Understanding Oil Boilers in Ireland
Oil boilers remain a common heating system in Irish homes, especially those not connected to the natural gas network. Our expert plumbers in Dublin are highly knowledgeable about the various types of boilers and can help you make an informed decision for your home.
Firebird Oil Boilers
-
What they are: Firebird produces reliable conventional non-condensing oil boilers.
-
Lifespan: The average lifespan is 12-15 years with regular annual servicing.
-
Servicing: It's recommended to have your boiler serviced every year to ensure safety and efficient operation.
-
Grants: Homeowners can get grants of up to €700 through SEAI for replacing an old boiler with a new condensing model.
Grant Oil Boilers
-
What they are: Grant boilers, such as the Vortex condensing models, are known for their high efficiency and cleaner emissions.
-
Servicing: To maintain warranty coverage and ensure optimal performance, Grant boilers require a full annual service.
-
Warranties: Grant boilers typically include a 5-year parts and labour warranty as standard.
-
Upgrades: Some older models can be upgraded with kits to improve their efficiency, which can reduce running costs.
Outside Oil Boilers
External, or outside, oil-fired boilers offer greater installation flexibility for your Dublin home. While they are a great option, they do require specific considerations:
-
Maintenance: They require the same regular annual service as indoor models. However, it's particularly important to check for signs of wear from weather exposure, like rusting.
-
Protection: External boilers must be installed within a protective, insulated boiler house and have pipework buried below the frost line or use antifreeze to prevent damage in colder weather.
Signs Your Boiler Needs Attention
-
Kerosene Oil Burner: A modern oil burner should last 8-12 years with regular servicing. Signs that it needs replacing include noisy or struggling ignition, excess smoke, or unreliable operation.
-
Faulty Burners: For a faulty burner, a replacement is often the best option for safety and efficiency, especially if the burner is over 12 years old.
-
Condensing vs. Non-Condensing: A condensing boiler extracts additional heat from flue gases to reach up to 90% efficiency, offering significant cost savings compared to non-condensing models (80-85% efficient).
