Oil Boiler FAQs

Common questions about oil heating systems in rural Devon

How often should I have my oil boiler serviced?

Oil boilers should be serviced annually by an OFTEC registered engineer. Regular servicing is not just a recommendation but a necessity for safety, efficiency, and to maintain manufacturer warranties. It's best to schedule your service during summer or early autumn before the heating season begins.

What are the signs my oil boiler needs replacing?

Key indicators include: your boiler is over 15 years old, frequent breakdowns requiring expensive repairs, rising fuel bills despite similar usage, inconsistent heating or hot water, unusual noises or smells, visible corrosion, or your engineer has identified serious issues. Modern oil boilers are significantly more efficient, potentially reducing your heating costs by 15-30%.

What maintenance can I do myself between professional services?

While professional servicing is essential, you can: regularly check your oil levels, monitor system pressure (for pressurized systems), bleed radiators to remove air locks, keep the boiler area clean and ventilated, check for leaks around pipes and tanks, and familiarize yourself with your boiler's normal operating sounds. Contact us immediately if you notice anything unusual.

How long does an oil tank last and when should it be replaced?

Oil tanks typically last 15-20 years, though modern bunded tanks may last longer with proper maintenance. Signs your tank needs replacing include: visible deformation, rust or corrosion, weeping or leaking oil, damaged supports or base, persistent strong oil smells, or if your tank is single-skinned and over 15 years old. Regulations now often require bunded tanks for environmental protection.

What are the advantages of oil heating for rural Devon properties?

Oil heating offers several advantages for rural Devon properties without mains gas: it provides consistent, powerful heating suitable for larger countryside homes; modern oil boilers are highly efficient (up to 95% efficiency); oil can be more economical than electric heating; it offers energy independence with your own fuel storage; and it's compatible with traditional heating systems often found in period Devon properties.
