Oil Boiler Servicing
Why should an oil-fired boiler be serviced regularly? ('Please click here to view OFTEC Easy Guide link')
Due to ever increasing fuel and electricity prices, it is absolutely essential that your heating system is working efficiently.
We have invested in the very latest technology to help us service and set up your oil fired boiler so that it will give you the very best performance possible.
We have recently received national recognition from OFTEC for the quality of our work and are factory trained and approved by many of the leading boiler manufacturers.
Our thorough 27 point service schedule is designed to ensure that you will have a safe, efficient and reliable appliance. An annual service generally takes up to 2 hours to complete and includes:
- Visual inspection of oil storage tank.
- Inspection and testing of fire valve.
- Examination of joints and flue pipes for leakages.
- Visual examination of the flue termination.
- Test- run of the boiler for a short time to check operation.

Why choose an OFTEC registered technician?
OFTEC Registered technicians are oil specialists who have been trained on modern, high-performance appliances. They are recognised by Government 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 must 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 heating system, and on energy saving measures suitable for your home.
