AAC Gas provide specialist commercial and industrial oil services across the North of England. OFTEC registered and based in Higher Walton, Preston, our engineers service, repair, and maintain oil-fired heating systems, oil boilers, oil burners, and oil storage tanks for businesses across Preston, Lancashire, Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, Cumbria, Yorkshire, and all surrounding rural and semi-rural areas.

While the majority of urban and industrial commercial premises operate on mains gas, a significant proportion of the North of England's rural and semi-rural businesses rely on oil-fired heating. The Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District, the Ribble Valley, the Forest of Bowland, rural Cheshire, and the agricultural belts across Lancashire, Cumbria, and North Yorkshire all have high concentrations of commercial premises, farms, and rural estates operating oil-fired systems — from country house hotels and rural care homes to farms, equestrian facilities, and off-gas-grid commercial buildings.

Our Commercial & Industrial Oil Services

Commercial & Industrial Oil Boiler Servicing & Maintenance

We service and maintain commercial and industrial oil boilers across the North of England — covering all major manufacturers. Every service includes:

• Full oil burner inspection and strip
• Combustion analysis and flue gas testing — CO₂, O₂, CO, and flue gas temperature measured and recorded
• Heat exchanger inspection — checked for cracking, scaling, fouling, or corrosion
• Fuel pump and filter checks
• Oil line integrity testing
• Controls and safety device testing
• Nozzle replacement where required
• Full written service report with OFTEC documentation issued on completion

Planned preventative maintenance contracts available for businesses requiring year-round oil boiler coverage.

Oil Burner Servicing, Repairs & Combustion Tuning

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 including pressure jet, rotary cup, and vaporising burners.Full burner services include:

• Nozzle replacement
• Electrode inspection and adjustment
• Photocell cleaning and testing
• Combustion head inspection
• Fuel pump pressure testing
• Full combustion analysis with CO and CO₂ measurement

Combustion tuning reduces fuel consumption and ensures safe, efficient operation — particularly valuable for high-output oil systems in large rural commercial premises running through long winter seasons.

Commercial Oil Boiler Repairs

Fast response oil boiler repairs across the North of England. Our engineers carry diagnostic equipment and commonly required parts to maximise the chance of a first-visit repair at any commercial premises across the region.

Oil Tank Installation & Replacement

We supply and install commercial and industrial oil storage tanks across the North of England — including:

• Single-skin steel tanks
• Bunded steel tanks
• Bunded plastic tanks
• Capacities from 1,000 litres upwards to large-scale agricultural and estate installations

All installations are carried out to current OFTEC and Oil Storage Regulations standards including:

• Correct secondary containment
• Overfill protection
• Correct siting relative to boundaries and drainage
• 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.

Bunded Oil Tank Upgrades & Secondary Containment

Current Oil Storage Regulations require commercial premises above certain storage thresholds to use bunded tanks or provide secondary containment. Many older commercial and agricultural properties across rural Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cumbria still operate single-skin tanks that no longer meet current regulatory requirements.We assess existing oil storage installations, advise on compliance obligations, and carry out bunded tank upgrades to bring sites into full regulatory compliance — protecting against oil spill incidents and associated environmental and legal consequences.

Oil Tank Decommissioning & Removal

When oil-fired systems are being converted to alternative fuels, replaced, or decommissioned, oil tanks must be safely cleaned, made inert, and removed in full compliance with waste regulations. We carry out commercial and industrial oil tank decommissioning across the North of England including:

• Tank cleaning and degassing
• Safe cutting and removal
• Appropriate waste disposal documentation

Oil Pipework, Pumps & Filter Maintenance

We maintain and repair oil pipework, oil pumps, fuel filters, de-aerators, and associated fuel supply equipment across commercial and industrial sites. Regular inspection and maintenance of the complete fuel supply system is essential — particularly in Cumbria and Yorkshire where cold temperatures affect fuel viscosity and can accelerate filter blockages during winter.

Oil System Inspections & Compliance

We carry out full commercial and industrial oil system inspections across the North of England — covering oil storage, pipework, burners, boilers, and all associated equipment. Commonly required for:

• Commercial property acquisitions
• Farm tenancy renewals
• Insurance renewals
• Hotel and hospitality business due diligence

Full written compliance report and OFTEC documentation provided on completion.

Planned Preventative Maintenance Contracts

The most cost-effective approach to managing commercial oil heating plant is through a planned preventative maintenance programme. For rural businesses — particularly those in isolated locations where response times for emergency call-outs can be longer — a PPM contract provides the most reliable protection against costly unplanned breakdowns.

24/7 Emergency Oil Heating Response

Commercial oil heating emergencies require an OFTEC registered engineer with genuine commercial oil experience. Our engineers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency commercial and industrial oil call-outs across the North of England.
