Your heating oil has quite a journey to get from the ground into your tanks. We’re going to quickly cover the heating oil supply chain
A boiler breakdown is very inconvenient, especially in the colder seasons. So to help make sure your home stays warm, we’re going to cover the most common oil boiler problems and what you can do to get your boiler up and running again. Even though, we have some great fixes sometimes it’s best to leave it to the professionals, so if you’re ever unsure call a trained OFTEC engineer.
Reason For A Boiler Breakdown
This problem is a simple fix. All you need to do is order your oil, get an emergency delivery to your home and top-up your tank.
Did you know there are automatic top-up services?
Life can get busy and want to remove monitoring your oil and topping up your tank off the ‘to-do list’, automatic top-up services are available. They will cover all your heating needs for you. Another option is to get an oil monitor, which will alert you when your oil is low.
When your boiler’s pressure is too high or low, it will shut down (lockout). A lockout happens when the boiler detects an issue and shut’s down for safety reasons.
Your boiler’s standard pressure is available in the manual. If the pressure is too high, you will need to reduce the water in the system by bleeding it.
If you have low pressure, check for leaks. If there are no leaks, you can add water to the system by opening the valve on the external filling loop.
In cold weather, the pipes that remove the condensation can get blocked by frozen debris, causing your boiler to shut down.
To fix blocked condensation pipes, all you need to do is thaw the frozen pipe by pouring warm water over it.
