Oil Fired Boiler Servicing

For maximum efficiency, Oil Fired Central Heating Boiler Systems need to be serviced once per year. An efficient boiler system should use less fuel and save you money. Ensure that with your Oil Fired Boiler Service that you are not getting ripped off by Cowboy Operators by opting for an experienced engineer that is OFTEC Registered. 

Servicing

Oil Fired Boiler Servicing by an OFTEC Registered Engineer

I am a registered OFTEC Technician which ensures that you will receive quality work from an Oil Fired Boiler Servicing Specialist. OFTEC Technicians are trained on high performance modern Oil Fired Appliances and are recognised by Govenment as 'Competent' in the same way that CORGI Installers are competent to work with gas. Under the Building Regulations, before an Oil Fired Appliance or an Oil Storage Tank is Installed or Replaced, a Building Notice ust be obtained from the Local Authority. A fee is payable and the work should be inspected by the Building Control Officer. OFTEC Registered Technicians are exempt from this requirement and can self-certify work for which they are Registered. This saves you time and money. They can also give advice on how to improve the efficiency of your Oil Fired Heating System and on energy saving measures suitable for your home.

Oil Fired Boiler Efficiency

We have hi-tec equipment to give the customer a print out of their Oil Fired Boiler Efficiency. It is our focus to fine tune the cusomers Oil Burner to:

  • give the highest heat output;
  • burning cleaner;
  • reaching the set temperature quickly;
  • the thermostat can cut out.

The positive side effect of an Efficient Boiler will give good return in fuel savings.

"It makes good sense to have a regular Oil Fired Boiler Service".

Checking Oil Tanks

New legislation relating to contaminated land operates on a polluter pays principle. If your tank pollutes a neighbours property or a water course you could face potential legal action and the cost of the clean up. The Boiler Man surveys from the tank to the Oil Boiler to check for signs of rust, poor support and oil leaks. Checking for signs of possible leakage or future leakage can save a fortune on legal costs as well as replacing the Storage Tank and Lost Karosene Fuel Oil.

Oil Fired Boiler Burner Tripping

Sometimes the Boiler System will trip itself. When the boiler trips itself, it indicates that there is a problem in the Oil Fired Boiler System. If your boier has stopped operating unexpectedly, then it may have encountered a problem and tripped itself. In this case try to press the Big Red Reset Button on the front of the boiler. If the boiler trips again then there is a problem that needs urgent attention, so you should book an Oil Fired Boiler Sevice as soon as possible. Do not keep resetting the system as this may cause more problems which will cost more to repair. If the system works well after a reset then Servicing is not as urgent. Oil Fired Boilers will trip as a safety device when it thinks that there is a problem. There may be a fault or a sensor may be dirty.

Remember that Oil Fired Boilers should be Serviced Each Year for Optimum Performance and Maximum Fuel Efficiency.
