What affects the cost of a combi boiler service?
What you pay for a combi boiler service will depend on whether you have a gas or oil boiler. Typically oil combi boilers cost a little more to service. Another factor that will affect a combi boiler service cost is competition from boiler engineers in your local area. If there are a lot of companies offering boiler servicing, competition will be higher and generally prices will be lower. Customers in rural areas where boiler engineers have to travel further may also find combi boiler servicing costs more than it would in a city due to the increased transportation costs
