Boiler service in Balbriggan
Balbriggan town is mostly on gas, and about one home in five across the wider area runs on oil. Tell us your boiler, your area and when suits. We ring you back with the price and book a registered engineer who covers Balbriggan.
Gas or oil: what Balbriggan homes run on
In the 2022 Census, 66% of the 13,563 households in the Balbriggan local electoral area heated their home with natural gas, 19% with oil and 8% with electricity. That's the second highest share of homes heated by oil of Dublin's 31 local areas. Across Dublin it's 9%, so there's a real chance your boiler needs an OFTEC-registered oil technician rather than a gas engineer.
Both get the same yearly service in principle: a clean, a combustion check and a written record. Oil boilers also get a new nozzle and filter. See what's involved for gas boilers and oil boilers.
How old Balbriggan homes are
28% of homes here were built before 1980 and 11% since 2011 (Dublin: 49% and 8%). Older homes are more likely to have an older boiler, a hot water cylinder and basic controls. Newer homes mostly have condensing combi or system boilers, which still need a yearly service to keep the warranty valid.
89% of homes in this area were built before 2011, the cut-off for SEAI's €700 heating controls grant (for homes with no or basic heating controls). There's no SEAI grant for swapping a gas boiler for another gas boiler.
