Why take a plan

Peace of mind for less than a coffee a week.

A boiler that’s serviced every year is safer, lasts longer and stays under warranty — and you’ll never have to remember to book it in. That’s what a plan really buys you.

Safe and certified

A full gas safety service and carbon monoxide check every year, signed off with a certificate for your records.

Warranty stays valid

Manufacturers require proof of annual servicing. We book yours in automatically and keep the record, so your cover never lapses.

Fewer breakdowns, longer life

A serviced boiler is far less likely to fail. Advanced adds a 5th-year strip-down to keep yours running for years longer.

Local, and 10% cheaper

Looked after by the same Gas Safe engineers, never subcontractors — plus 10% off any future repair or upgrade.

The cost of skipping it

A skipped service is the expensive option.

Most breakdowns we’re called to are on boilers that haven’t been serviced in years — and a lapsed service can void your warranty. Here’s how a year of going without compares to a plan.

No plan, no service What a bad year looks like
  • Missed annual service Warranty at risk
  • Winter breakdown repair £150–£400
  • Emergency call-out £156
  • Repairs at full price 0% off
One bad winter £306–£556+ inc. VAT

…and a lapsed service can void your manufacturer warranty.

On a Basic plan £9 / month inc. VAT
  • Annual gas safety service Included
  • Warranty kept valid Every year
  • All future work 10% off
  • Spread over 12 months From £9
Looked after all year £108 inc. VAT

Heating with oil?

What a service actually involves

Far more than a quick once-over.

A proper service is a methodical set of safety and maintenance checks — not a five-minute glance. Here’s what your engineer works through on every visit.

  1. Step 1

    We make the gas supply safe

    We test for leaks, check the boiler is getting gas at the right pressure, and confirm it's safely bonded — the foundation everything else sits on.

  2. Step 2

    We test what it burns and breathes out

    A flue and combustion test confirms fumes go safely outside and carbon monoxide isn't leaking into your home — the check that keeps your family safe.

  3. Step 3

    We clean and protect the parts that wear

    Sludge and a flat expansion vessel cause most breakdowns — so we clean the filter and trap, recharge the vessel and top up the inhibitor that stops corrosion.

  4. Step 4

    We check the whole heating system

    Not just the boiler — we bleed radiators for even heat, check your controls and look over the hot water cylinder and its valves.

  5. Step 5

    We sign it off and remind you next year

    You get a service certificate for your records and warranty, a reminder so next year's never missed, and 10% off any further work.

Have used Gavin at GH Heating for a few years for our boiler. Earlier this week I had a problem with our water supply upstairs and rang GH on the off chance they could help. Gavin arrived first thing next morning and identified the problem, went for a new part and fitted and tested system before lunchtime that day. Excellent service as always and would not hesitate to recommend him and his company.

Gavin has been servicing my gas boiler since he had to replace it's 38 year old predecessor, after I called him out to attempt to get it working. I now have to protect the 10 year warranty with an annual service including a filter change. Gavin offers a very reliable service, with a reminder and invitation to book a time slot to maintain the service history. I am always happy with the service offered and Gavin is a very friendly engineer.

Gavin was very helpful over the phone in our initial conversation about our broken boiler and was able to attend the next day. He was very thorough and even came back later in the day with another part that was needed to finish the job to fit around my commitments. He was polite and friendly and I felt very confident in his knowledge and skills. I would recommend Gavin to anyone who asked and won't hesitate to hire him again for future work.

Plan questions

Everything you might want to know.

Which plan is right for me?

Basic covers your full annual gas safety service and certificate. Advanced adds a 5th-year strip-down to extend your boiler’s life — it’s the one most homeowners choose. Ultimate also services an unvented hot water cylinder. Heat with oil? We have a dedicated oil plan. Not sure? Call us and we’ll point you to the right one, no pressure.

Does the plan cover breakdowns and repairs?

The plan covers your annual service and the maintenance listed for your tier — not the breakdown repairs themselves. But as a plan member you get 10% off all repair work, and because we already know your boiler we can usually get to you quickly. We’ll always agree the cost with you before any chargeable work.

What’s included, and what’s not?

Your plan includes the full annual service for your tier and 10% off any further work. Repairs, replacement parts and call-outs are charged separately — always with your plan discount applied. There are no hidden extras and nothing chargeable happens without your say-so.

Is there a tie-in?

Plans run as a monthly Direct Debit over an initial 12 months, so we can complete your first annual service. After that you’re free to cancel any time — no exit fees, no fuss.

Do I need a plan to book a one-off service?

Not at all — you can book a one-off service or repair any time. A plan simply spreads the annual cost, keeps your warranty valid and adds 10% off any further work.

How do I pay?

By monthly Direct Debit, from £9 a month. We set it up when you join and it renews automatically each year, so your annual service is never missed.
