to service my LPG boiler every year?

It is often recommended to have an LPG boiler serviced once a year. This will help to avoid troublesome breakdowns and also increase the lifespan of your appliance.

Ideally, book your service during spring or summer. That way, you can avoid an emergency boiler repair during the coldest months!

How much does an LPG boiler service cost in the UK?

The average boiler service cost is £100.

You’ll also have to factor in an annual service charge paid to LPG suppliers, known as the ‘standing charge’ or ‘tank rental.’ You’re looking at around £65 for a tank above ground, or £130 for an underground tank.

However, it’s worth noting the other factors impacting the cost. They include:

• Location – If you live off-grid in a rural location, your LPG boiler service provider may add on a call-out charge to cover travel time and fuel

• Boiler age – If your boiler is over ten years old, it may take longer to service due to general wear and tear

• Additional repairs – New parts and the time to replace them will add to your quote

How long does an LPG boiler service take?

An LPG boiler service should take around 45 minutes to one hour to perform safety and efficiency checks and clean the system. However, your service may take longer if repairs are needed.

What happens if my LPG boiler fails the service?

If your LPG boiler fails the service, depending on the severity of the issue, there are a few steps a tradesperson may recommend:

1. Minor Issues (low pressure or small leaks):

The boiler may still be safe to use, but the engineer will advise on repairs or adjustments that are needed.

Repairs must be carried out as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

2. Major Issues (gas leak, carbon monoxide risk, or faulty ventilation):

If your LPG boiler poses a significant safety risk, the engineer will issue a Gas Safety Warning Notice, and repairs must be made before the boiler is used again.

Using a faulty boiler is incredibly dangerous. Don’t be tempted to continue using it while you wait for repairs or attempt a DIY fix, regardless of the cost.

Don't forget – If your boiler is under warranty, repairs may be covered by the manufacturer.

3. Replacement:

If your LPG boiler is over fifteen years old and has failed its service, it may be time for a replacement. It will be more cost-effective in the long run than paying for more costly repairs.
