Dover Oil Furnace Service

Reliable Heat When It Matters Most

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

Professional oil burner service keeps your system clean, efficient, and ready for whatever winter throws at Dover. Regular cleaning removes the soot and debris that clog your system and waste your heating oil. Proper maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs.

You get consistent heat throughout your home, lower oil consumption, and the confidence that your family stays warm even during the coldest stretches. No more worrying about strange noises, uneven heating, or that moment when the system just stops working.

Oil Burner Cleaning Process

Here's What Happens During Service

We start by inspecting your entire oil burner system to see what’s working well and what needs attention. This includes checking the burner assembly, heat exchanger, flue pipe, and all safety controls.

Next comes the cleaning process. We remove soot and debris from the combustion chamber, clean the burner nozzle and electrodes, and make sure air flow is unrestricted. We also check and clean the oil filter and inspect all connections.

Finally, we test everything to make sure your system is running efficiently and safely. We’ll show you what we found, explain any issues, and give you straight answers about what your system needs to keep running reliably. You’ll know exactly where you stand before we leave.

Oil Burner Repair Dover

Complete Oil Burner Service Coverage

Our oil burner service covers everything your heating system needs to run efficiently and safely. We handle routine cleaning and maintenance, emergency repairs, and complete system installations when it’s time for a replacement.

Many Dover homes have oil burners that are 15-20 years old or more. These systems can run for decades with proper care, but they need regular attention to stay efficient. We know which parts commonly fail, how to extend system life, and when it makes sense to repair versus replace.

Whether you need annual maintenance, emergency repair, or you’re dealing with ongoing issues like uneven heating or high oil consumption, we have the experience to get your system back to reliable operation. Our goal is keeping you comfortable while helping your system last as long as possible.

Most oil burners should be serviced annually, ideally before the heating season starts in late fall. Annual service includes cleaning the combustion chamber, replacing the oil filter and burner nozzle, and checking all safety controls. If your system is older or you use a lot of heating oil, you might benefit from service twice a year. Regular service prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently, which saves money on heating oil costs.
Watch for several warning signs that indicate your oil burner needs attention. These include unusual noises like rumbling or banging, uneven heating throughout your home, higher than normal oil consumption, soot around the unit, or strange odors. If your system is cycling on and off frequently, taking longer to heat your home, or if you notice any smoke, these are clear indicators that professional service is needed. Don’t ignore these signs – addressing them early prevents more expensive problems later.
Yes, our technicians work on all major oil burner brands and models, including older systems that have been in homes for decades.

Whether your system is 5 years old or 25 years old, we have the experience and parts availability to keep it running properly.
A standard oil burner cleaning and tune-up usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the condition of your system and any issues we discover.

We’ll always explain what we’re finding and give you an estimate of additional time needed before proceeding with any repairs beyond the basic service.
