Oil Boiler Service Kent

An Oil Boiler Service from experienced OFTEC trained engineers. 

Why Service an Oil Boiler Kent?

An oil boiler service is the process of completing striping the boiler down and cleaning all components and baffles, ensuring all layers of carbon are removed. We then move onto to the burner, stripping and cleaning it and replacing key consumable parts. We then go on to check your oil boiler for saftey issues, replacing seals and making adjustments to the combustion process. The process ensures that your oil boiler is kept running at its most efficient, preventing breakdowns and ensures your oil boiler will last as long as possible. Precise Plumbing and Heating recommend getting your boiler serviced yearly to ensure you oil boiler is working effectively. 

If your boiler is new and still under warranty, the manufactures will request that a boiler service is completed annually in order to protect the warranty.  

Whats included in an Oil Boiler Service Kent

The Oil Boiler Service starts by checking, testing and replacing key consumable components within the boiler. Not replacing these annually runs the risk of damaging the boiler and making it less efficient.

The next stage of the oil boiler service involves cleaning of the main combustion chamber. The chamber is known to soot up on oil boilers especially if it has not been burning correctly due to not being serviced. If this gets left to build up it will lead to the premature failure of the boiler. This also gives the Oftec trained engineer a chance to inspect the combustion chamber for damage. 

The final stage will be reinstating the boiler and checking and adjusting all tolerances to ensure the oil boiler is burning correctly.

How Much Does an Oil Boiler Service cost?

An Oil Boiler service completed by Precise Plumbing and Heating will only cost £120.00. This includes a new burner nozzle that is important gets replaced annually during an oil boiler service.  

How Often Should and Oil Boiler be Serviced in Kent?

To ensure that an oil boiler is running at its most efficient, it is important that it is serviced annually. Servicing an oil boiler every year ensures that not only does it run economically but also ensures that it is running safely. It ensures no leaks of products of combustion and ensures that the boiler is burning correctly and not giving off harmful and dangerous carbon monoxide. 

 

How Long Does an Oil Boiler Service Take?

When completed correctly, an oil boiler service is a lengthy process. It involves stripping the boiler down, thoroughly cleaning all parts, replacing consumable parts and making key adjustments. An oil boiler service also includes the inspection of the oil tank and the cleaning out of the oil filters. 

An oil boiler service in Kent can take between 1 and 2 hours. 

Can I Service My Oil Boiler Myself?

Legally you are allowed to service your own boiler. In fact you can actually service other peoples oil boilers as long as you are not charging for the service. 

Should you service your own oil boiler though? In short, no.  Oil boilers run on very precise settings that need experience and calibrated tools to ensure they are correct.

Harmful carbon monoxide could be being realised with no way of detection.

We had a issue with our Worcester boiler, which had an intermittent problem of overheating, making a banging noise and... then switching off. We were advised by British Gas to power flush the system and install a magna clean filter. British Gas quoted me for the power flush, which was rather pricy. We got a couple more quotes and Lucas accepted the job. He advised that the problem sounded like a flow issue and recommend the power flush, advising that manual intervention may be necessary to clear the blockage, recommending to have a filter fitted to keep the system clean after the flush. At the end of the work, Lucas sent the post power flush water quality test results, including the inhibitor, corrosion and ph levels, summarising that no further action was required.Lucas arrived on time, worked continuously throughout the day, was very professional and courteous also cleaning up after he finished work. The quote was very reasonable, considering how much British Gas had quoted.A couple of days after the job and the boiler is working as expected.I would highly recommend Lucas and Precise Plumbing and Heating.read more

Lucas was a lifesaver when our boiler broke recently leaving us with no hot water! He was quick to respond to our call... and provided an excellent service. He was so friendly, efficient and clearly explained what needed doing and why. He wasn’t the least bit disruptive and left the place immaculate. We were left feeling really reassured by his high quality work and confident that if anything further were to happen we could wholeheartedly rely on his services again - as should you! Thank you so much, Lucas!read more
