In the UK, Vokèra boilers should be serviced every 12 months, with the service recorded to keep the boiler safe, efficient, and within warranty conditions.
Vokèra is a long-established boiler brand in the UK and Ireland, backed by Italian manufacturer Riello.
The range includes combi, system and open-vent boilers for homes, as well as light commercial models like the Condexa Pro. Each model has its own servicing requirements, so following Vokèra’s guidance is important.
How to book a Vokèra boiler service (and why it matters)
If you’re looking for a Vokèra boiler service near you, the easiest option is to book online with Boilers2go or set up a simple boiler service plan that spreads the cost and keeps you covered year-round.
For older Vokèra boilers, boiler cover can be especially useful. As parts age and wear increases, cover can help protect you from unexpected repair bills while still ensuring the boiler is serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
How Much Does a Vokera Service Cost?
Vokèra boiler service costs in the UK are generally very reasonable. Most homeowners pay around £90–£120 for a one-off annual service with a Gas Safe registered engineer, although prices can range from £80 to £150 depending on where you live and the type of boiler you have.
Many people choose a service plan instead, which spreads the cost at roughly £8–£15 per month and often includes the annual service as well as added peace of mind if something goes wrong. Either way, paying for a yearly service is far cheaper than dealing with a winter breakdown, higher gas bills, or invalidating your warranty.
Vokèra Boilers Covered for Servicing and Boiler Cover
Most Vokèra boilers, including both current and older models, can be serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with parts and support widely available across the UK.
This includes established ranges such as Vision Plus, Unica i, Evolve C, Compact A, Easi-Heat Plus and older Mynute models commonly found in homes.
Current boilers are also fully supported, including the Pinnacle; the Synergy, the Vibe MAX, and the Easi-Heat i.
With Vokèra providing long-term parts support, even ageing boilers can usually be maintained safely before replacement becomes necessary.
How often should a Vokèra boiler be serviced?
Once a year is the standard for domestic gas boilers in the UK. This applies whether your boiler is brand new or several years old.
For landlords, an annual gas safety check is a legal requirement, and combining it with a full boiler service is considered best practice.
What does a Vokèra boiler service include?
A typical Vokèra service involves checking the boiler, flue and condensate pipe, cleaning key internal components such as the burner and heat exchanger, and carrying out gas pressure and combustion tests. The engineer will also check system pressure, circulation and basic controls to make sure everything is running correctly.
Why servicing is so important
Annual servicing helps your Vokèra boiler run efficiently, which can reduce gas bills over time. It also lowers the risk of breakdowns and safety issues, particularly in winter. Just as importantly, many
Vokèra boilers come with 7–10 year warranties, and these usually depend on annual servicing being carried out and logged.
The simple takeaway
Whether you book a one-off boiler service online with Boilers2go, set up a service plan, or choose boiler cover for an older Vokèra boiler, staying on top of annual servicing is one of the easiest ways to protect your home, your boiler, and your budget.
Vokèra boiler FAQs: older boilers, replacements and upgrades
How do I know if my Vokèra boiler is considered “old”?
Most boilers are considered older once they reach 10–12 years of age. At this point, efficiency is usually lower than modern condensing models, parts can be harder to source, and breakdowns tend to become more frequent, even if the boiler has been serviced regularly.
Is it worth repairing an older Vokèra boiler?
If repairs are minor and infrequent, keeping an older Vokèra boiler going can make sense.
However, if you’re facing repeated faults or a single repair costing several hundred pounds, replacing the boiler is often more cost-effective in the long run, especially when improved efficiency and warranty cover are taken into account.
Can I get boiler cover for an older Vokèra boiler?
Yes, boiler cover is often available for older Vokèra boilers, even when the manufacturer’s warranty has expired. Cover can help manage repair costs and usually includes an annual service, which is particularly useful as boilers age and components wear.
Will a new Vokèra boiler reduce my energy bills?
A modern Vokèra condensing boiler is significantly more efficient than older models. In real terms, many homeowners see noticeable savings on gas bills after upgrading, especially if the old boiler was non-condensing or inefficiently controlled.
What size Vokèra boiler would I need as a replacement?
The right boiler size depends on factors such as the number of bathrooms, radiators, and how much hot water your household uses. Oversizing wastes energy, while undersizing leads to poor performance. A professional survey ensures the replacement Vokèra boiler is correctly matched to your home.
Can I replace an old Vokèra boiler with another Vokèra model?
Yes. Many homeowners choose to replace like-for-like with a newer Vokèra model because it keeps controls and layouts familiar while benefiting from higher efficiency, quieter operation, and longer warranties.
Do I need to upgrade controls when fitting a new Vokèra boiler?
In many cases, yes. Modern boilers work best with up-to-date controls such as programmable thermostats. Upgrading controls at the same time can improve comfort and efficiency and may be required to meet current regulations.
When is the best time of year to replace a boiler?
Spring and summer are often ideal, as engineers are less busy and you’re not relying on heating daily. Replacing a boiler before winter reduces the risk of a breakdown during cold weather and gives you time to choose the right system without pressure.
Can I switch from a system or open-vent Vokèra boiler to a combi?
Often yes, but it depends on your property and hot water demand. A professional assessment is needed to confirm water pressure, pipework suitability and whether a combi boiler will comfortably meet your household’s needs.
Should I replace my boiler before it fails completely?
Proactive replacement is usually less stressful and can be cheaper overall. Waiting until a boiler fails often means emergency decisions, limited choice, and higher costs, especially during winter when demand is high
