Common Questions

FAQs: LPG & Oil Boilers in Dodford

Common questions about off-mains heating

How often should an LPG or oil boiler be serviced?

We recommend having your LPG or oil boiler serviced once a year. Annual servicing helps keep the system running safely and efficiently, and can catch small problems before they turn into costly repairs. It is also often a requirement for maintaining any warranty on your boiler.

Do you service both LPG and oil boilers in Dodford?

Yes, we service and repair both LPG and oil boilers. Many homes in rural areas like Dodford are not connected to mains gas, so we have built up experience working with these off-mains systems over the years.

My oil or LPG boiler has stopped working. What should I do?

First, check whether you have fuel in your tank and that any isolation switches are in the correct position. If everything looks fine and the boiler still will not fire, give us a call on 01527 390 304 and we will arrange to diagnose the problem as quickly as possible.

Is it worth replacing an older oil or LPG boiler?

If your boiler is over 15 years old, or repair costs are adding up, a replacement may be more cost effective in the long run. Newer boilers are more efficient and can help reduce fuel bills. We can assess your current system and advise whether repair or replacement makes sense.

Do you provide quotes before starting work?

Yes, we provide a clear quote before carrying out any work. For larger jobs like boiler replacements, we will visit your property to assess what is needed and give you a written quote with no hidden costs.

Can you help improve efficiency on off-mains heating?

Yes. Upgrading controls, servicing regularly and improving insulation can all help reduce fuel bills. We can advise on the best options for your property.
