Plymouth County Oil Furnace Service

No More Cold Nights or Emergency Calls

Your oil burner works harder during Massachusetts winters than almost any other appliance in your home. When it’s running right, you don’t think about it. When it’s not, everything stops.

Regular oil burner service keeps your system running efficiently all season long. You’ll use less heating oil, save money on fuel costs, and avoid those middle-of-the-night breakdowns that always seem to happen during the coldest weeks of winter.

Clean burners burn fuel more completely. That means better heat output, lower emissions, and equipment that lasts longer. Most homeowners in Plymouth County can extend their oil burner’s lifespan by years with proper maintenance and cleaning.

Oil Burner Repair and Cleaning Process

Here's What Happens During Your Service Call

First, we inspect your entire oil burner system to identify any immediate safety concerns or efficiency issues. This includes checking the combustion chamber, heat exchanger, and all electrical connections.

Next comes the cleaning process. We remove built-up soot and debris from the combustion chamber, clean or replace the oil filter, and ensure proper air flow throughout the system. Clean components burn fuel more efficiently and produce more heat.

Finally, we test everything to make sure your oil burner is operating at peak performance. We check fuel pressure, adjust the air-to-fuel ratio if needed, and verify that all safety controls are working properly. You’ll know exactly how your system is performing before we leave.

Oil Burner Installation and Maintenance

Complete Oil Heating System Care

Whether you need routine oil burner cleaning, emergency repairs, or complete system installation, we handle every aspect of oil heating service in White Island Shores and throughout Plymouth County.

Our oil burner cleaning service removes the soot and carbon buildup that reduces efficiency and can cause breakdowns. Most systems need professional cleaning annually, though some older units or those burning lower-grade fuel oil may need attention twice per year.

For oil burner repairs, we carry common replacement parts and can handle most issues the same day. When installation of a new oil burner makes more sense than continued repairs, we’ll walk you through your options and help you choose equipment that fits your home’s heating needs and your budget.

Most oil burners in Plymouth County should be cleaned and serviced annually, ideally before the heating season begins in fall. If you’re burning more than 1,000 gallons of heating oil per year, or if your system is older than 15 years, you might benefit from service twice annually. Signs you need service sooner include higher than normal fuel consumption, unusual odors, or the burner cycling on and off more frequently than usual. Regular maintenance prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently throughout the winter.
A complete oil burner service includes cleaning the combustion chamber, replacing or cleaning the oil filter, checking and adjusting the fuel pump pressure, cleaning the heat exchanger, and testing all safety controls. We also inspect the chimney connection, check for proper ventilation, and verify that the thermostat is communicating correctly with your system. The goal is to ensure your oil burner operates safely and efficiently. Most service calls take 1-2 hours depending on the condition of your equipment and whether any adjustments or minor repairs are needed.
Generally, if your oil burner is less than 20 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new unit, repair makes sense. However, if you’re dealing with frequent breakdowns, significantly higher fuel consumption, or major component failures like a cracked heat exchanger, replacement often provides better long-term value. Age isn’t the only factor though. A well-maintained 25-year-old oil burner might outlast a neglected 10-year-old system. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your equipment’s condition and help you make the decision that makes the most financial sense for your situation.
Yes, our technicians work on all major oil burner brands including Beckett, Riello, Carlin, and Wayne. We service both older cast iron boilers with oil burners and newer high-efficiency units. Each brand has slightly different maintenance requirements and common issues, but the fundamental principles of oil combustion remain the same. We keep common replacement parts in stock for most systems, and we can usually source specialized parts within a day or two if needed. Whether your system is 5 years old or 50 years old, we have the experience to keep it running properly.
First, check that you have heating oil in your tank and that the emergency switch (usually located at the top of your basement stairs) hasn’t been accidentally turned off. If those aren’t the issue, try pressing the reset button on your oil burner once, but don’t keep pressing it repeatedly as this can cause problems. If the system still won’t start, or if you smell oil or notice any unusual sounds, turn off the system and call for service immediately. Never attempt to repair oil heating equipment yourself. These systems involve fuel, electricity, and combustion, which can be dangerous without proper training and tools.
A properly maintained oil burner typically operates 10-15% more efficiently than a neglected system. For a home that uses 1,000 gallons of heating oil annually, that translates to savings of 100-150 gallons per year. At current heating oil prices in Massachusetts, that’s several hundred dollars in annual savings. Beyond fuel savings, regular maintenance prevents costly emergency repairs and extends equipment life. Most homeowners find that annual oil burner service pays for itself through improved efficiency alone, not counting the value of avoiding breakdowns during cold weather when emergency service calls are most expensive.
