Oil Fired Boilers

Oil Fired Boiler

The oil fired boiler market is typically overlooked due to is small share in the market, yet it is still a strong choice for installers. Current sales of oil fired boilers totals to around 60,000 which is a small share of the 1.4 to 1.5 million of total boilers sold in the UK every year.
The drop in the market has not been a sudden one there has been a slowing down of the oil boiler market for a few years. The main issue of this seems to be the increase in oil prices, with the homeowner being reminded of these costs every time they fill up their car with petrol or diesel. Due to this fact many homeowners are keen to reduce their dependence on the costly fuel in order to reduce household bills. In addition to this as oil boilers are highly robust means they can last up to 15 years which means there is less opportunities for installers to replace an existing oil boiler compared with a gas boiler. Another reason for the decline in oil boilers could be down to the growing trend of architecturally innovative homes which generally takes shape in off mains gas areas but instead of choosing oil boilers, people are looking at renewable technology such as heat pumps and solar thermal panels.

Oil Fired Boiler Sales

Even though oil boiler sales are low it continues to provide a number of business opportunities for the installer. With the boilers being so dependable installers should take the chance when servicing them to promote the advantages of upgrading to a more energy efficient model. By encouraging an upgrade can prompt efficiency improvements of around 15% compared to the use of an aging boiler. Installers should also promote regular servicing of oil fired boilers by doing this installers could benefit from a regular stream of income for them. Even though the oil fired heating market will only represent a small amount of the domestic heating market in the UK it should not be forgotten about by the heating industry or government. By combining renewable and upgrading oil fired boilers to a more efficient model will ensure that the market continues to develop and adapt alongside other heating technology and allow installers to broaden their scope of business.
