What the law says

Brussels

Inspection every 2 years by a certified technician (GI or GII), who records the certificate with Brussels Environment. The tenant arranges it unless the lease says otherwise.

Flanders

From 20 kW: every 2 years, by a certified technician. The certificate lands in your Woningpas; a refused boiler still in use can cost you your fire insurance.

Our advice

Every year: it is most manufacturers' warranty condition, and 6 out of 10 gas boiler services replace a wear part, most often the burner gasket (€30 to €45 excl. VAT).

What we check at each maintenance

The points of the sheet our technicians fill in at every visit, one by one.

Appliance servicing

  • General condition checked: cleanliness, tightness, wear, operation
  • Casing and electronics dusted
  • Burner cleaned
  • Electrodes cleaned and set
  • Heat exchanger cleaned
  • Condensate drain checked, siphon cleaned and filled
  • Burner set to the manufacturer's values

Flue and air

  • Flue checked and cleaned, or the sweep's certificate seen

Hydraulics and controls

  • Circulator works
  • Thermostat talks to the boiler
  • Valves and air vents work, no leak

Safety

  • Measuring ports sealed again
  • Safety devices

The measurement

With the analyser, not by eye.

  • Combustion analysed before and after the work
  • CO, efficiency and flue gas temperature
  • Compared with the legal limits of your region
  • The analyser's report kept as proof
  • Ambient CO measured on arrival and in front of the appliance

One-off service or maintenance contract

Two ways to have your appliance serviced: on request, or without giving it another thought.

  • The same full service and the certificate
  • No commitment

Maintenance contract

We remind you before the due date and schedule the visit for you, at the pace of the chosen plan.

  • Reminder and scheduled visit
  • Fixed price per appliance, known in advance
  • History and certificates in your customer area

Why service

19

deaths a year in Belgium

Carbon monoxide is the first cause of fatal accidental poisoning. In Brussels, 2 to 3 people are poisoned every week, mostly by poorly maintained heaters and water heaters.

Poison Centre, 2018 to 2023 average; be.brussels, 15/10/2025

+5 %

more consumption

A poorly maintained boiler uses about 5% more: a well-tuned burner shows straight on the bill.

Flemish Energy and Climate Agency

2 years

of legal warranty, without proof of servicing

Without proof of servicing, the warranty often stops there. Vaillant grants its 3 extra years only to a serviced appliance, Viessmann asks for a maintenance contract.

Frequently asked questions

The official certificate: in Brussels, the document issued by Brussels Environment; in Flanders, the certificate recorded in your Woningpas. Keep at least the last two.

Preferably before winter: carbon monoxide poisonings peak from November to February, when appliances run the most.

Usually the occupant. In Brussels, the tenant arranges the inspection unless the lease names the owner or the property manager. In Flanders, the user is responsible and gives the owner a copy of the certificates.

That is no longer a service: see our page Urgent repair.
