Book my serviceVokera Annual Boiler Services
Another incredibly important part of a boiler warranty is an annual service, which is critical to extending the life of a boiler.
Vokèra recommends that customers schedule annual services, which include a professional engineer’s attention to the following:
- Check the overall performance of your Vokèra boiler, including the flue and ventilation
- Look at every component on the boiler for evidence of any water leaks
- Examine the boiler for any parts that may be damaged or worn
- Inspect and clean the burner and heat exchanger
- Confirm there is satisfactory ignition, flame picture and stability
- Assess the flame failure device
- Check and adjust the burner pressure if needed
- Review the operation of the boiler and its controls
- Reset the pressure of the expansion vessel if needed
- Analyze the flue gas combustion
As you can see from this extensive checklist, a boiler annual service requires a qualified heating engineer. Customers should never attempt to service their own units. The service must be done by a qualified professional who can carry out the inspection and repairs safely.

Vokera Boiler Service Costs (and Cost Savings)
You may be wondering about the costs associated with various boiler services and repairs, which are important to consider when you purchase one for your home. You will also want to familiarize yourself with the Vokèra warranty.
If you contact an engineer for a fixed repair on your boiler, you will likely pay between £90 and £120. There are price variations based upon where you live, the age and brand of the boiler, and the experience of the engineer performing the service.
Annual service plans for boilers would typically cost £100, which raises the concern for some cost-conscious customers that a fixed repair could cost less than a plan in some cases.
Still, an annual service plan offers peace of mind and possible savings in the long run, should your boiler end up beyond repair. If it does, check out the latest Vokera boiler prices here.
If you maintain your Vokèra boiler and ensure that it is serviced annual by professional boiler engineers, this product could last for 10 to 15 years. So servicing it via an annual service plan may extend the life of your Vokèra boiler, which would certainly cost less than replacing it.
Book my serviceVokera Boiler Efficiency and Your Bills
Another way a boiler service can save you money is with improved efficiency in your boiler.
A boiler running correctly and efficiently saves you money on your heating bills. This is another important reason to stay up-to-date with annual services and any needed repairs.
Taking the time to correct smaller issues before they escalate into larger ones saves you not only in repair costs but also in your heating bills.
Other Ways to Maintain Your Vokèra Boiler
In addition to staying on top of annual services and repairs, you can also aid the successful operation of your Vokèra boiler with a few proactive steps around your home.
Home and Pipe Insulation
If you keep your pipes and your home insulated, you will enjoy better performance from your boiler.
When cold temperatures cause pipes to freeze, the effects on the boiler can be problematic (or even disastrous). The frozen pipes create blockages that pressure or leak and in some cases a complete boiler breakdown.
Similarly, a poorly insulated home is just harder to heat, making it more difficult for your central heating system to work effectively. Proper insulation is key to the successful operation of your Vokèra boiler.
Pressure Checks
Even outside of professional Gas Safe engineer boiler repair services, homeowners can also occasionally spot-check the pressure on the Vokèra boiler.
Checking the pressure is simple enough. Your boiler has a pressure gauge, allowing you to see easily and quickly if there is a problem. The rule of thumb is if the needle is below 1, the pressure is too low. A needle above 2 tells you that the boiler pressure is too high.
In these instances, refer to your boiler manual for adjustment instructions. However, if you have any doubts or concerns about the adjustment, contact a qualified boiler service engineer.
