Good afternoon
I had recently posted a thread in the arms about the excessive oil consumption of my Mothers oil fired boiler.
A little bit of history for you.
The boiler is a Firebird 150k- Model RDB2.2. This was installed approximately 18 months ago by an Oftec registered installer.
5 weeks ago she had 500 litres of kerosene delivered and it ran out last Friday,the boiler is only on for the central heating 5 hours daily, so this equates to 175 hours over that period. She has estimated the oil consumption has cost her £50 per week since last top up.
For those of you in the know, can you tell me does this sound excessive ? If so, with the figures I have given what length of time should 500 litres last.
Prior to the new boiler being installed she has told me that the consumption was never as noticeable as it is now.
As a pensioner with a limited income this is becoming a very real concern for her, so some helpful feedback would be really appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Bob
