Boiler Repair in Callington

Boiler repair in Devon typically ranges from £80 to £400 depending on the fault and parts required. Straightforward issues such as a faulty thermostat, pressure problem, or ignition fault are usually at the lower end. More complex repairs — replacing a heat exchanger or gas valve — cost more. We provide a fixed-price quote after diagnosing the fault, so you know the full cost before any work begins.

A standard annual boiler service takes approximately 60-90 minutes. Our Gas Safe registered engineer will inspect the burner, heat exchanger, and flue, check all safety controls, measure combustion efficiency, and clean components as required. You will receive a boiler service certificate on completion. If a minor adjustment is needed during the service, we carry it out at the same visit.

Signs your boiler may need replacing rather than repairing include: it is more than 12-15 years old; you are calling for repairs more than once a year; energy bills have risen without explanation; there are unusual noises; the flame is yellow or orange rather than blue; or your engineer has advised replacement is more cost-effective. Modern boilers are significantly more efficient than those installed before 2010.

A combi (combination) boiler provides central heating and hot water on demand from a single unit — no separate cylinder or cold water tank needed. It is ideal for smaller properties with one bathroom. A system boiler works with a separate hot water cylinder but no cold water tank, making it better suited to larger homes with multiple bathrooms. Heat-only (conventional) boilers work with both a cylinder and cold water tanks — common in older Devon properties, particularly those with Rayburn or AGA-style heating.
