Boiler service in Malahide

Gas or oil: what Malahide homes run on
In the 2022 Census, 68% of the 24,215 households in the Howth–Malahide local electoral area heated their home with natural gas, 17% with oil and 10% with electricity. 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 Malahide homes are
41% of homes here were built before 1980 and 13% 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.
87% 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.
