Is your oil boiler on its last legs? If it’s breaking down regularly, costing more to run, or just not keeping up with your heating needs, it’s probably time to replace it. We provide oil boiler replacement in Ashbourne and surrounding areas, offering a full supply and fit service that’s quick, tidy, and done to a high standard.
We work with trusted boiler brands, use quality fittings, and make sure your heating system is fully set up for efficient, safe performance. If you’re unsure what boiler to choose or when to replace it, we’re happy to talk you through your options.
Signs Your Oil Boiler Needs Replacing
You don’t always need to wait for a full breakdown to know your boiler’s done. These are some clear signs it might be time for a new one:
-
It’s over 15 years old
-
You’ve had multiple repairs in the last two years
-
It takes ages to heat water or radiators
-
It’s using more oil than usual
-
The boiler is noisy, leaking, or giving off strange smells
-
You can’t get replacement parts easily
An inefficient boiler won’t just cost you more in fuel — it can also leave you without heat or hot water when you need it most. If you’re starting to spot the signs, give us a call and we’ll take a look.

Choosing the Right Oil Boiler
Not all boilers are the same. The right one depends on your home size, heating needs, and how many people live there. We’ll help you pick a model that suits your home without going overboard or undersizing.
We supply trusted brands known for reliability and efficiency. Most modern condensing oil boilers are 90% efficient or better, meaning you get more heat from less oil.
You can also choose between system boilers, regular boilers, or combi oil boilers depending on your setup.
We’re happy to look at your current heating system and give honest advice, not sales talk.
Why Replace Instead of Repair?
Sometimes people keep repairing an old boiler, thinking it’s the cheaper option. But over time, repair costs add up and you’re still left with an outdated, inefficient system.
Replacing your boiler brings a few clear benefits:
-
Lower fuel bills thanks to better efficiency
-
Fewer breakdowns and maintenance issues
-
Quieter operation and more consistent heat
-
Longer warranty and peace of mind
-
Improved heating controls and hot water access
A new boiler can easily pay for itself within a few years, especially if your current one is running below 80% efficiency.
Ideal Time to Replace an Oil Boiler
The best time to replace a boiler is before it fails. We often recommend scheduling replacement during spring or early autumn when you’re not relying on heating every day. That way, you avoid emergency callouts in the middle of winter.
That said, if your boiler’s already struggling or broken down, we can usually replace it quickly and get you back up and running without delay.

FAQs
How long does it take to replace an oil boiler?
In most cases, we can complete an oil boiler replacement in one to two days. This includes removing the old boiler, fitting the new one, connecting pipework, testing, and tidying up. If the job involves extra work like relocating the boiler or upgrading your heating controls, it may take a little longer. We’ll let you know upfront before we start.
Do I need to replace the oil tank as well?
Not always. If your current oil tank is in good condition, it can stay. But if it’s old, leaking, or not up to modern standards, we’ll advise you on replacing it for safety reasons. We’ll check the tank during the quote visit and give you honest advice based on what we see.
Can I get a grant for oil boiler replacement?
Oil boiler replacements don’t usually qualify for SEAI grants on their own, but if you’re upgrading to a more energy-efficient system as part of a wider retrofit, there may be options. We can talk you through what’s available and help with the paperwork if needed.
What’s the difference between a combi and regular oil boiler?
A combi oil boiler heats water on demand and doesn’t need a separate hot water cylinder. A regular or system boiler works with a cylinder to store hot water. The right one depends on your home’s setup and how many people live there. We’ll help you choose what suits your needs best.
Is it worth replacing an oil boiler with a heat pump instead?
Heat pumps are great for well-insulated homes, but they don’t suit every property. If your house isn’t well sealed or your radiators aren’t large enough, a heat pump might not keep up. A new oil boiler is still a solid, efficient option for many homes, especially in rural areas.
