The Oil Firing Technical Association (OFTEC) is a trading association for the oil and domestic heating industry. It operates a competent persons scheme to certify individual technicians and installation companies. To register as a competent person, installers have to undertake an approved training course and assessment. They also have to have their work regularly inspected, and take a reassessment every five years. OFTEC certified businesses must have public liability insurance and their own complaints procedure that follows best practices.<\/p>\n

Why use an OFTEC installer?<\/h3>\n

OFTEC registered installers can self-certify their work as compliant with Building Regulations. This means that the expert technician will install your oil fired boiler to a high standard. It could also save you time and money as you won’t have to organise Local Authority inspections. They can also undertake work without having to submit a Building Control notice.<\/p>\n

Other benefits of using OFTEC registered installers<\/h4>\n

OFTEC operate a complaints system which is an easy way to resolve disputes over the quality or safety of your oil boiler. OFTEC installers offer a six-year Workmanship Warranty which covers any problems caused by the installation. This is on top of the manufacturer\u2019s warranty which only covers defective parts or equipment. Additionally, this Workmanship Warranty can even be transferred to the new homeowners if you sell your home.<\/p>\n

OFTEC registered installers can also carry out services on your oil boiler. They follow an approved best practice checklist to ensure your boiler is kept in top condition. Also, they can offer advice on the efficiency of oil boilers and other systems to help you make sense of manufacturer\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n

Driving standards<\/h4>\n

OFTEC sets standards across the heating industry. They also certify renewable energy installers and offer certification under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme programme. An OFTEC registered installer is a great choice if you’re installing an oil boiler along with renewable energy systems like solar thermal.<\/p>\n
