Repeated breakdowns had left a homeowner in Thatcham unsure when their oil boiler would let them down next. After dealing with one fault after another, they asked us to replace it with a heating system they could rely on.
The existing oil boiler had become increasingly unreliable. Each breakdown meant another interruption to the home’s heating and another repair to arrange. The homeowner decided it was time to replace the boiler rather than keep dealing with recurring faults.
We removed the old boiler and installed a new Worcester Bosch oil boiler. This gave the homeowner a modern replacement without the uncertainty that had come with the previous appliance.
The homeowner now has a new oil boiler in place and can put the repeated breakdowns behind them. More than anything, the installation has restored their confidence in the heating at home.
If your oil boiler is becoming unreliable, we can assess its condition and talk you through the options for repair or replacement. Contact Nick Parris Heating Services to arrange a quotation.
Frequent breakdowns, rising repair costs and difficulty getting dependable heating are all reasons to consider a replacement. We can assess your existing boiler and help you decide whether another repair is worthwhile.
Often, yes, although the right boiler and installation requirements depend on your property and existing heating system. We would assess these before recommending a replacement.
A modern boiler may operate more efficiently than an older one, but savings depend on the condition of the old boiler, how you use your heating and the wider system. We would not promise a particular saving without assessing the property.
Oil boilers should generally be serviced annually. Regular servicing helps identify developing faults and keep the boiler operating safely and efficiently.
