Oil Boiler Services Wetherby

Your boiler is an integral part of your family home. It provides you with both hot water and heating. It is often something we all take for granted but no one wants to have to deal with a breakdown in the cold winter months. 

Whilst the vast majority of homes in the UK feature gas-powered combi-boilers, this is simply not an option for those of you who reside off-the-grid. In this case, you’ll need to rely on oil or electricity to fuel your home’s heating source, and it’s fair to say that the former is far more cost-effective and capable of reducing your monthly energy bills.

However, it’s important to have your oil-fired boiler serviced regularly if you are to optimise its longevity and performance over time. Here at Green and Reliable Heating, we have a full team of Oil Safe Assured boiler engineers, across Wetherby, on hand to carry out any oil boiler servicing.

Benefits of having Oil Safe Assured heating engineers service your oil boiler

1. It can Increase the Level of Heat Produced by your Boiler

Over time, excessive smoke and partially burnt fuel deposits can cause soot to form within the boiler heat exchanger. 

This instantly restricts the amount of heat that can be transferred into the water heating system, although the impact of this may not be felt immediately within the home.

However, having your boiler serviced annually provides an opportunity for an Oil Safe Assured engineer to clean the heat exchanger and guarantee a viable supply of heat and hot water throughout the property. Naturally, this will lower your energy bills.

 2. It can Improve the Efficiency of your Oil Boiler

Oil nozzles also perform an important role in your boiler, as they regulate precisely how much oil passes through the burner at any given time.

These nozzles are consumable items that can wear considerably over time, affecting combustion and dramatically reducing the efficiency of the boiler unit.

If this issue is not addressed and the oil nozzles are not replaced as and when required during an annual service, they could accumulate soot in the heat exchanger and cause too much fuel to pass through the burner. 

This makes your boiler extremely inefficient, increasing your carbon footprint. Our Oil Safe Assured boiler engineers will make sure every component of your boiler is fully functional.

 3. It can Improve the Performance of the Oil Storage Tank

Oil-fired boilers also come with separate boiler tanks, which also require maintenance to ensure that they’re effectively holding and supplying the unit with a filtered and usable fuel supply.

After all, water has been known to build up in oil storage tanks over time, and this can cause numerous issues including frozen pipes and blocked filters should the temperature plunge low enough.

Your Oil Safe Assured heating engineer will check on the oil storage tank as part of an annual service, whilst they will extract any water from the tank and filter its elements to optimise performance and efficiency!

4. Your Boilers Warranty

Our team of Oil Safe Assured engineers should annually service your boiler because it will keep the warranty valid. The warranty period of a new boiler is around ten years. This will become void if a service is not carried out every twelve months. You will likely have to pay full repair costs if a yearly oil boiler service has not been carried out.
