Oil Boilers
For properties that are not connected to the mains gas network, an oil boiler remains an option for reliable and efficient heating solutions available. McGhie’s Plumbing and Heating is OFTEC accredited, meaning our engineers are fully qualified to install, service and maintain oil-fired heating systems to the standards required by current regulations.
Whether you need a new oil boiler fitted, your existing system serviced or a fault investigated and repaired, our team has the knowledge and accreditation to carry out the work correctly.
Annual Oil Boiler Servicing
Regular servicing is just as important for oil boilers as it is for gas systems. An annual service helps ensure your boiler is burning fuel efficiently, operating safely and performing at its best throughout the heating season.
During a service, our engineers inspect the burner, heat exchanger, flue system and oil supply components, clean relevant parts and carry out a full safety check. Keeping your oil boiler serviced annually also helps to maintain any manufacturer’s warranty that applies to the system and can prevent costly breakdowns by identifying minor issues before they develop.
What OFTEC Accreditation Means for You
OFTEC, the Oil Firing Technical Association, sets the standards for engineers working on oil heating systems in the UK. Choosing an OFTEC registered contractor like McGhie’s Plumbing and Heating means you are working with engineers who are properly trained and qualified to work safely on oil systems, and whose work meets the regulatory requirements for oil heating installations and servicing.
This matters not only for safety and performance but also for insurance purposes, as work carried out by an unregistered engineer may not be recognised by your home insurer.
