Total Energy Services fit Grant oil boiler and oil tank in Blandford, Dorset. Our customer’s property is a charming little cottage in the heart of the picturesque village of Iwerne Minster.
Due to its rural location the property relies on an oil fired system for its heating and hot water. The existing boiler was very old and had become unreliable. The existing oil tank had become brittle and being a single skin tank meant the decision was taken to replace both the boiler and oil tank.
Modern oil boilers are very efficient. Compared with old, non-condensing oil boilers which can struggle to reach an efficiency of 50% meaning every £1 spent in fuel only 50p of the money spent is used to heat your home. Modern condensing oil boilers can easily reach efficiencies of over 93% meaning less than 10p per £1 spent on fuel is wasted.
Initially our customer’s central heating system underwent a powerflush. This deep cleansing process removes any dirt, sludge, rust, and debris that builds up within your heating system over time. The new boiler then has a clean system to run off and isn’t inhibited by dirt and debris.
A new oil tank and line was installed. Bunded oil tanks are essentially ‘a tank within a tank ‘. Bunded oil tanks help protect the environment against potential oil spills and leaks. If a bunded oil tank were to leak the oil will simply reside within the ‘second skin’ rather than soaking into the ground. As oil tanks age they can become brittle which leaves them susceptible to leaks, hence the importance of a bunded oil tank.
A Grant Vortex Eco 21kw outdoor oil boiler installed.
This highly efficient oil boiler comes with a fantastic 5-year guarantee. Designed and built to be housed outside of the home, the durable powder coated casing can withstand even the harshest of British weather. Its built-in frost protection affords you peace of mind that whatever the weather, your home will be warm and cosy.
All Grant boilers are A rated in terms of efficiency; all A rated boilers have a stamp of approval from the Energy Saving Trust. The Grant Vortex is very quiet in operation and as with all new Grant boilers they are biofuel compatible*
To help prevent a future build up of sludge and debris a Grant magnetic filter was installed. The Mag One filter is the perfect protection for your new boiler, its triple action filter collects debris, dirt and sludge that can otherwise build up within the system.
Our customer can now rest assured that their new boiler not only is protected by an excellent warranty but when the likely time comes to start switching over to sustainable bio-fuel blends their Grant boiler will only require a small modification. A cost effective and non-disruptive method of providing low carbon heating.
