My oil switch in the sitting room.. when switched on it’s causing a trip switch to go which won’t stay up. So can’t heat house. Any advice

One thing to try: Turn ALL the trip switches off and then ALL back on again. If that doesnt work repeat with test switch (probably yellow) held down.
Am not electrician but my sparks advised me to try this.....and it worked.

One more thing occurs to me. If your consumer unit is newish, the latest generation are v. sensitive: so, if there are any other items on the same circuit, check and remove anything dodgy, including failed light bulbs.
