Oil
Fired Boilers
 Oil
fired boilers can be just as compact as gas boilers, wall or floor
mounted, clean and quiet. The choice in oil boilers is similar
to that of gas boilers, you can choose from standard or combination
(Combi) boilers and both are available as high efficiency, energy
saving condensing boilers.
Central Heating and Hot Water using Standard
Oil Fired Boilers
Standard (or conventional) boilers heat your radiators and hot
water when activated by a controller or programmer. The hot water
is then stored in a cylinder until it is needed.
This type of system is most suitable for families or large houses
where hot water is needed on demand and in significant quantities
for heating, baths, washing machines, dish washers and so on.
Combination (Combi) Oil Boilers and Central
Heating Systems
Combination boilers (Combi’s) provide hot water on demand,
heated as required with no water storage. They heat your radiators
when activated by a controller or programmer similar to standard
(or conventional) boiler systems. Combi boilers dispense with
the need for the hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard, the
large cold water cistern (tank) plus small header cistern (tank)
in the loft which are otherwise needed in conventional vented
heating systems.
All the major components are housed in one unit
which makes them very convenient to the installer and saving space
for the householder.
Combi boiler systems are generally suitable for
smaller households, flats and bungalows where there are a smaller
number of users with modest heating and hot water demands although
some of the latest combination boilers can suit larger households.
Condensing Oil Boilers
Both of these types of boilers are available as high efficiency,
energy saving condensing boilers. Condensing boilers are designed
to recycle heat with an extra heat exchanger so that the hot exhaust
gases are used to pre-heat the water in the boiler system, therefore
reducing energy consumption and bills.
Condensing boilers cost a little more but the energy
savings will repay that extra initial investment in 2 to 4 years
of normal use.
