Servicing

I am a member of the Oil Firing Technical Association OFTEC and a registered technician able to service, commission, install and repair all types of oil fired pressure jet heating appliances.

Safety of the boiler is of utmost importance, OFTEC standards and regulations are changing all the time, so when I call to service your appliance I will inform you of any changes needed to improve safety of the appliance or the oil storage tank.

 Below is a small list of parts that are advisable to be changed at service intervals.

Oil Nozzle - this should be changed annually to keep optimum appliance performance.

Flexible Fuel Pipe - this should be changed every 3 years to prevent any unnecessary oil leaks.

Fuel Filter - this should be changed / cleaned or checked annually to prevent fuel blockage to boiler.

Other things that need to be considered.

Regular servicing will extend the life of your boiler.

It may be a condition of your house insurance that you have adequate fire protection (remote firevalve)  and that if you make a claim your insurance may well be void or you are not covered, check your policy.

 

It is recommended by OFTEC that all oil boilers require a full service every 12 months (Kerosene 28 second), in order to:

Maintain optimum performance

Efficiency

Improve reliability

Keep the appliance safe

To ensure the appliance is working correctly which will ultimately save YOU money.

For a conventional boiler I charge £60 for a full service. For a combination boiler I charge £70 for a full service.
