Oil Heating Systems & Oil Heating Technicians

Oil heating, also known as oil-fired central heating, is a system that uses heating oil to warm water, which is then circulated through pipes and radiators to heat your home. Oil heating is a "wet" system, which means hot water is used to distribute heat in a similar to gas central heating.  The main difference is that oil heating requires a storage tank for the oil, as it's not supplied on demand like gas.

OFTEC registration is not always a legal requirement, but it's highly recommended for anyone working with oil-fired heating systems. It signifies that the technician or business is qualified, trained, and regularly assessed to work on oil-fired appliances, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with building regulations.
