Oil Boiler Installation

Oil boiler installation requires specialist knowledge and proper certification. In rural areas of Hampshire without mains gas, an oil heating system is often the best solution. At MBW Plumbing & Heating, we provide professional oil boiler installation across Andover, Basingstoke, Winchester, and Salisbury. As an OFTEC-registered engineer with 16 years of experience, Mike delivers safe, efficient oil boiler installations tailored to your home's needs.

Why Choose Professional Oil Boiler Installation

Installing an oil boiler is more complex than gas installation because it requires an external storage tank, specialized piping, and careful setup of the burner unit. OFTEC registration is essential - it ensures installation meets safety standards and Building Regulations. A properly installed oil boiler will be efficient, reliable, and covered by warranty. Poor installation can result in safety hazards, efficiency losses, and voided warranties.

Our Oil Boiler Installation Service

We begin with a comprehensive survey of your property to assess space available for the storage tank, determine piping requirements, and discuss your heating needs. We'll recommend the right boiler size and type based on your property and usage patterns. As accredited installers, we source quality equipment and ensure professional installation throughout.

Installation involves: removing your old system, installing the new boiler and storage tank, running oil supply pipes, setting up the burner unit, testing and commissioning. We handle all aspects professionally and provide full documentation and certification. The installation typically takes 1-2 days depending on your property's requirements.

Modern Oil Boiler Efficiency

Modern OFTEC-registered oil boilers achieve 90% efficiency or higher, comparable to gas condensing boilers. An efficient oil boiler delivers excellent heat output whilst keeping running costs reasonable. If your current system is over 10 years old, upgrading to a modern oil boiler can reduce heating bills significantly. Oil pricing fluctuates, but modern boilers extract maximum efficiency from every litre of fuel.

‍

Storage Tank Installation

Oil boiler systems require an external storage tank, typically 1,500-3,000 litres. We'll advise on the best location for your property - usually against an external wall or in a garden area. Modern tanks are durable, vandal-resistant, and designed to last 20+ years with minimal maintenance. We ensure tanks are properly installed, secured, and accessible for fuel deliveries.

‍

Fuel Delivery and Management

Once your oil system is installed, you'll arrange regular fuel deliveries (typically 1-2 times yearly). We'll help you understand fuel costs and usage patterns so you can budget effectively. Oil is often more economical than gas in rural areas where bulk buying is possible. Unlike gas, you control your fuel supply independently.

Why Oil Heating for Rural Hampshire

Many rural properties aren't connected to mains gas, making oil the practical heating solution. Oil systems are reliable, independent of utility companies, and can deliver excellent heating performance. Modern oil boilers are efficient and durable, often lasting 15-20 years with proper maintenance.

‍

Financing Your Installation

Oil boiler installation is a significant investment. We offer Kanda Finance to spread costs across manageable monthly payments, making upgrading your heating system affordable.

Your new oil boiler comes with manufacturer warranty (typically 5-10 years) and our workmanship guarantee. We recommend joining one of our service plans to maintain efficiency, safety, and warranty coverage.
