Replacing an old oil boiler

Modern oil boilers have to meet far higher efficiency standards than older models, so a replacement can bring your running costs down. We start with a free, no-obligation site survey and design the system around your home and how you use it.

Efficiency standards for new oil boilers

Building regulations in England set a minimum efficiency for any new or replacement oil boiler. Under Approved Document L, a regular oil boiler must reach at least 91% efficiency (as defined in the ErP regulations). A lower figure is only allowed in exceptional circumstances in existing homes.

When a new or replacement oil boiler is fitted, building regulations guidance also says a carbon monoxide alarm should be provided in the same room.

We handle the building regulations paperwork as part of the installation.
