Like most working products, be it a car, washing machine or a boiler. Servicing is a tried and tested way of keeping a product working cleanly and smoothly during its working life.
Oil-fired appliances are no different. In most cases a service can help extend the life of a boiler and help it burn at it’s most efficient, giving you both piece of mind that you have a safe appliance as well as knowing that its running as efficiently as possible.
As well as checking immediate appliance controls and the oil tank, a service comprises of a full clean of the appliance, removing soot and sulphur deposits which form through combustion in the combustion chamber. We then clean the burner (the main engine), check all the parts for smooth operation and replace any parts if necessary, we then fire the boiler and carry out a combustion test, setting it up to burn as efficiently as possible.
We then leave a full service sheet with a printout of the combustion test results for your record.
We also send out Service Reminders at the scheduled service intervals to remind you when your service is due.

It is almost guaranteed that when the temperature is below freezing outside the heating will fail. Unfortunately at some point in an appliance’s life, failure is inevitable, which is why we will always try our best to attend any breakdown as soon as possible to get heat and warmth back to our customers.
We have a weekly order of spares throughout the year so as to make sure our van is stocked with as many parts as required to get you repaired as quickly and conveniently as possible. Not having to make return visits to fit common failure parts not only gets customers running and warmer quicker but saves money on costly double visits too!

When a boiler is installed either as a new installation or as a replacement, the appliance must be commissioned to comply with current building regulations.
This must be carried out by a qualified and competent engineer, and the purpose of commissioning is to check and certify that the installation complies with building regulations and that the boiler is set up to burn exactly how the manufacture intends it too.
A general commission makes sure all pipe work and flues are installed correctly as well as checking the combustion chamber and baffles in case of movement in transit, making sure all safety valves have been fitted where applicable and setting up the pressures and combustion levels on the burner.
As we are OFTEC registered this is a service we can provide although it is worth noting that any installation should be carried out by an OFTEC registered installer or have a Building Control Inspection prior to our attendance.
Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding this.
