Boilers don't need "servicing" they only need attention when they stop

well all the guy did was test stuff.

but everyone (including the lawyer when you want to sell) calls it
servicing

I think of servicing as per a car. Where it needs routine work like oil
and filter changes. I'd not call replacing a broken alternator (or
whatever) a service. It's a repair.

Basically, a service is needed to keep something in peak condition. If all
it consists of is looking at things, it's an inspection. And with a
boiler, is unlikely to show things which may or may not break in the next
year, unless you're very lucky.
