Hi,

Are their any books people would recommend to learn about oil boilers, maintenance, fault finding & installation? i would like to become often in the future and would like to start learning.

appreciate the help
 
Have a look at the books on the OFTEC site.

Now look for them second hand on ebay etc. They'll get you started. They'll be out of date but, if you decide to go ahead with the OFTEC courses, you can buy the new ones and put the old ones back on ebay.
 
Hi Davey,

Thanks, seem like gold dust cant find any 2nd hand anywhere often are pricey as I won't be looking to get certified for a couple of years. I will keep an eye out.

Thanks,
Vince
