How Efficient Is An Oil Boiler?
Oil is very expensive to use as your main fuel but it is a more efficient fuel than gas or LPG.
Modern oil boilers can have efficiencies of around 85% to 95%.
A new condensing oil boiler will typically have an efficiency of at least 90% while a non-condensing oil boiler will be around 85% efficient.
Older oil boilers tend to be 60% to 70% efficient. Boilers decrease in efficiency as they age, so the longer you have it, the less efficient it becomes.
This is because oil boilers use nearly all of the heat and additional gas that’s created from the burning of fuel, turning this into extra heating energy so there’s less wastage. This means you’ll get a good return on every unit of energy.

- Clean the flue.
- To check combustion, use a flue gas analyzer.
- Check your oil tank for water.
- For any indications of leakage, inspect the supply line.
- Clean the boiler casing.
- Clean the heat exchanger and burner
- Replace the boiler nozzle.
- To ensure that safety systems are working properly, test them (including any thermostats or pressure relief valves).

How many UK homes use oil heating?
Around four million households in the united kingdom aren’t connected to the gas grid and so have to rely on alternative heating types such as LPG, oil, solid fuels, electricity and solar.
An estimated 1.1 million homes in the U.K currently run on oil heating.
Oil heating is also referred to as a ‘wet’ system because it burns fluid (oil).
What are the benefits of oil boilers?
- More space: By having an external oil boiler you can free up space in the home that would be taken up by a combi boiler or internal oil boiler.
- Isolated location: If you live off the mains gas grid then oil can be an excellent heating solution as it’s affordable and accessible.
- Servicing & boiler repairs: If your oil boiler is located outside then it’s less disruptive to your daily life as your boiler can be fixed, replaced and refuelled without your home being turned into a workplace.
- Less noise: Even modern A-rated condensing boilers create a certain level of background noise, you may not even be aware of it unless you turn the boiler off. If you have an older boiler the noise will be much more noticeable. An external oil boiler won’t be a source of noise pollution.
- Carbon monoxide: Although carbon monoxide poisoning has become much rarer due to improved safety measures, there is still a chance of a leak causing symptoms. Having your boiler located outside negates the risk.
- Leaks: Having an oil boiler located outside means that should the boiler leak or malfunction, there is less chance of it causing damage to your property, compared to a gas combi boiler located in your airing cupboard leaking.
- External heating: If your oil boiler is located in an outbuilding, garage or shed it will serve to partially heat the building from heat loss.
