"You should have your oil boiler serviced annually. This should include a new nozzle and a new supply hose. Unless you fit a green coloured hose then these are life expectancy of 2 years before being changed."

"Every 12 months the oil boiler should be serviced. The injector needs replacing every 13 months and the oil hose every 5years. I recommend to all my customers that a drain down and new inhibitor is installed in the system every other year with the installation of a magnetic filter be fitted if not already."
