Removing a main oil system from a loft can be a complex and potentially dangerous process.
It is advocated to hire a professional worker to perform this job, especially if you are not experienced with this type of work.
The first step in removing an oil boiler is to turn off the power supply to the boiler and remove any fuel lines that are linked to it… Next, remove any ductwork that is linked to the boiler, taking care to avoid damaging the ducts or any surrounding objects. Once the ductwork is removed, you can begin to loosen the mounting brackets that hold the boiler in place. This may require the use of tools such as a wrench or pliers. Once the brackets are loosened, you can carefully lift the boiler out of the space in which it is installed, however you may need to disassemble the boiler into smaller pieces to make it easier to remove. When the boiler is removed, you will need to remove any remaining oil and disinfect up any debris that is left behind. It is important to officially dispose of any parts or fluids from the boiler, as they may contain hazardous materials that can be harmful to the environment and to people. An Heating, Ventilation and A/C worker will be able to provide information on how to officially dispose of these items. So, removing an oil boiler is a complex process that requires a particular level of expertise. It is best to hire a professional Heating, Ventilation and A/C worker to handle the removal and ensure that it is done safely and officially.
