    Oil Fired Boiler Services and Repairs

    At North Glasgow Boiler Repair, we provide an extensive range of services for oil boilers. Regularly servicing oil boilers is crucial to maintain efficiency and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

    Suppose your oil boiler is making unusual noises, failing to fire up, or not heating as efficiently as before. In that case, our heating engineer will assess the issue and ensure your boiler operates at its peak performance. You should also get an annual boiler service, which includes checking the burner, heat exchanger, and other essential components to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

    Older oil boilers can be costly to repair due to expensive parts and complex work. We offer transparent quotes for either repairing your existing boiler or replacing it with a modern, energy-efficient model, allowing you to choose the best option for your needs. Our quotes are valid for 30 days and come with no obligation, giving you ample time to make an informed decision.

    When Should I Arrange for Oil Boiler Services

    An annual oil boiler service is crucial for maintaining efficiency and preventing unexpected costs. By keeping your boiler in good working order, you can reduce fuel costs and avoid expensive repairs. We recommend servicing all your oil-fired appliances and associated equipment at least once a year, though it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s specific guidelines.

    This time-efficient process enhances the safety and efficiency of the boiler, helping to prevent potential issues such as increased costs and serious damages.

    Keep Your Oil Boiler Warranty Valid

    To keep your oil boiler warranty valid, regular servicing is usually a requirement. Manufacturers often stipulate that annual service is necessary to ensure the warranty remains effective. Skipping these services can void your warranty, leaving you unprotected against potential issues.

    So get us to help keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid. Our experts are here to provide advice and service to ensure your system operates smoothly.

    We had just got in from holiday in the evening to find the boiler wasn’t working. On the off chance, we tried some 24-hour numbers and struck lucky, it was fixed within an hour for a fair price.

    Why Does My Oil Boiler Need Servicing?

    Regular servicing of your oil boiler is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to prevent unexpected and costly repairs and saves you from nasty surprises. While checking your boiler periodically might seem unnecessary, neglecting maintenance can lead to more significant problems that are far more expensive to fix or even require a full boiler replacement.

    By having your boiler serviced by an OFTEC-registered engineer, you can ensure it operates efficiently, reducing your heating bills and providing peace of mind regarding home safety. During regular servicing, check the oil line to prevent issues like water ingress and frozen water, which can lead to inefficiency and boiler lockout.

    Need a New Oil-Fired Boiler? We Got You Covered

    When it’s time to replace your old oil-fired boiler, North Glasgow Boiler Repair is here to help. Our team provides excellent installation services for new, energy-efficient oil boilers.

    If your property in Glasgow is off the national grid and you’re seeking an efficient and reliable heating solution, an oil-fired boiler might be the perfect choice. Ideal for off-grid properties that are not connected to the main gas supply, oil boilers provide a dependable source of heat and hot water.

    Oil boilers require the installation of a storage tank to hold the fuel. These tanks can be installed either underground or overhead, depending on your property’s space and accessibility. An underground tank is often preferred for aesthetic reasons, keeping your landscape uncluttered and maintaining the property’s visual appeal. On the other hand, an overhead tank is generally easier and more cost-effective to install and maintain.

    Our Gas Safe Registered engineers will guide you through selecting the right boiler for your home, ensuring it meets your specific needs and budget.

    We offer a hassle-free installation process, from removing your old boiler to setting up and testing your new system. Our commitment to quality service means you can trust us to handle every detail with care and precision.

    FAQs

    How much does it cost to service an oil boiler?

    In Glasgow, the cost to service an oil boiler typically ranges from £70 to £120, depending on the complexity of the system and any additional work required. Give us a call to confirm the charges.

    How often should an oil boiler be serviced?

    It’s recommended to service your oil boiler annually. An annual service is crucial for maintaining efficiency and safety. Regular servicing ensures the boiler operates efficiently and safely, and it can help prevent breakdowns and extend the lifespan of the boiler.

    Why are oil boilers being phased out?

    Oil boilers are being phased out due to their environmental impact. They produce higher carbon emissions compared to other heating systems like gas or electric boilers. The UK government is encouraging the transition to greener alternatives to reduce carbon footprints and meet climate change targets.

    Can a plumber service an oil boiler?

    Only plumbers who are also qualified heating engineers and certified by OFTEC can service oil boilers. It’s important to ensure that the person servicing your boiler has the appropriate credentials to work on oil-fired systems.

    Is it a legal requirement to service an oil boiler?

    While it is not a legal requirement to service your oil boiler annually, it is highly recommended. Regular servicing ensures the boiler runs efficiently and safely. However, if you are a landlord, you are legally required to ensure all heating systems are safe and maintained for your tenants.

    What is the life expectancy of an oil boiler?
