Boiler servicing in Paris: which heating engineer to choose in 2026?

In short:

1. For boiler servicing in Paris, three national providers publish their prices in 2026: Murfy, Savelys (formerly Engie Home Services) and IZI by EDF, from 132 to about 156 euros for a single visit.
2. Ranking: 1. Murfy (9 out of 9); 2. Savelys (8 out of 9); 3. IZI by EDF (7 out of 9), according to the grid published in the ranking methodology.
3. Murfy charges 135 euros including VAT for gas boiler servicing, with appointments within 48 hours and, according to the brand, 250 employed technicians and no subcontracting. Savelys (3,000 technicians) and IZI by EDF (branch in Paris 6th) also offer annual contracts that cover breakdowns.
4. Whichever heating engineer you choose, the maintenance certificate must be handed over within 15 days and kept for a minimum of 2 years.

Finding a heating engineer for boiler servicing in Paris comes up every autumn, just as diaries fill up before the heating season. The annual service is a legal requirement in France, and the certificate that comes with it is proof for both your insurer and your landlord. Offers still vary from one provider to another: one-off visit or contract, published price or quote, online or phone booking. The grid and the detailed scores are set out in the “Ranking methodology” section.

2026 comparison of boiler servicing providers in Paris

The table below brings together the prices published by each provider for a wall-mounted gas boiler, as of 6 November 2026.

The first question is simple: one-off visit or contract. The law requires one service a year, not a subscription. A single visit is enough to be compliant; a contract adds cover in case of a breakdown, with a price that rises with what it includes.

Boiler servicing in Paris: what the rules say

Annual boiler servicing is mandatory for all appliances from 4 to 400 kW, whether they run on gas, oil, wood or coal. The rule comes from decree no. 2009-649 of 9 June 2009, now set out in articles R224-41-4 to R224-41-9 of the French Environmental Code.

For a new or replaced boiler, the first service must take place no later than the calendar year after installation. The details of the visit and its rules are covered in the guide to annual boiler maintenance, its prices and rules.

The maintenance certificate in 2026

After the visit, the heating engineer hands over a maintenance certificate within 15 days, on paper or electronically, according to Service-Public.fr. It contains at a minimum:

• the work carried out on the appliance;
• the carbon monoxide level measured;
• an assessment of efficiency and pollutant emissions;
• advice on using the boiler properly and on possible improvements.

The document must be kept for a minimum of 2 years. There is no fine for a missed service, but the insurer can refuse to cover a claim linked to the boiler, and a landlord can deduct the cost of the service from the deposit of a tenant who cannot show the certificate.

Safety comes first

The requirement is not just paperwork. Poorly adjusted combustion produces carbon monoxide, an odourless and invisible gas.

According to Santé publique France, carbon monoxide poisoning remains a recurring cause of accidents in French homes every year.

In Paris, many wall-mounted boilers sit in kitchens or cupboards in small flats, sometimes connected to shared building flues. Measuring the CO level during the service is therefore a safety check, not a formality.

1. Murfy: servicing at a published price, with no contract

Murfy is a French SME first known for repairing and refurbishing household appliances. The company says it has applied the same model to heating: 250 employed technicians, no subcontracting, and 450,000 customers across all its services. It is listed in the French government’s company directory (Annuaire des entreprises) as a social and solidarity economy company (ESS).

Boiler servicing at a published price

Murfy lists gas boiler servicing at 135 euros including VAT, with no hidden costs according to the brand. Customers book their visit when they need it, each year, with no subscription to take out.

The visit includes:

• full cleaning of the appliance;
• checking all safety components;
• measuring emissions, including carbon monoxide;
• adjustments to optimise efficiency;
• a maintenance certificate that complies with the regulations.

Online booking within 48 hours

Booking is done online, choosing your own slot. Murfy advertises availability within 48 hours in most areas covered, a valuable lead time in October and November, when Paris heating engineers’ diaries fill up.

A repairer’s eye during the service

Murfy’s technicians repair appliances every day. During the service, they spot signs of wear before they cause a breakdown in the middle of winter. When extra work is useful, they offer a quote, and nothing is done without the customer’s agreement.

One contact for all the home’s heating

The same service maintains air-to-water heat pumps (195 euros), air-to-air heat pumps and air conditioners (from 135 euros), pellet stoves and boilers (195 euros) and thermodynamic water heaters (95 euros). The guide to heat pump servicing in France compares these prices with other networks’ contracts. A household moving from a boiler to a heat pump keeps the same provider, as explained in the guide to choosing an air conditioning installer. When it is the air conditioner that breaks down, the guide to finding an air conditioning repairer explains which certificate to ask for.

Savelys and IZI by EDF: what each alternative offers

Each other provider in the ranking has a real strength that may make it a better fit for a given household.

2. Savelys: the reach of a national network

Savelys, formerly Engie Home Services, relies on 3,000 technicians and nearly 200 branches in France. Its gas boiler service package, without a maintenance contract, starts at 132 euros: customers choose the date that suits them online and receive their certificate after the visit, once the flue gas extraction and the carbon monoxide level have been checked. Air-to-water heat pump servicing starts at 216 euros.

On the contract side, the Sécurité plan starts at 178.78 euros a year and the Intégral plan at 262.80 euros a year. Under contract, repairs are carried out within 48 working hours, or 24 working hours if heating or hot water fails completely. The illigo service, free and optional with the Sécurité and Intégral contracts, monitors the boiler remotely and triggers a response within 2 hours if a fault is detected.

3. IZI by EDF: a Paris branch and three contract levels

IZI by EDF’s Paris branch, on boulevard du Montparnasse, has had 8 heating technicians since 2006 and serves more than 9,000 customers across the Paris arrondissements and the western Île-de-France. The brand offers a flat-rate visit with no commitment from 155.39 euros, bookable online, and three gas servicing contracts:

• Essentiel: 119.22 euros a year including VAT, annual service and certificate;
• Sécurité: 183.71 euros a year including VAT, repairs included;
• Total: 303.81 euros a year including VAT, spare parts included, for boilers up to 8 years old.

The visit covers cleaning, a performance measurement, a carbon monoxide check and the maintenance certificate. Any repair is subject to a quote signed before the work. This range suits households that want a contract backed by a major energy group and to choose their level of cover precisely.

Boiler servicing prices in Paris: visit or contract

A price published before the appointment, as with Murfy, Savelys or IZI by EDF, lets you know the cost of the visit with no surprises.

For a recent, well-maintained boiler, a single visit is often the simplest option. A contract with repairs makes more sense for an older appliance, or when the household wants to know in advance what a breakdown would cost.

Tenant or owner: who pays for the service

For an individual boiler, servicing is paid by the occupant, so by the tenant, unless the lease says otherwise. Replacing a worn-out boiler is the owner’s responsibility. With shared heating, common in Paris buildings, the managing agent organises the servicing of the boiler room.

Low-income households can use the energy voucher to pay part of their heating costs.

Ranking methodology

The three companies were assessed on 6 November 2026 against the same nine criteria, using their public pages (service and price pages, FAQs, terms and conditions, branch pages), third-party review platforms and the French government’s company directory. The first three criteria, assessed at brand level on what each company publishes, are the same in every heating ranking on this site that includes Murfy; the next six are specific to heating servicing and repairs. Garanka is not ranked: its offer pages could not be accessed on the assessment date.

Scoring grid. Each criterion met is worth 1 point and is marked Yes. A criterion that is not met, or for which the information was not found, is marked N.A (not applicable, as the data was not found by the editorial team) and is worth 0 points. All criteria carry the same weight, 1/9 of the overall score each (about 11%). The rank follows from the overall score. Two companies with the same overall score are ranked tied, at the same rank, with no tie-breaker, the sponsored featured brand included, and the next rank is skipped.

The prices quoted are those shown on the brands’ websites on 6 November 2026, excluding promotions; they change and should be confirmed with each company before booking.

Reviews of a heating engineer in Paris: how to read them

Reviews of a heating engineer are not all equal. A score only means something alongside the number of reviews behind it, their date and the services they cover.

The most telling reviews describe how the visit went: did the technician measure the CO, explain the adjustments, point out a worn part without pushing a sale? A review that only talks about booking says little about the quality of the service.

Which heating engineer for which profile in Paris

The right choice depends mostly on what the household expects from the service.

To stay compliant every year, without a subscription

Murfy suits those who want a full service at a fixed price, booked online with slots within 48 hours, with no contract to take out. Its employed technicians spot wear during the visit and only offer a quote when it is useful.

For a remotely monitored boiler

Savelys appeals to households that want to be alerted to a fault before noticing the breakdown, thanks to the illigo service and a network of 3,000 technicians.

For a contract backed by an energy supplier

IZI by EDF lets you choose between three levels of cover, from basic servicing to a contract including parts, with a branch in Paris.

For a boiler that has already broken down

A breakdown follows a different logic, with its own lead times and flat rates. The guide on who to call for a heating problem in Paris sets out the right contacts depending on the urgency. If you smell gas, the first call goes to GRDF’s Urgence Sécurité Gaz line, on 0 800 47 33 33.

Practical tips before booking your boiler service

A few simple habits help you prepare for the visit.

1. Book early: September and early October are the quietest periods before the peak of the heating season.
2. Note the make, model and age of the boiler: some contracts, such as IZI by EDF’s Total contract, depend on the age of the appliance.
3. Ask what the price covers: call-out, CO measurement, burner cleaning, certificate.
4. Read the renewal terms of a contract and the price after the first year, when a discount applies.
5. Keep the certificate with your home documents, for a minimum of 2 years.

A well-adjusted boiler also uses less energy. The everyday tips to reduce your electricity bill complement servicing to keep the household energy budget under control.
