Replace your Oil Boiler in 2021 with Gasworks.ie
Replacing your current oil boiler to a high-efficient condensing model is straight forward process that will potentially save you up to 30% per year on your annual oil bill.
One of the most important factors when replacing your oil boiler is selecting the correct boiler size. Unlike gas boilers, oil boilers do not modulate. This means the boiler output is fixed at the highest value all the time.
Grossly oversized oil boilers will be less efficient resulting in higher bills, expect installation and maintenance costs to be greater.
Undersized oil boilers may not be capable of providing the energy required to heat your home to a comfortable level. This will be more evident the lower the outdoor temperature. Increased stress will also reduce the boilers lifespan.
Heating Controls For Oil Boilers
Unlike gas boilers, oil boilers do not modulate their Kilowatt output as the heating demands decrease during operation. Therefore it is essential for optimum efficiency that energy saving 
heating controls are installed.
Minimum Heating Controls Required
- 2 Zone 7 Day Electronic Programmer
- Room Thermostat
- Cylinder Thermostat
- Thermostatic Radiator Valves
When installed correctly these energy saving controls will give you time and temperature control over your heating system whilst also providing boiler interlock. Preventing boiler cycling when the required zone has reached the optimum temperature.

Additional Piping/Cabling Routes - If any additional piping/cabling is required (especially in the case of multi-zone heating) the routing of such services will be discussed in detail with you. Floor coverings may have to be removed to facilitate this.
Quotation – Once the heating survey has been carried out and both you and the engineer are satisfied a quotation for the proposed works will be given. The Quotation will include a full listing of agreed works, warranty’s, grants and work schedule. The Quotation will be valid for a period of no longer than 30 Days.
