What the law says
Brussels
Inspection every year by a certified technician (L). An existing oil boiler may keep running if inspected; installing a new one is banned since 01/06/2025.
Flanders
From 20 kW: every year, by a certified technician. The certificate lands in your Woningpas.
Thinking ahead
Is your oil boiler over 15 years old? We tell you frankly what is best, and what a heat pump or a hybrid would change.

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.
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.
