AAC Gas provide specialist commercial and industrial oil services across Cheshire and the surrounding areas. OFTEC registered and working exclusively with commercial and industrial clients, our engineers service, repair, and maintain oil-fired heating systems, oil boilers, oil burners, and oil storage tanks for businesses across Chester, Warrington, Crewe, Macclesfield, Ellesmere Port, Northwich, Knutsford, Congleton, Nantwich, and the wider Cheshire region.
While the majority of Cheshire's urban and industrial commercial sector operates on mains gas, a significant number of businesses across the county rely on oil-fired heating — particularly in rural Cheshire where gas infrastructure has not been extended, in the affluent rural and semi-rural areas across East Cheshire and the Cheshire Plain, in older commercial and agricultural premises, and in specialist industrial applications. Cheshire's landscape of country estates, rural hotels, agricultural operations, equestrian facilities, and off-gas-grid commercial premises creates one of the most active commercial oil service markets in the North West.
Call us on 01772 382971 — 24/7 emergency oil heating response available across Cheshire.

We service and maintain commercial and industrial oil boilers across Cheshire covering all major manufacturers including Hamworthy, Potterton Commercial, Grant Commercial, Firebird Commercial, Worcester Bosch Commercial, Riello, Warmflow Commercial, and all leading oil boiler brands.Every service includes full oil burner inspection and strip, combustion analysis and flue gas testing, heat exchanger inspection, fuel pump and filter checks, oil line integrity testing, controls and safety device testing, and a full written service report with OFTEC documentation issued on completion. Planned preventative maintenance contracts available for Cheshire businesses requiring year-round oil boiler coverage.
The oil burner is the component most likely to cause breakdowns and efficiency losses in any oil-fired heating system. We service and repair all types of commercial and industrial oil burners across Cheshire — including pressure jet burners, rotary cup burners, and vaporising burners — covering all major manufacturers.Full burner services include nozzle replacement, electrode inspection and adjustment, photocell cleaning and testing, combustion head inspection, fuel pump pressure testing, and full combustion analysis with CO and CO2 measurement. Combustion tuning reduces fuel consumption, lowers running costs, and ensures safe, efficient operation — particularly valuable for the high-output oil systems found in Cheshire's rural commercial and agricultural sector.
When a commercial oil boiler fails at a rural Cheshire business, a Nantwich care home, a Knutsford hotel, or any off-gas-grid commercial premises across the county, fast response is essential. Our engineers respond quickly to oil boiler breakdowns across Cheshire — carrying diagnostic equipment and commonly required parts to maximise the chance of a first-visit repair. We cover all major oil boiler brands and all system configurations.
We supply and install commercial and industrial oil storage tanks across Cheshire — including single-skin steel tanks, bunded steel tanks, and bunded plastic tanks in capacities from 1,000 litres upwards to large-scale industrial installations.All installations are carried out to current OFTEC and Oil Storage Regulations standards — with correct secondary containment, overfill protection, correct siting relative to boundaries and drainage, and full commissioning documentation. We also carry out oil tank replacements where existing tanks are reaching end of life, failing structurally, or no longer compliant with current regulations.Rural Cheshire — across the Cheshire Plain, the East Cheshire hills, the Wirral hinterland, and the border areas with Shropshire and Staffordshire — has a very high concentration of commercial premises, farms, and agricultural operations with oil storage and heating systems of all sizes requiring OFTEC compliant installation and maintenance.
Current Oil Storage Regulations require commercial premises storing above certain thresholds to use bunded tanks or provide secondary containment. Many older commercial and agricultural properties across rural Cheshire — farms, equestrian facilities, rural hotels, country estates, and off-gas-grid commercial buildings — still operate single-skin tanks that no longer meet current regulatory requirements.We assess existing oil storage installations across Cheshire, advise on compliance obligations, and carry out bunded tank upgrades and secondary containment installations to bring sites into full regulatory compliance — avoiding enforcement action and protecting against potentially costly oil spill incidents and environmental liability.
When oil-fired systems across Cheshire are being converted to alternative fuels, replaced, or decommissioned as part of a site redevelopment or conversion project, oil tanks must be safely cleaned, made inert, and removed in full compliance with current waste regulations. We carry out commercial and industrial oil tank decommissioning across Cheshire — including tank cleaning, degassing, cutting and removal, and appropriate waste disposal documentation.
We maintain and repair oil pipework, oil pumps, fuel filters, de-aerators, and associated fuel supply equipment across Cheshire commercial and industrial sites. Oil pipework deterioration, pump wear, and blocked or saturated filters are among the most common causes of oil boiler breakdown and efficiency loss. Regular inspection and maintenance of the complete fuel supply system is an essential part of any commercial oil maintenance programme.
We carry out full commercial and industrial oil system inspections across Cheshire — covering oil storage, pipework, burners, boilers, and all associated equipment. Commonly required for commercial property acquisitions, lease renewals, farm tenancy agreements, insurance renewals, and proactive compliance strategies. Full written compliance report and OFTEC documentation provided on completion.
The most cost-effective approach to managing commercial oil heating plant is through a planned preventative maintenance programme. AAC Gas offer tailored PPM contracts for Cheshire businesses operating oil-fired systems — scheduling regular servicing, combustion analysis, filter changes, and system checks to prevent breakdowns, extend equipment life, and maintain full OFTEC compliance throughout the year.

Agricultural and Rural Commercial Rural Cheshire — across the Cheshire Plain, the Delamere Forest area, East Cheshire, and the border areas approaching Shropshire and Staffordshire — has one of the highest concentrations of commercial agricultural and rural commercial oil users in the North West. Farms, equestrian facilities, livery yards, rural estates, and agricultural businesses across the county rely on oil-fired heating as their primary commercial fuel source.

We provide oil boiler servicing, emergency cover, and tank maintenance for the premium rural hospitality sector across Cheshire.
