hi guys how do i get into oil. im domestic commertial industrail and lpg already want to get into oil any help would be good cheers in adavance pete
 
same as gas, experience and training and then you start to learn on your own
 
Call OFTEC and they will let you know your nearest training centre. You'll have to buy the technical books too.

It's not hard, but if you can work with an experienced oil engineer you will learn loads more than the colleges will teach you.

I have a mate I can call if I get stuck as I'm more experienced with gas than oil (done oil for years, but not so much of it).

And there is this forum which can be so helpful.

I was a bit stumped with an oil fired boiler today. I'll post it up tomorrow. Took lots of nice piccies for everyone.
 
give it a few years and u to can end up looking like croppie, and i dont believe thats photo imaging, more years of single malt
 
hi guys any ideas on costing traing registitons ect cheers in advance
 
A days training at Worcester Bosch is ÂŁ60! Thought that was quite reasonable. Introduction to oil, spend the whole day installing and serve cing, no commissioning though.

What experience have you had with oil? and what you looking to do once you have your quals? service? / install?
 
ive had a little bit of experiance in oil few installs when working with someone and ive changed about 15 to gas and a few to LPG but no servicing but looking to open a lot of doors as i work in a LPG house and next door wants work doing but it oil so cant do it
 
Are you a ciphe member? Worcester give a 15% training discount, thought that was quite good.
 
there is no differance between the two ive removed it from van ect just says domestic commertial LPG & OIL
 
HELLO CROPPIE
DID MY OIL TRAINING IN DUBLIN CHEVRON SERVICES good course 1000euros BUT you will do it cheeper up north also did my ACS for gas in belfast good course far better than the course i did on gas in Dublin Well as i allways say far better training in uk then in DUBLIN Far better tex books etc Doing service down here for 49.95 does not cover driveing to job And for that service they dont do letbuy test might do soundness test dont strip down burner or clean dont check heating side and dont check pressure at gas valve PLUS if they fit condensing boiler most of the time 15mm going to boiler when it should 22mm result under gassed most of the flues i have seen you can nearly hang your coat on to long DAVE01
 
Difference between industrial and commercial ?
In the good old days commercial= shops, hotels, schools, nursing home etc industrial = more factory based generally with heaters and process burners etc Thats how it was defined whilst I was at BG!
 
i was genuinly wondering wasnt trying to catch you out !

i thought it was differant but realized after it was the same so changed it now im hoping to be getting into oil so i can do practically any thing
 
domestic comertial LPG & OIL
