In principle, an oil boiler works in the same way as a gas boiler in that it uses fuel to create hot water. This hot water is then distributed to the radiators around the house and is used to create warmth. The same hot water is also supplied to the taps in the house.
The key difference between oil and gas boilers is the fuel used. Rather than being connected to a gas supply, an oil boiler is connected to an oil tank, where fuel is stored until it is needed.
Oil boilers are designed to be robust and durable. Often, they can last for up to 15 years, or even longer if they are well maintained. However, there will come a point in every oil boiler’s life when it stops functioning as it should and therefore needs to be replaced. Clearly, if your appliance stops working and can’t be fixed, you’ll need to get a new one. However, there are many other less obvious signs that you could benefit from a replacement oil boiler. These include:
Not supporting smart technology
In England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, boilers need to be condensing unless your installer requests a formal exemption from OFTEC.
Condensing boilers utilize heat that would be wasted in traditional non-condensing appliances. The latent heat from the exhaust gases is extracted and re-used, making these appliances significantly more efficient than older models.
The cost of an oil boiler installation will depend on a range of factors, including the complexity of the job. For example, if you will require a flue to be relocated or new pipework or extra radiators to be fitted, you can expect to pay more. Replacing a water tank will also cause the installation costs to increase, and if you need your heating system to be power flushed, this will add to the price too.
Simple installations can generally be completed within a day, but more complex jobs can take longer. our engineers will be able to give you a schedule before they start work so that you know what to expect.
Our engineers will bring all the materials they need to complete the task as efficiently as possible, and they will cover your floors and surfaces as they work to protect them. They will also clean up after themselves.
Once the work is completed, they will provide you with the relevant certification for your new appliance and they will run you through the controls. Make sure you pay attention to this as it will help you to operate your new oil boiler as efficiently as possible.
Once you’ve installed a new oil boiler, you’ll no doubt want to ensure it continues to operate effectively and efficiently for as long as possible. The key to this is regular servicing. This will help to keep the appliance in excellent condition. There are other useful pieces of advice to bear in mind too.
A regularly-serviced boiler can save you money in the long run, having an appliance serviced regularly provides the chance to spot small issues before they get a chance to turn into major problems. Neglecting to arrange a service for your heating appliances could increase the risk of needing repairs later and costing more money.
