What does an oil boiler installer do?
OFTEC-registered oil boiler replacements and installs — tank, pipework, and commissioning included. Vetted, insured installers across Ireland.
An oil boiler replacement swaps an existing oil-fired boiler for a new high-efficiency condensing oil unit. Oil heating remains common in rural and outer-Ireland homes that aren't on the gas mains. A typical replacement involves removing the old unit, fitting the new boiler (internal or external cabinet model), upgrading the oil supply line if needed, fitting an oil filter and fire valve, flushing the heating system, and commissioning to comply with current OFTEC standards. In Ireland this work should be carried out by an OFTEC-registered installer, who issues a commissioning certificate on completion — most like-for-like swaps take one to two days on site.
Oil boilers are typically replaced every 15–20 years, sooner if maintenance has been patchy. Newer oil boilers are 90–93% efficient vs 60–80% for pre-2000 units, with significant fuel cost savings — that efficiency gap is the main reason replacement usually beats repeated repairs on an ageing unit. SEAI offers grants for oil-to-heat-pump conversions but not for direct oil-to-oil swaps — many homeowners swap like-for-like for now and convert to a heat pump in a few years when the home insulation is brought up to standard.

How much does an oil boiler installer cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Oil boiler replacement cost varies by boiler type (internal vs external), brand, and how much of the system around it needs work. The figures below are indicative ranges fitted, including disposal of the old unit — your final price depends on access, flue position, and the condition of the existing pipework, so treat them as a guide rather than a fixed quote.
A like-for-like external oil boiler swap typically runs €2,500–€3,800 with a mainstream brand (Grant, Firebird, Worcester Bosch, Warmflow). Internal utility-room swaps are €2,200–€3,500. Adding an oil tank replacement is €1,200–€2,200 depending on tank size. A complete package — boiler, tank swap, system flush, smart controls — typically lands €4,200–€6,800. SEAI does not currently offer grants for oil-to-oil swaps; if you're considering oil-to-heat-pump, separate grant pathways apply. Whatever route you take, insist on an itemised quote that breaks out the boiler model, flue, filter, fire valve, and OFTEC commissioning — it makes the price easy to check line by line.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Oil Boiler Installer FAQs
Should I replace my oil boiler or convert to a heat pump?
It depends on the home and your timeline. If the existing boiler is failing and your home isn't yet at B2 BER, a like-for-like oil swap buys you 5–10 years to insulate and prepare for heat pump conversion. If the home is already well-insulated and air-tight, going straight to a heat pump captures full SEAI grant funding and lower running costs immediately. Your installer can model both options for you.
How long does an oil boiler installation take?
A standard external oil boiler replacement takes 1–2 days on site. Internal swaps are similar. If the oil tank also needs replacing, allow another half-day. Hot water is typically off for 4–8 hours during the swap. Your installer should provide a written schedule and stage the work to minimise disruption — for instance, finishing the boiler change before disturbing hot water.
Do I need a new oil tank?
Not always. Oil tanks last 20–30 years if maintained. Signs you need replacement: visible rust on a steel tank, plastic tank UV degradation or cracking, leaks at the tap or connections, tank below current building regs siting (1.8m from buildings, 760mm from boundaries). If your tank is original to the house and pre-2000, factor a replacement into the boiler quote.
How efficient are modern oil boilers vs old ones?
Pre-2000 oil boilers typically run 65–80% efficient — meaning 20–35% of fuel is wasted out the flue. Modern condensing oil boilers (post-2018) run 90–93% efficient. On a typical home using €2,000 of oil per year, that's a saving of €200–€500 annually from boiler upgrade alone. Pair with smart controls and a system flush for further 5–15% gains.
Who can install oil boilers in Ireland?
Oil boiler installers in Ireland should be OFTEC-registered (Oil Firing Technical Association). OFTEC registration confirms competency, insurance, and ongoing training on oil heating systems. After install, the technician issues a CD/10 commissioning certificate which you need for any future warranty claim and for property sale paperwork. Always ask for the OFTEC ID number and check on oftec.org.
Will my details be passed around to multiple boiler installers?
No. Jobiit isn't a bidding marketplace where dozens of businesses compete for your details. When you post an oil boiler job, it goes to one matched OFTEC-registered trader — the closest, best-rated installer covering your area — not a call list. Messaging happens in-app, so you deal with one vetted installer from quote to commissioning. Posting is free, and the quote is itemised and no-obligation.
