Oil Boilers
For homes that are not connected to the mains gas network, oil remains one of the most reliable and widely used heating fuels available. A modern oil boiler fitted by a qualified engineer delivers efficient, dependable heating and hot water, and with the right system in place, the running costs and performance can compare favourably with gas.
We have extensive experience fitting oil boilers for off-grid properties, and we understand the specific requirements that come with oil heating systems, including oil storage, pipework, flue design and OFTEC compliance.
Oil Boiler Installations
If you are replacing an ageing oil boiler, converting from a different heating fuel or fitting a boiler in a newly built property without a gas connection, our team can manage the entire process. We assess your property’s heating and hot water requirements, advise on the appropriate boiler type and output, and carry out the full installation from oil supply connection through to system commissioning.
Modern oil condensing boilers are considerably more efficient than older non-condensing models, extracting more heat from every litre of fuel and reducing the running costs of your heating system. We discuss the full range of options with you, including combi oil boilers for smaller properties and separate boiler and cylinder combinations for homes with greater hot water demands.
Servicing And Repairs For Oil Boilers
Keeping your oil boiler serviced annually is essential for maintaining its efficiency, safety and warranty. During a service, our engineers inspect and clean the burner, check the nozzle and electrodes, test the flue and combustion, verify the oil supply and check all safety controls. A well-maintained oil boiler burns fuel more cleanly, produces fewer harmful emissions and is far less likely to develop faults. If your oil boiler has broken down or is not performing correctly, we can also attend for repairs, diagnosing the fault and carrying out the necessary work to restore full operation.
