Why is regular oil boiler servicing important?
Has your oil boiler been serviced recently?
At Suffolk Oil Solutions we know that regular oil boiler servicing is essential for your domestic oil boiler. Manufacturers generally recommend annual servicing to help maintain safe and efficient operation and, where applicable, support warranty requirements. This includes the oil burner to make sure that it’s running safely and efficiently. At Suffolk Oil Solutions we want to help you to make sure that your oil boiler doesn’t let you down when you need it most.
Your oil boiler service will consist of a full service to the oil burner and boiler. During your oil boiler’s service we will remove and examine the baffles, clean the combustion chamber and check all seals and gaskets, and renew if necessary.
Don’t leave it until it’s too late, as some oil boiler breakdowns can be prevented with annual servicing.
How long does an oil boiler service take?
A boiler service takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour 15 minutes. Should the boiler need longer time spent on it, for instance, not be working when our engineer tests it prior to starting the service, we will need to rectify those issues first. Sometimes they can be dealt with before the service, and sometimes we will need to arrange another visit. It depends on things like the nature of the issue and if we have any required replacement parts with us to fix the issue.

FAQs
How often should an oil boiler be serviced?
We recommend having your oil boiler serviced once a year by a qualified OFTEC registered engineer. Regular servicing helps keep your boiler running safely and efficiently, reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns and can identify small issues before they become expensive repairs. An annual service also helps maintain the performance and lifespan of your boiler, giving you greater peace of mind throughout the year.
How much does an oil boiler service cost?
We always provide a clear quotation before carrying out any work, so you know exactly what to expect. If additional repairs are needed, we’ll discuss these with you before proceeding.
Do you service all makes of oil boilers?
Yes. Our experienced OFTEC registered engineers service and repair most major makes and models of domestic oil boilers. If you’re unsure whether we can work on your particular boiler, simply give us a call and we’ll be happy to advise you.
What happens if you find a fault during the service?
If we find a fault or safety issue during the service, we’ll explain exactly what’s wrong and what your options are. Our priority is making sure your boiler is safe and reliable.
Can regular servicing reduce my heating bills?
A well-maintained oil boiler generally operates more efficiently than one that has not been serviced for several years. While the exact saving varies depending on the boiler and how it is used, regular servicing helps keep your system running efficiently and can reduce fuel waste, potentially lowering your heating costs over time.
Should I bother getting my boiler serviced during the summer?
Yes. Booking your annual boiler service during the warmer months means your heating system is more likely to be ready before colder weather arrives. Summer appointments are often easier to arrange, and any repairs can usually be completed before you need to rely on your heating every day.
