I really love Total Energy. I’ve been a loyal customer for many years now. I’ve just moved house and have an oil boiler for the first time. As usual Total Energy have been brilliant at servicing it and advising me on the use. I find them so friendly, professional and reliable. Can’t recommend them enough they’re just fab.

Remember, many manufactures such as Worcester Bosch and Grant stipulate that an annual oil boiler service must be carried out to uphold their boiler warranties. Failure to keep up with a yearly service will invalidate your warranty meaning you will be liable to pay for boiler faults.

What happens during a oil boiler service?

During your oil boiler service our OFTEC engineer will check your boiler is safe and working as efficiently as possible, highlighting any areas that may need attention and providing specific advice to suit your heating system.

The outer case is removed (IMPORTANT: only an OFTEC or Gas Safe engineer should remove your boiler case and touch internal components) and the internal components of your boiler are cleaned.

Often the oil nozzle will be replaced. Oil nozzles dictate the amount of oil that passes through the burner. Over time the nozzle can warp, which in turn reduces the boiler’s efficiency.

The heat exchanger will be cleaned removing any soot build-up. If a oil boiler is not regularly serviced soot and debris can build up in the heat exchanger which can cause permanent damage. This can then mean your heat exchanger will need to be replaced or even render your boiler beyond economical repair.

During your oil boiler service the engineer will check the oil tank visually and checked for any blocked filters or oil leaks.

Once your service is complete you will be handed a CD10 Oil Firing Installation Completion Report Certificate. This provides you with further information.

Do I really need a boiler service?

Regular boiler servicing is very important

If you decide against regular servicing, there is a much higher risk of your boiler breaking down when you need it most. Typically as the weather turns colder and need to turn on the heating. Without regular servicing long term damage can occur, which can otherwise be prevented. Older boilers which aren’t serviced can lose large amounts of energy meaning you are spending more money to heat your home and deliver hot water.
