What is a boiler servicing plan?
A gas boiler service plan, or boiler maintenance plan, is a contract agreed between a home or business owner and a plumbing and heating company.
The homeowner is charged a fee, usually paid in installments over the course of a year, for an annual boiler service.
Many people find that having a boiler service contract makes their lives simpler, spreads the cost in a manageable way, and ensures their boiler is serviced and working efficiently.
What to look for when choosing a boiler servicing plan
Identifying a local provider with an established reputation, like Bumblebee, is usually the best policy when it comes to choosing the right boiler maintenance plan.
What else should you bear in mind while researching? We recommend:
Keeping it local
Local companies usually provide a more responsive, cheaper, and friendly service than big national companies. Don’t just take our word for it, see for yourself by reading what our customers have said.
Cost
A boiler service plan should only cost as much, or less, than a one-off boiler service with the same company.
Reputation
Any company selling service plans should employ only Gas Safe-registered engineers as standard, but their team members should also be polite, punctual, and trustworthy. Customer reviews provide an insight into how a company operates, but you should also ask neighbours and friends for their recommendations.
What’s the difference between a boiler service plan and a cover plan?
There’s often confusion between cover plans and boiler servicing plans, but there are key differences.
Boiler cover
This is often sold as a comprehensive plan for your boiler, and usually includes an annual service along with maintenance work and emergency callouts.
The cost of boiler cover varies considerably depending on how comprehensive it is.
In many cases, it’s taken out as part of a broader package of home cover that also includes emergency plumbing and electrical work.
Boiler service
As described above, a boiler maintenance plan covers the cost of an annual service, and will be significantly cheaper than boiler cover.
With regular servicing, most domestic boilers are far less likely to require significant repairs.
However, a more extensive cover plan can give you added peace of mind – particularly if your boiler is older.

Do I need a boiler service plan to maintain my warranty?
Most warranties from boiler manufacturers will usually require the boiler is serviced at least once a year to remain valid.
This is to protect the company from claims caused by neglect.
If you opt not to have your boiler serviced, then the manufacturer returns the risk back to the customer who must cover the cost of any repairs in the event of a breakdown.
This doesn’t necessarily mean you must have a boiler service plan in place. However, the responsibility is yours to ensure your boiler is serviced regularly and on time.
A boiler maintenance plan makes things easier because you’ll receive a reminder when the date of a service is due while spreading the cost by paying in installments.
