Servicing & Repairs
Much like a gas boiler, you need to book an oil boiler service annually to ensure your system is running as smoothly as possible. Grit, dirt and water can get into your oil tank, which if unnoticed, can work its way into your boiler and cause permanent damage.
We always recommend having a service for all your oil-fuelled appliances, as many issues are not visible on the outside of the boiler or tank. The harsh winter months are also a contributing factor to potentially damaging your tank and reducing the efficiency of your heating oil, so it’s particularly important to get it serviced when the temperature starts to drop.
What is included in a service?
In your oil boiler and tank service, the engineer will test the efficiency of your system both internally and externally. Our OFTEC accredited oil heating engineers are fully qualified and trained in thoroughly examining your boiler and tank for any signs of damage.
The engineer will inspect the full tank and boiler, looking at areas such as:
- Any signs of leaking from the pipes, such as staining or discolouration
- The oil tanks exterior and interior, checking for water, debris and cracks
- Clean internal components, such as the heat exchanger
- Conduct a full controls check to ensure the system is working correctly
- Check the combustion chamber for oil-flooding
- Inspect the oil boiler nozzle for rust and damage
- Discuss any issues you've found with your system, like slow start-ups
- Switch on your oil boiler and check everything is running smoothly
Oil boiler and tank repairs
If you’re concerned about your oil boiler or tank, it’s important to get it checked as quickly as possible. In most cases, the issues can be solved quickly and may just need a small, inexpensive part replacing. However, sometimes the issue can be derivative from a much bigger issue, which will need immediate attention.
Our OFTEC registered heating engineers are available for emergency call-outs, phone consultations or conversations via email to assess your boiler and tank problems.
