Which is the best external oil boiler?

Are you looking to replace your oil boiler? Did you know that thanks to modern technology, it is now possible to have an oil boiler that is located outside your house? Read on to learn more.

How does an external oil boiler work?

An external oil boiler works in exactly the same way as a traditional, internally fitted oil boiler. The only difference is that an external boiler is housed within a weatherproof casing which means it can be located outside your home. If you are replacing an existing internal oil boiler and have suitable space outside, then this could be a convenient option for you with many benefits.

Why switch to an external oil boiler?

There are several reasons why switching to an external oil boiler is a great choice. Let’s look at some of the reasons they are becoming such a popular option:

Improve your home’s appearance

Let’s face it, old boilers are not pretty. If you are planning to invest in a new boiler, why not eliminate the boiler from within your home entirely?

Make more space

Choosing an external oil boiler means you’ll be able to free up space within your home and use it for something more practical, aesthetically pleasing or both.

Reduced noise

Tired of boiler noise in your home? By moving your oil boiler outside, you can significantly reduce the amount of noise from your heating system.

Lower carbon monoxide risk

It goes without say, but choosing to have your boiler fitted outside substantially reduces the risk of carbon monoxide leaking into your home.

Prevent damage

When using an oil boiler, there is always the possibility of oil leakage, which can cause damage and odours which can be hard to remove. With an outside boiler, this risk is eliminated.

Easier access for servicing

Locating your oil boiler outside can make it more accessible to engineers, minimising any disruption during your annual boiler service or maintenance.
