Suppose your oil boiler is making unusual noises, failing to fire up, or not heating as efficiently as before.

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.

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.
