Any burner can be repaired to working order! But time and part can run into more than the cost of a new burner!

Firstly we will complete a survey of the burner to determine the fault and issue a quote for repair or we may advise you based on the age and condition of the boiler and burner, a replacement would be the long term better option;

The problem lies in a cost / benefit factor, in that a steel or cast-iron boiler will have a life span and will eventually leak water usually after 20year mark but this varies wildly for system to system.

If your burner is beyond repair or seized, replacing the burner only, this a great option to get the maximum life span from the boiler and a quick fix option.

If it is not the right time for you to change your oil burner, we have a low cost, short term solutions to get your boiler running.

With 700,000 oil burning appliances, heating existing homes in Ireland, the simple answer is ‘NO’ but stay with us for a minute, as the answer really lies with new build homes.

The Climate Action Plan 2025 sets out  [The installation of new domestic oil and gas boilers could be banned in the next few years under a new Government policy on tackling climate change] [source Irish Times Fiach Kelly Deputy Political Editor] these measures only concern new build dwellings. Until 2025 or maybe sooner, you can install an boiler in your new home, but you will have to provide and supplement this heating with 10watts / m² of renewable energy, which can be done with solar panels [pv. Photovoltaic or thermal], wood pellet boiler, wind turbine or a heatpump.

There will come a time when new oil and gas boiler will gradually be phased out.

We can carry out a tank assessment and offer you advise on the condition, any existing damage or likelihood of an oil spill.

Your oil storage tank has a maximum life span of 20 years, if the tank has been correctly installed, having a full supporting base, with the tank not over hanging or full supporting  the base causing stresses to the structure of the tank and premature fracturing to the tank. For more information [click here]

We would advise you now to check your home insurance covers for loss or damage to oil storage tank.

We can offer you an extensive range of oil storage solutions:

  • New bunded and single skin oil tanks supplied and fitted.
  • Pressure testing of feed pipes and remote fill pipes.
  • Fuel pumping equipment, we can change your tank even if its full of fuel.
  • Temporary oil storage tanks for emergency containment or transfer.

A fire valve is an essential safety feature of an oil installation, which will stop the supply of oil in the event of a fire or an overheat situation occurring at the appliance.

The valve must be located outside the building, before the point of entry, and must be activated by a remote sensor. Existing oil feed pipes that are not accessible outside of the building, and do not have a fire valve, can have one added at the first point where the pipe appears internally.

This is not permitted on a new pipe installation, but can improve the safety of an existing installation.

Fire valves are also required for externally located boilers.
