Oil Boiler Servicing

Armstrong Plumbing and Heating Ltd offer oil boiler servicing in York, Tadcaster, Wetherby and the surrounding areas.

While oil-fired boilers may be increasingly popular in the UK, it can be slightly more challenging to identify reputable and local engineers with the requisite skills to complete even simple repairs and services.

This is because oil-fired boilers are completely different to gas alternatives, while qualified engineers must hold accreditation from the necessary regulator and governing body if they’re to be trusted to work in your home.

But what should you look for in an oil boiler servicing engineer, and why should you consider working with Armstrong Plumbing & Heating Ltd?

What to Look for in an Oil Boiler Servicing Provider?

Let’s start with the basics; as you need to call on skilled and highly-trained engineers that have been verified by the necessary body.

While you may notice that all reputable gas and heating engineers have earned Gas Safe registration, for example, this does not qualify such tradespeople to work on oil-fired boilers.

Instead, you’ll need to look for a service provider that has an OFTEC accreditation, as this will ensure that they’ve been trained to work on oil boilers and their connecting heating systems.

On a similar note, we’d also recommend hiring an engineer that has full public liability insurance. This can afford you protection and peace of mind in all scenarios while it also provides financial coverage in the unlikely event of damage being done to your home during service or subsequent repair.

You should also check to see whether or not an engineer offers dedicated services for oil-fired boilers.

After all, this is slightly different to unscheduled repairs, as a service should be booked in annually and will require an engineer to fully inspect the unit and diagnose any potential faults.
