Heating oil boilers last on average around 15 to 20 years, but the lifespan of your boiler will depend on how well it was installed, how well it's maintained, and usage patterns. Signs your boiler may need replacing include frequent breakdowns, strange noises, reduced efficiency, and using more fuel than usual. Or perhaps your boiler has broken down and you can no longer obtain spare parts.
To avoid hiccups, regular maintenance by way of an annual boiler service should help keep on top of any issues and help avoid costly breakdowns. We would always recommend you use an OFTEC-registered oil heating engineer.
