Kitchen Condensing Oil Boilers
Our kitchen condensing boilers maximise efficiency through advanced heat exchanger design. The stainless-steel secondary heat exchanger captures waste heat from exhaust gases, achieving 91% efficiency. Designed for tight spaces, these boilers combine high performance with discreet installation, making them ideal for modern homes requiring both functionality and space-saving solutions.
External Condensing Oil Boilers
Engineered for external installation, these boilers feature weather-resistant casings and fully insulated jackets. The design incorporates corrosion-resistant materials and vibration-dampening mounts to ensure quiet operation. Perfect for properties where internal space is limited, they maintain 91% efficiency while complying with outdoor installation safety standards.
Wall-mounted Internal Boilers
Designed for vertical installation in utility rooms or kitchens, these boilers use front-access panels for easy maintenance. The compact design integrates seamlessly with existing pipework while maintaining full serviceability. Includes built-in fire valves and oil filters to meet building regulations without requiring additional components.

We have fitted a number of Hounsfield boilers recently and have been very pleased with the product. They are simple to install, easy to service and are very quiet when in operation. We are very fortunate to have a great manufacture on our doorstep.

Had been looking to replace my old boiler but didn't know who to use or which boiler. I was recommended to Hilton heating who suggested a Hounsfield. I decided to do some research and unlike all the other makes had all positive feedback. I sent an email to Hounsfield and within a short while the owner contacted me and gave me lots of information. Also sent me literature. My new boiler has now been fitted, looks smart, small and quiet, was replaced in a day, working well. Early days yet as I am a pessimist but all good so far, seems to be more efficient too.

I contacted Andrew and his team when my local supplier let me down on a oil boiler delivery (we had already removed the boiler before we had the news the new boiler wasn't coming). He was very helpful to deal… with on the phone and within 1 hour I had collected the boiler from this office. Very simple to install and all components look and feel top quality. I will definitely be using Hounsfield boilers as my number 1 choice from now on.
