Benefits With Our Oil Boiler to Heat Pump Upgrade
At Wilco Plumbing & Heating, we don’t just swap appliances—we deliver full low-carbon heating solutions. From system assessment and design to installation, servicing, and emergency support, our RGI-certified team makes upgrading from a oil boiler to an energy-saving heat pump simple, safe, and cost-efficient.
If your oil boiler is ageing, inefficient, or often breaking down, it may be time for a cleaner alternative. Our engineers evaluate your pipework, radiators, and insulation, then fit a high-performance air-to-water or ground-source heat pump sized to your home. We remove the old boiler safely, decommission oillines, and integrate new buffer tanks, smart controls, and weather-compensated thermostats for seamless comfort.
A poorly performing boiler can leave you with uneven heat, rising bills, and unexpected breakdowns. Upgrading to a heat pump provides dependable hot water and steady room temperatures year-round, while lowering running costs by up to 50 % compared with older oil systems.
Ignoring boiler warning signs—such as frequent lockouts, noisy operation, or CO-emission risks—can lead to safety hazards and escalating energy spend. A timely heat-pump upgrade eliminates combustion risk altogether and future-proofs your home against oil price rises.
Outdated boilers waste energy through standby losses and fixed-rate firing. Modern heat pumps use inverter technology to modulate output, smart zoning to heat only the rooms you need, and renewable electricity for far lower carbon emissions.
Switching from oil to a heat pump can feel daunting, but our step-by-step guidance, transparent pricing, and workmanship guarantee give you peace of mind. Choose Wilco Plumbing & Heating for Longford’s trusted, future-ready heating upgrade—cutting bills, boosting comfort, and shrinking your carbon footprint in one smart move.

How often should I service my boiler?
It’s recommended to service your boiler once a year to ensure it’s running efficiently and safely. Annual servicing helps prevent breakdowns, extends the life of your boiler, and keeps your energy bills lower.
What should I do if I have a leaking pipe?
First, turn off the water supply at the main shut-off valve to prevent further damage. Then, contact a plumber immediately to assess and repair the leak. Temporary fixes like pipe tape can be used in an emergency, but professional repair is crucial.
How can I improve the efficiency of my heating system?
Regular servicing, bleeding radiators, upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient boiler, using a programmable thermostat, and ensuring your home is well-insulated can all improve your heating system's efficiency.
Why is my radiator cold at the bottom?
A radiator cold at the bottom usually indicates a buildup of sludge or debris in the system. Power flushing the heating system can often solve this problem by removing the buildup and restoring full radiator functionality.
What’s the difference between a combi boiler and a conventional boiler?
A combi boiler provides hot water on demand and doesn’t require a separate hot water tank, making it space-efficient. A conventional boiler requires a hot water tank and is better for larger homes with higher hot water demands.
How do I know if my heating system needs replacing?
Signs that your heating system may need replacing include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven heating, and if the system is over 15 years old. We can do a professional assessment to determine the best course of action.
Can a plumber also service my gas boiler?
Yes, but make sure they are Gas Safe registered (or RGI in Ireland) to legally work on gas appliances. Always ask for proof of their certification before allowing them to service your gas boiler.
What can I do if my heating isn’t working?
First, check that the thermostat is set correctly, the boiler has power, and the pressure is within the recommended range. If these are all correct, the issue may require a professional diagnosis, so contact a heating engineer.
Why does my water take so long to heat up?
This could be due to an aging boiler, a failing water heater element, or a buildup of sediment in the tank. A professional inspection can identify the cause and recommend repairs or upgrades to improve efficiency.
How can I prevent my heating system from becoming inefficient in the winter?
To maintain energy efficiency during winter, ensure your boiler—whether it’s a gas boiler, oil boiler, or heat pump—is regularly serviced.
- For gas and oil boilers, an annual service ensures they run efficiently and reduces the risk of breakdowns during colder months.
- For heat pumps, check that the outdoor unit is free of ice or debris. Additionally, insulating your home effectively and setting your thermostat to a consistent, energy-efficient temperature can prevent your system from overworking, thereby maintaining efficiency and reducing energy bills.
