Summary: Oil central heating systems guide, advantages of oil central heating and disadvantages of oil central heating.
Oil is an alternative fuel used in boilers to heat water. Often the reasons for using oil instead of gas is that some more rural areas of the UK are not connected to a mains gas supply. When this is the case, oil can be delivered by a company and stored in a tank on the premises.
Working in the same way as a gas central heating system; the oil version heats water in a boiler, which is distributed to radiators and taps throughout the building via a pipe system. Thermostats can be used to control the output of the heat within your home or workplace.
