A: It is generally recommended that an oil boiler is serviced once a year. Regular servicing helps keep the system operating efficiently and can identify potential issues before they become larger problems.
Q: Why is annual oil boiler servicing important?
A: Annual servicing can help maintain efficiency, reduce the risk of breakdowns, support safe operation, and extend the lifespan of your boiler.
Q: What happens during an oil boiler service?
A: A typical oil boiler service may include checking and cleaning key components, inspecting the burner, examining filters, testing controls and safety devices, checking fuel lines, and ensuring the boiler is operating correctly.

Would like to thank Clark and his apprentice for a 1st Class Service. Removed and installed an entire new Worcester Bosch 25/32 heatslave combi. Start to finish extremely professional and knowledgable at every stage. I now have a heating system with hot water and a house nice and cosy for the first time since Boxing Day.
