We had a gas boiler in a rental condo that seemed to have an ignitor problem at the worst times when the supply houses were closed...nights, Sundays, etc. So when we had the last failure, I bought a new and extra set of replacement parts and hung them over the boiler. That way, when they failed, I only had to have the service tech replace them. Solved a lot of problems with parts availability. If they used them, I just went out and bought a new set to hang.
I understand that today's condensing gas boilers should be serviced ever 5 years or so, but you should check with the gas/propane provider or your owners manual for tips as to what and when needs to happen. Better to spend a few bucks than run out of heat of the coldest day.
