There are a lot of homes that are not connected to the gas mains supply here in the UK but there are still other alternative fuel sources to enable someone to both heat the property and produce hot water for a lovely hot bath. One of these is to have an oil-fired central heating system installed that includes using an oil boiler.
There are a number of manufacturers of oil boilers so you should find a reasonable choice of them available. There are also different types such as regular and combi oil boilers.
The regular boiler, also known as a conventional boiler, heats the water in the hot water cylinder that is then circulated around pipes into the radiators that heat the rooms and is also used to provide running hot water for taps that fill up your bath and sinks. The combi boiler does not require a hot water cylinder as it directly, instantly heats the water that is used in the radiators and in the taps.
As there is no mains oil supply, you will need an oil tank located in close proximity to your home such as in your garden. A tanker will deliver the oil so you are dependent upon the weather permitting the vehicle to gain access to your oil tanker in inclement weather.
You will require a heating technician that is registered with OFTEC who will be able to advice you as to which is the most suitable oil boiler to meet your requirements and install it and the other things such as radiators and pipes. In this respect, you will find that there are many such technicians offering their services.
