At repairmybaxi.co.uk we charge a fixed price of £60 to service any Baxi boiler.

All our engineers are highly trained and attend regular Boiler courses. we will also add you to our register and contact you when your service is due the following year. If you have any remaining warranty left on your boiler we can fill in your boiler benchmark and maintain your warranty.

How long should a Baxi boiler last?
Baxi boilers should last up to 20 years if they are properly serviced every year, your heating system is clean i.e. with our Magnaclense powerflush and regular dosing with inhibitor. Also when we repair your boiler we only use 100% genuine parts.
Should I replace my 20 year old boiler?
Once a boiler gets to around this age especially if it's not been correctly serviced and maintained its likely to become much less efficient and problematic. Around this time is when a manufacturer can legally stop making certain parts and things become 'obsolete'. This means a part that used to cost £100 could now be upwards of £250 and even be unavailable leaving you with our central heating and hot water and forced to replace your boiler.
Is it worth getting a new boiler?
If your boiler is more than 10 years old it might be worth replacing it especially if you've had a few parts replaced and you've lost confidence in it. Replace it with a boiler with a long warranty for extra piece of mind. If you've been happy with your old Baxi boiler be advised that we can fix the vast majority of problems and keep it running for you although it's probably much less efficient than a new boiler. Although getting a new one might seem like an expensive option, it could save you money in the long run by heating your house more efficiently and bringing your gas bills down.
