  • What is an Oil Boiler Service?

    An oil boiler service is a manual inspection of your boiler carried out by a professional engineer. Before booking a service for your oil boiler, ensure that your chosen tradesperson is qualified to perform the inspection.

    At Certas Energy, our OFTEC registered engineers carry out all of our oil boiler services. During the service, our expert engineers will check your oil boiler for signs of wear. This proactive approach identities any potential issues that may need fixing for optimal performance.

 

 

  • How Often Should You Service Your Oil Boiler?

    You should get your oil boiler serviced annually, even if everything seems to be working correctly. Further inspection may reveal issues that are not immediately visible. If your oil fired boiler shows the following signs, it’s a good idea to schedule servicing sooner than expected:

    • Delay in heating
    • Increase in heating oil usage
    • Oil boiler lockout

 

 

  • Why Do You Need a Heating Oil Boiler Service?

    With so many tasks demanding attention these days, prioritising an oil boiler service might not be at the top of the list. But, the consequences of an oil boiler breakdown can stop everything in its tracks and put a freeze on your finances too. Here are just some of the reasons why it’s important to schedule your service:

 

When is the best time?

The autumn season can be quite busy for boiler services, as people switch their heating systems back on. The winter can be a very busy, and possibly expensive time with engineers focussing on breakdowns rather than routine work.

When arranging your boiler service, the summer months may be a better option, especially since you will need to turn off your boiler an hour before the service, leaving you without heating for a short time.
