Do Oil Boilers Need Servicing?

Yes, oil boilers need to be serviced at least once a year to ensure they are running safely, efficiently, and reliably. An annual service is crucial for maintaining the boiler's performance, preventing expensive breakdowns, and keeping it from becoming a safety hazard.

An annual service is essential for your safety, as neglected boilers can develop dangerous issues, such as carbon monoxide leaks. 

• Efficiency:

  Regular servicing keeps the boiler working efficiently, which can lead to lower energy bills. 

• Reliability:

  Oil can easily become contaminated with water, which can clog fuel lines and nozzles, leading to boiler lockouts. An annual service includes cleaning and checks to prevent these issues. 

• Preventative maintenance:

  A yearly service can identify potential problems before they become serious, saving you money on future repairs. 

• Warranty validation:

  An annual service is often a requirement to keep your boiler's warranty valid. 

When you have an Oil Boiler service, this will usually include:

• A full visual check

• The Oil Nozzle will be changed

• System checks (visual and diagnostic)

• Any leaks or pressure related issues

• Cleaning of internal components

• Professional advice on system set-up and product use
