An annual boiler service is the single most effective way to prevent a breakdown during a cold spell. It keeps the manufacturer warranty valid, spots small problems before they become expensive ones, and satisfies your insurance and landlord obligations.
Murphy's Plumbing carries out boiler services on all major brands including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Viessmann, and Ideal. The service includes a full safety inspection, combustion analysis, and a signed gas safety certificate.
For landlords, the gas safety certificate is a legal requirement under Irish tenancy law. Conor provides the certificate on the same visit, so there is no need to organise a separate inspection.

Frequently asked questions
- How often should I service my boiler?
- Once per year. Most boiler manufacturers require annual servicing to maintain the warranty. Skipping a service can also void your home insurance in some cases, check your policy.
- Do landlords need a gas safety certificate in Ireland?
- Yes. Under the Residential Tenancies Act, landlords must ensure all gas appliances are maintained and safe. While there is no single legally mandated annual cert for all tenancies, a current certificate protects you in any dispute and is required by most insurers.
- What if Conor finds something wrong during the service?
- He will explain the problem clearly, give you a price to fix it, and ask for your agreement before doing anything. There is no pressure to proceed on the same day.
- Can you service any boiler brand?
- Yes. Murphy's Plumbing services all major brands: Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Viessmann, Ideal, Baxi, and Potterton. If you are unsure of the make or model, Conor can look it up from the serial number.
- How much is a landlord gas safety certificate?
- The combined boiler service and landlord gas safety certificate is €120 per property. For landlords with multiple properties there is a discounted annual contract rate.
