The costs for periodic maintenance vary and are a maximum of €175-€200 per year. The costs depend on the type of maintenance contract. It is therefore good to adequately assess which type of maintenance contract is most relevant to you. This way, you may be able to save on maintenance costs.

Central heating boiler maintenance contract

A maintenance contract is a contract for the periodic maintenance of the boiler. As mentioned earlier, maintenance costs depend on the type of maintenance contract.

Need a new boiler?

After 12-15 years, boiler maintenance is no longer useful and a boiler must be replaced. This is because after this period, the boiler ages and no relatively high efficiency can be achieved. An old boiler therefore consumes 20% more gas than a new boiler. Replacing the boiler can ensure that a high efficiency of up to 99% can be achieved again. Not entirely unimportant, therefore, to replace the boiler when necessary.
