On an Annual Basis

It is typically recommended that your boiler is serviced on an annual basis. This is also a legal requirement for landlord's and their properties. Having your boiler serviced on an annual basis is regular enough to ensure that everything is in working order and to prevent any future problems and faults from occurring. 

In addition to an annual basis boiler service, it is usually the requirement of many boiler manufacturers and their offers with extended warranties and guarantees. This is most evident with newer boilers, where the manufacture requires an annual boiler service to stay compliant with the warranty/guarantee agreement. 

When Moving Home 

If you've recently moved house, it could be a good idea to have a Gas Safe registered engineer perform boiler servicing on the boiler in your new home. Why? Because it could be the previous owners hadn't had the boiler serviced for longer than the annual basis and thus, leaving any potential problems with the boiler behind - Ready for when you move in.
