Oil Appliance Service Record

An Oil Appliance Service Record documents the annual service and inspection of oil-fired heating appliances — boilers, range cookers, and AGAs. It covers burner condition, nozzle replacement, combustion analysis (smoke number, CO, flue temperature), oil supply and tank inspection, and flue integrity. OFTEC recommends annual servicing for all oil appliances.

Frequently asked questions about Oil Service Record

How often should an oil boiler be serviced?
OFTEC recommends annual servicing for all oil-fired appliances. Regular servicing improves efficiency (saving fuel costs), extends boiler life, and reduces the risk of breakdown or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Do oil boilers need a landlord safety check like gas?
There is no legal equivalent of the CP12 annual landlord gas safety check for oil heating. However, landlords have a general duty of care, and annual servicing by an OFTEC technician is strongly recommended and may be required by insurance policies.
