Oil Boiler Installation

Many of our customers across Cheshire are in rural locations and have chosen an oil fired boiler for their central heating. Oil boilers require servicing & maintenance just as gas boilers do – keeping your oil boiler maintained helps it to stay free of breakdowns and operate efficiently, saving you money in the long run.

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.
