Boiler service and replacement cost in Ireland
A boiler service is routine maintenance. A boiler repair fixes a fault. A boiler replacement is a bigger heating project that can include controls, flue work, pipework, disposal and sometimes electrical changes. Mixing these up is one reason homeowners get confused by prices.
Irish boiler service guides commonly place gas boiler servicing around €70–€150, with many providers around €80–€100. Gas boiler replacement can start around the low thousands, with provider pricing advertised from about €2,999 before any extra works.

When a service is enough
A service makes sense when the boiler is working but due its annual check, under warranty or performing a little less efficiently. The engineer checks operation, safety and condition, then flags any repair needs.
When replacement may be better
- The boiler is old and unreliable.
- Parts are becoming hard to source.
- Repairs are frequent or expensive.
- Heating bills are rising despite normal use.
- You want better controls or a more efficient system.
