OFTEC’s new consultancy service

Oil Firing Technical Association

The Oil Firing Technical Association (OFTEC) has launched a consultancy service to provide independent evaluations of oil-fired installations. Developed in response to customer demand, typical clients include landlords and facilities managers in the public and private sectors. The service is designed to help clients assess their oil-fired installations and can also assist in resolving disputes — for example where the installation has been completed but the customer feels the system is not performing correctly.

If the parties are unable to resolve the situation amicably and both agree, OFTEC can carry out an independent inspection and provide a report with recommendations that both parties agree to abide by.
