Key considerations for oil-boiler installations

  • Fuel tank – your fuel-storage tank must meet current regulations, be in sound condition, suitably located (typically outdoors) and accessible for delivery.

  • Flue and ventilation – the flue must be positioned correctly according to regulations to ensure safe evacuation of combustion gases; the boiler room must have adequate ventilation.

  • Sizing and controls – getting the right size boiler for your heating and hot water demand means better efficiency and comfort. Modern oil boilers should be paired with smart controls or thermostats to maximise savings.

  • Efficiency gains – Replacing an aging oil boiler with a modern, A-rated condensing oil boiler can significantly reduce your fuel usage and carbon footprint.

  • Maintenance – Annual servicing is crucial for oil systems to keep the burner, tank, and flue working safely and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
