Boiler service, maintenance and repair in Louth
Whether you are on gas in the middle of Drogheda or on oil out the country beyond Ardee, boilers are serviced, repaired and replaced right across County Louth and into Dublin.
You must have your boiler serviced at least once a year as per your boiler manufacturer’s recommendations. There are three good reasons for that, and only one of them is the paperwork:
- Safety. A yearly service is when a dangerous fault – a cracked heat exchanger, a blocked flue, a carbon monoxide risk – gets found before it hurts anybody.
- Cost. A boiler that is clean and correctly set burns less fuel. A neglected one quietly costs you money every single month.
- Your warranty. Most manufacturers will not honour a warranty claim without a record of annual servicing.

Why choose Louth Plumbers for your boiler servicing?
Straight with you about what your boiler actually needs. Ask us about registrations and insurance for your job.
Oil boiler service & repair
Nozzle, filter, combustion set-up and efficiency test on oil-fired boilers – the standard set-up for most rural homes across Louth.
Boiler replacement
When repairing an old boiler stops making sense, you should be told so. A new condensing boiler is sized, supplied and fitted a new condensing boiler and leave the system balanced and working properly.
Boiler breakdown service
No heat or no hot water is treated as urgent. See boiler repair and our emergency plumber page.
Boiler maintenance
Planned servicing for landlords and property managers, with a written record for every property. Ideal alongside our commercial plumbing cover.
Controls & efficiency
Thermostats, zone valves and timers set up properly, so the boiler only fires when it needs to. Often the cheapest saving available on an older system.
Signs your boiler needs attention
Boilers rarely fail without warning. If you notice any of the following, get it looked at before it becomes a cold week in January:
- Radiators cold at the bottom or top
- Banging, kettling or gurgling noises
- Pressure dropping and needing frequent topping up
- Hot water that runs warm then cold
- A yellow rather than blue flame
- The boiler locking out or needing resetting
- Heating bills creeping up for no reason
- No service record in the last twelve months

Boiler questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a boiler be serviced?
You must have your boiler serviced at least once a year as per your boiler manufacturer’s recommendations. Most people book it in late summer or early autumn, before the heating goes on for the winter.
How much will I save if I change my old boiler to a new condensing boiler?
It depends on how old and how efficient the current boiler is. An old non-condensing boiler wastes far more heat than a modern condensing one, so the saving is usually biggest on the oldest boilers. See boiler replacement.
Do you service oil boilers as well as gas?
Yes, both gas and oil boilers are serviced. Oil is the more common set-up in rural parts of Louth. Ask us about registrations for your job.
How long does a boiler service take?
A straightforward annual service usually takes under an hour. If a fault is found, you are told what it is and what it costs to fix before anything is done.
How is a boiler call-out charged?
Ask for the price before any work starts. The plumber will tell you how the job is charged, including any call-out charge, before anything is done.
Is it worth repairing an old boiler or should I replace it?
It depends on the age of the boiler, what has failed, and whether parts are still available. As a rule of thumb, once a boiler is well past ten years old and the repair is a large fraction of the cost of a new one, replacing it usually works out better. Ask for both prices and decide.
