Oil-fired boiler service costs
Looking through the paperwork for our 'new' oil boiler (installed 2000), I'm
slightly surprised by how much it's costing to service. For instance, this was 2014: Oil standard boiler service upto 44kW 81.00 Monday to Saturday additional labour 13.50 15mm glass rope (per mtr) PC194 3.12 Delavan 0.55 x 80 W Nozzle 005580W 13.00 Ecoflam Blast tube 72mm minor 1 61.29 EOGB (HRM type) filter element 15 micron 9.50 Flexible 890mm 1/4" F STR x 1/4" F ang biogreen mec oil line (D) EOGB (x2) 14.50 Thermecon Boiler / burner seal - small thick 13.63 Total ex VAT 224.04 20% VAT 44.81 Total inc VAT 268.85 It's a reputable company, so I don't think they're up to anything. But just curious as to whether this level of 'sundries' is usual for oil boilers? Having been on gas before where a service was a quick clean up of the innards followed by some checks, I'm surprised about all the extra bits. Other years are roughly similar, not always as much, but there's always something and not much commonality between years (unlike 'oil and filter' on a car). Is this normal, or is this a sign of an 'old banger' boiler which needs increasing attention to keep on the road? Thanks Theo |
