Just a little bit of advice for the people out there!!!
If you have an old oil boiler and are not able to get a new boiler on one of these grants or simply can’t afford a new one!
About 18 months ago I was approached by a customer who was in this very situation! So I changed just the burner on the boiler and made small alterations to the system and oil supply bringing the system to the latest regulations and up to date! Whole job under £600 and all past to Oftec regulations. When I went to give it a service this year, it was all sweet as a nut, and the customer told me, it had more use yet the oil consumption was down by a third! And winter last year was not nice!! Making the £600 paid for in first year!!
Obviously not all boilers will be in good enough condition and be able to have these changes but it’s worth thinking about!
Also please take caution when searching for any form of tradesmen on these (find a tradesman type websites) !!! Some of them are a complete scam!! A lot of These sites are basically like a glorified yellow pages! (Even the big well known ones)
They don’t check the quality of the work that these people do or if they are qualified and registered to do the work they say they are!!!
I know of cases where this has happened and caused problems and people like myself have had to put things right!!
Anyway have a good Xmas and remember these statements are just helpful tips and DON’T require smarts ass comments or telling me I’m wrong or whatever and NOT from a tradesman needing work! Just free friendly advise!!
