There may be a number of reasons why the radiators in your home are not turning on:
- A faulty gauge is indicating that there is oil in the tank when in fact the tank is empty - use a large wooden stick to 'dip the tank' to verify there is oil in the tank and it is above the outlet valve: normally about 2/3 inches above the bottom of the tank.
- There is a mechanical fault with the boiler. Call an OFTEC certified boiler engineer to check what the issue is.
- If you have just received a delivery of oil but had previously ran out you may have an air lock and this will require the boiler to be bled - this can normally be carried out by a plumber / engineer.
There could be other reasons why your heating isn't coming on and would most likely require an OFTEC technician to help. ValueOils.com offer a range of services provided by OFTEC technicians which can be booked online 24/7, alternatively, if you have ran out of oil or are running low, you can get a quote for your heating oil requirements on our website where ever you are based in the UK.
