‍

Common Oil Boiler Problems

Oil boilers develop various issues, from simple fixes to complex repairs. Common problems include burner failure, fuel supply issues, leaks, thermostat malfunctions, and loss of pressure. Some problems stem from contaminated fuel, others from worn components. Unusual noises, no heat, or oil smell around the boiler are signs of serious problems requiring immediate attention.

‍

Expert Diagnosis and Honest Advice

When Mike arrives for a repair visit, he'll thoroughly assess your boiler and conduct tests to identify the exact problem. He'll explain the issue clearly and discuss repair costs versus replacement options. We're committed to honest advice - if a simple repair solves the problem, we'll say so. If replacement makes better financial sense, we'll tell you that too. No upselling, just straightforward professional guidance.

‍

Fuel System Issues

Many oil boiler problems relate to fuel quality or supply. If your fuel is contaminated with water or debris, it causes burner failure and affects efficiency. We can diagnose fuel problems, clean or replace filters, and flush systems when necessary. Proper fuel management prevents many oil boiler issues.

‍

Burner Problems

The burner is the heart of your oil heating system. If it fails, your boiler won't ignite or produce heat. Burner problems range from simple electrode cleaning to complete burner replacement. During repair, we'll assess whether cleaning and adjustment resolves the issue or if replacement is needed.

‍

Tank and Piping Issues

Leaks in your fuel tank or supply pipes require immediate attention. Even small leaks waste fuel and pose environmental risks. We inspect tanks and pipework, identify leaks, and arrange repairs. Corroded or damaged pipes may need replacement to ensure safe, reliable operation.

‍

Emergency Repair Service

For urgent breakdowns, call us immediately on 07712 508313. We respond as quickly as possible to restore your heating. For customers on our Silver or Gold service plans, you'll receive 24-hour emergency call-outs with priority response. Never be left without heating in winter.

‍

When Repair Isn't Viable

Sometimes repairs cost more than replacement. If your oil boiler is over 12 years old and developing frequent problems, replacement with a modern, efficient system may be more economical. New oil boilers are more reliable, efficient, and covered by warranty. We offer Kanda Finance to make replacement affordable.

‍

Preventing Future Breakdowns

Annual servicing prevents most oil boiler breakdowns. Regular cleaning, fuel filter replacement, and system checks catch problems early. We recommend joining one of our service plans for peace of mind, regular maintenance, and repair discounts.

‍

OFTEC Certification

All our oil boiler repairs are carried out by an OFTEC-registered engineer meeting all safety standards. You'll receive documentation certifying the work, and warranties apply immediately.

‍

Service Plans Provide Protection

Our Silver and Gold service plans offer 24-hour emergency cover, priority response, and substantial labour discounts. Many customers find service plans pay for themselves through repair discounts alone, plus the security of knowing help is always available.
