subject: The Importance Of Having An Annual Oil Service For Your Boiler [print this page] Why would you need an oil service? A lot of people may ask this if they are not sure what it would be used for. There are varied reasons to need an oil service one of which is for the oil boilers that are in houses or apartment complexes which are the reason that the radiators in the apartment work well.
Oil boilers drive oil into a chamber in the boiler that will have a spark much like that of a spark plug in a car. When the oil is sprayed into this boiler chamber with air and there is a spark it creates a fire like from a flame thrower inside this chamber. Now there is also a fan on the side of the chamber that will blow or suck the heated air up pipes that flow right into the radiators in the apartment which is how the apartments get their heat.
The great thing about oil boilers is that they are not only used for heating an apartment or a home. They can also be used to heat the water in your apartment or home. This is not a new concept. The same heat that would be going to the radiator in the apartment or home can be split or diverted to the water of the home or apartment. This being the case then you would definitely need oil service.
So what is it? That would be when oil is delivered to the home or apartment complex that has an oil boiler. Most often times the person that owns the building that has the oil boiler will need an oil service to that building.
What happens when it is not the oil service that you need, but the oil boiler service? This could be taken to mean two different things. The first is that you do not have this type of heating for the house that you live in. In that case you would contact a company that sells and repairs the boilers and have it installed into the home. The second is that something has gone wrong with the oil boiler and it needs service. This is the point in time that you may want to contact who you had bought the oil boiler from or find a new company that performs oil boiler service. When calling the company to perform the oil boiler service be sure to tell them what you believe is wrong with it. You may be right without knowing. It may also be something simple that they can tell you to do and not have a bill for the oil boiler service at all.
Another thing that you want to make sure of before you contact the service company to come to do the service, find out what kind of boiler that you have. Try to supply the brand name and the model number to the company. That way if they do have to do the service they will bring any tools that are specific to that brand or model number to make sure that the service is done quickly and correctly.
These are the differences in the services that you may need for your boiler. Providing you with this information has been our pleasure, and remembers whenever you have a question ask an expert.
