Hi, just looking for info on oil boilers and heating controls.
They seem to be a bit behind gas boilers in terms of efficiency, would I be right in thinking that weather compensation and modulating output isnt common amongst the average modern oil burner?
That leads me to my question, in rural areas where gas is unavailable and the houses are old and poorly insulated do you think that biofuel/biokerosene will be the best option?
I cant see many people being able to undertake the deep retrofit needed for a heatpump but perhaps combined oil and air to water will be utilized.
appreciate any info!
