The Oil Firing Technical Association (OFTEC) has launched a consultancy service to provide independent evaluations of oil-fired installations. Developed in response to customer demand, typical clients include householders, landlords and facilities managers in both the public and private sectors.
The service is designed to help clients assess their oil-fired installations and can also assist in resolving disputes, for example where an installation has been completed but the customer feels the system is not performing correctly. If the parties are unable to resolve the situation amicably and both agree, OFTEC can carry out an independent inspection and provide a report with commendations that both parties agree to abide by.

OFTEC's technical director Paul Rose said: 'The new service is designed to be flexible and can be tailored to suit the particular requirements of the client. We will also be working closely with Local Authority Building Control (LABC) to provide additional expertise when required.'

OFTEC's consultancy service is provided by OFTEC's experienced in-house technical team who offer on-site assessments to ensure compliance with Building Regulations and industry codes of practice. A detailed, illustrated report is provided with recommendations for any work that is required to make the installation compliant.
OFTEC consultancy services can also provide advice on major system upgrades and help with preparing tenders or evaluating submissions.
