Oxford Student Accommodation Boiler Room Upgrade – Efficient, Modern Heating Solutions

Boiler room upgrade in Oxford student accommodation plant room

Why Upgrade a Student Accommodation Boiler Room?

Heating and hot water are essential for every student residence. If your system is outdated, inefficient, or prone to breakdowns, it could be costing you more than you realise.


Improve Efficiency

New condensing commercial boilers and advanced controls reduce fuel consumption, helping to lower energy bills and environmental impact.


Increase Reliability

Breakdowns can disrupt hundreds of students at once. Upgrading reduces emergency call-outs and ensures year-round dependability.


Meet Modern Regulations

Upgrades ensure compliance with the latest Gas Safe, OFTEC, and Building Regulation standards.


Better Control & Monitoring

Modern systems allow for zoning, smart controls, and integration with Building Management Systems (BMS).


Enhance Safety

Improved flues, isolation valves, and fail-safes ensure a safer, fully compliant plant room.
