How can you increase your oil boiler's efficiency?

Get in annually serviced

Annual boiler service is one of the most crucial methods for increasing boiler efficiency. For optimal performance, oil boilers need to be cleaned and maintained. Not only would a dirty or broken boiler be less effective, but it might also be unsafe. You should have your boiler serviced by an Oil Safe Assured professional. This is will also prevent any chances of unexpected breakdowns, saving you lots on any costly repairs. 

Carry out regular maintenance

For a number of reasons, keeping your oil boiler maintained is crucial. A well-maintained boiler will not only be more effective but operating it will be safer and will continue longer.  Your boiler will start to deteriorate if you don't take care of it. 

This may result in poorer performance, higher maintenance expenses, and potentially a shorter lifespan. You can keep your boiler operating at its peak for many years by keeping it well-maintained and avoiding these issues.

Gain better control of your thermostat

You can be overpaying for heating if your thermostat isn't being used to its maximum capacity. The efficiency of your boiler may be improved by controlling your thermostat by lowering the temperature a few degrees and maintaining a reasonable setting. 

Installing a programmable thermostat or a smart thermostat is a great approach to boost efficiency if you want to go a step further. Your home's temperature will be automatically adjusted by a thermostat according to your schedule, which can help you save energy. For instance, you may set the thermostat to lower the heat until you arrive home if you know you'll be gone from the house for the most of the day. This will assist you in saving energy and lower your heating costs.
