Just let him get on with it. He'll either do a good job or not. You've no way of knowing which unless you watch his every move and know all about gas stuff.

My old (2006?) Baxi 105HE combi boiler is going to be serviced, new guy, next week. I skipped last year's service after some disappointing work from the regular guy.



He has said he will do the following:



"Service includes a full strip down and cleaning of the burner and heat exchanger if required. I will also do a gas safe flue emissions check."



What should I be watching out for and what should I be asking?

A 15- year old Baxi 105HE is probably quite a rarity. The previous

105 pre-condensing version wasn't known for its longevity.

There's a section on exactly what your man should be doing.

The only possible addon costs are consumables like seals.
