I recently contacted Add Heat to fix a boiler issue in my home, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service. From the initial phone call to the completion of the job, the experience was seamless.The engineers were punctual, arrived on time, and immediately assessed the problem with a professional attitude. They explained the issue clearly and provided a detailed breakdown of the potential solutions, making sure I understood the costs and benefits of each option.The quality of the work was outstanding. They were very thorough, ensuring the job was done right the first time. What I appreciated most was that they didn’t cut any corners—they tested everything to make sure the problem was completely resolved before leaving. My heating system is now working better than ever!Throughout the process, communication was clear and friendly. They took care to keep the work area clean and left my home as tidy as they found it.I would highly recommend AddHeat to anyone in need of reliable, high-quality service. It’s rare to find a company with engineers who are not only skilled but also dedicated to customer satisfaction. I’ll definitely be calling them for any future work.

UFH system throughout a large house built in the 70s. Excellent communication and workmanship. Great end result too with a now warm house that was previously cold and damp due to a dated warm air system. Would highly recommend.

The Addheat team were incredible.Prompt, hardworking, helpful and importantly for me... Clean and Tidy workers! So happy with our New boiler, which they relocated (with seeming ease) from an outside building, to the other side of the house, in just a day and a half!We left them a Key on day 2, as we had to go into work - Totally trustworthy Guys!

How Do Oil Boilers Work?

Oil boilers burn oil for fuel, instead of gas or LPG. They then use this to provide heat for a central heating system in much the same way as any other boiler does. Oil can power combination heating systems, regular conventional or system boilers and take their water supply from the mains or a storage tank.

Oil central heating systems heat radiators, showers and hot water taps in just the same was as other boilers, efficiently delivering heat and hot water around the home.

Oil fired boilers require an oil tank to store the oil. The tanks will need regular filling from an oil tanker which will use a hose to fill the oil tank from the truck. How often the tank needs filling will depend on how much oil you use and the size of the tank, so be sure to take advice on this before installation.

Oil tanks need to comply with UK building regulations. OFTEC (Oil Firing Technical Association) provide details on current regulations for oil fired central heating systems.

How Far Does my Oil Tank Need to be From my House?

Your oil tank needs to be situated as follows:

8m away from non-fire rated eaves of a building
8m away from a non-fire rated building or structure (e.g. garden sheds)
8m away from openings (such as doors or windows) in a fire rated building or structure (e.g. brick built house/garage)
8m away from oil fired appliance flue terminals
760mm away from a non-fire rated boundary such as a wooden boundary fence
600mm away from screening (e.g. trellis and foliage) that does not form part of the boundary

More information about domestic oil tanks can be found on the OFTEC website.

Oil prices can fluctuate, so it’s best to shop around for the best deal for your oil supply.
