Why oil boilers need a yearly service
Oil burners build up soot faster than gas boilers. A dirty heat exchanger and a worn nozzle burn more oil for the same heat, and they're the usual reason an oil boiler cuts out in winter. The yearly service replaces the nozzle and checks the burner is set up to burn cleanly.
Check the tank while you're at it
The technician takes a look at the tank and the oil line on the visit. Look out for rust, bulges, wet patches under the tank or a strong smell of oil, and mention them when the technician rings.
