Oil boiler service (proper!) cost

MrThrifty

Does €125 seem fair game, assuming it includes nozzle and flexi line replacement, and a fancy printout at end?

A new nozzle would be standard , and every 2 yrs replace oil line ...€80-€100 .. so yeah €125 does seem a bit much .........

Also the chamber needs to be opened cleaned and the baffells rotated. Filter needs to be cleaned, seals need to be checked and replaced is needs, Flue needs to be checked and cleaned if needs. If a condensing boiler the trap needs to be cleaned, Electrical checks, check fuse.
After all that oil pressure needs to be checked and/or adjusted, check smoke number and then analyse to check combustion.

Check pump any controls on the system, check operation of remote acting fire valve if fitted, check high limit stat. and check condition of oil tank.

I charge less than €125 but that's just me but some friends charge more, but either way the customer gets a proper service.

If done proper then there is a lot of work done, a lot of time and expence spent by the engineer in having the knowledge and equipment to do it, and a lot of peace of mind for the customer.
