FAQ’s
Why is it important to check for harmful water in your oil tank?
Many people are unaware that water can accumulate in their oil tank, whether from condensation or rainwater entering through faulty or damaged seals, tank openings, or even rusting and perforations in the tank body. This water can cause major issues with your oil boiler, especially during very cold weather when it freezes and blocks your fuel supply. Additionally, water in your fuel is a leading cause of oil pump failure, which can result in costly breakdowns.
Is an annual boiler service recommended?
Yes, it is highly recommended to have your oil boiler serviced annually by an OFTEC-registered technician. This will prevent simple faults like water in your fuel from causing damage to your boiler and potentially costly part replacements. During a service, key components such as the oil filter, pump, nozzle, and photocell are inspected and serviced. Afterwards, you will receive an OFTEC certificate to confirm that your boiler meets the required standards.
