- The faulty part — a thermostat is cheap, while a pump, diverter valve, fan or board costs more
- Boiler make and age — parts for older or less common boilers can be dear and slow to arrive
- Out-of-hours call-outs — boiler breakdowns in the evening, at weekends or in a winter rush cost more
- Landlord certificate — a gas safety record can be done with the boiler service for a combined price
- Region — Gas Safe engineers in London and the South East charge more per visit

How to pay less
- Book the boiler service in summer, when Gas Safe engineers are less busy and prices are keener
- If you let the property, ask for the boiler service and the annual landlord gas record on the same visit
- Compare a one-off boiler service with a cover plan, which can cost more over a year
Before you book
- Only a Gas Safe registered engineer may service or repair a gas boiler — check their ID card
- Many boiler warranties need a yearly service, so keep every service record
- If you are a landlord, gas appliances need a yearly check, and tenants get a copy of the gas safety record
- Ask for a written price for parts before the boiler engineer orders them
