Oil boiler service and heating oil: the basics
What the job involves
Many rural Lincolnshire homes heat with oil. An oil boiler should be serviced once a year: the technician cleans the burner and baffles, replaces the nozzle and filters, checks the flue and oil line and tunes the combustion with an analyser. They can also inspect the oil tank for cracks, bulging and a safe base, which matter for the environment and your insurance.
What to ask a pro, and what to have ready
Have the boiler and tank make and model and the last service record. Ask for a written service report with combustion readings, and whether the technician is OFTEC registered, the recognised scheme for oil heating.
Safety and good to know
If you smell oil or see a wet patch near the tank, stop using the boiler and call a technician; an oil leak into the ground is a pollution incident that can be expensive to clean up. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.
