hounsfield oil boilers any good

[Paul1963]

I would like heating engineers opinion on hounsfield oil boilers. Are they any good?

 

[SJB060685]

I'm in a Facebook group where the owner behind the company is too. He's a good guy and I know a few of my fellow engineers who swear by them, they are good boilers. One note to add is the high limit stat is adjustable and may need to be adjusted upon installation as can trip when burner shuts down if set to low.
In terms of warranty you won't have a problem

I have yes. Google EOGB sapphire burner. Utilizes a highly efficient permanent magnet motor and a pressure transducer, mixed with sophisticated controls. Gives full modulating range from around 5 to 30KW. I know you gas guys have had modulating burners for some time but this is a step in the right direction for oil

Far in front of the rest warranty very good even if you need it better made better insulated totaly reliable fitted them for years no problems very good on oil consumption very clean advise anyone to buy one can't spend money any better on a boiler
