Oil Burner Service Process

Here's How We Handle Your Service

Every oil burner service starts with a complete system inspection. Our technician checks your burner’s combustion efficiency, examines the heat exchanger, and tests all safety controls. This tells us exactly what your system needs.

Next comes the cleaning. We’ll remove and clean the burner assembly, replace the oil filter and nozzle, and clean the combustion chamber. A dirty oil burner wastes fuel and creates problems, so this step is crucial for reliable operation.

Finally, we test everything. Our technician fires up your system, checks the flame pattern, measures combustion efficiency, and verifies all safety systems work properly. You’ll know your oil burner is ready for the heating season before we leave.

Oil Burner Cleaning Franklin

What's Included in Professional Oil Burner Service

Professional oil burner service covers everything your heating system needs to run efficiently. This includes cleaning or replacing the oil nozzle, changing the oil filter, and cleaning the combustion chamber of soot and debris.

We also inspect and clean the heat exchanger, check the draft regulator, and test all safety controls. These components work together to ensure safe, efficient operation. When one part isn’t working right, it affects the whole system.

Franklin’s older homes often have oil burners that haven’t been properly maintained. Years of neglect can lead to poor combustion, higher fuel bills, and reliability issues. Professional service addresses these problems and gets your system back to peak performance.

Most oil burners should be serviced annually, ideally before the heating season starts in fall. This timing ensures your system is ready when you need it most. However, older systems or those that run heavily might benefit from service twice a year. Annual service includes cleaning the burner assembly, replacing filters and nozzles, and testing all safety controls. Regular maintenance prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently throughout the winter.
Several warning signs indicate your oil burner needs attention. If you notice a strong oil smell, yellow or smoky flames instead of blue, or frequent cycling on and off, these point to combustion problems. Other red flags include higher than normal fuel bills, soot around the unit, or strange noises during operation. Don’t ignore these symptoms – they typically get worse over time and can lead to complete system failure during cold weather when you need heat most.
Yes, our technicians work on all major oil burner brands and models commonly found in Norfolk County homes. This includes Beckett, Riello, Carlin, and other manufacturers. Whether you have a newer high-efficiency unit or an older cast iron system, we have the experience and parts to service it properly. We carry common replacement parts and can source specialized components for older or less common systems.
Standard oil burner service usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on your system’s condition and any issues discovered during inspection. If your burner just needs routine cleaning and maintenance, expect the shorter timeframe. Systems that haven’t been serviced in years or have underlying problems may take longer. We’ll let you know upfront if we find issues that require additional time or parts. Emergency repairs can vary widely depending on the problem.
This depends on your burner’s age, condition, and repair history. If your system is over 15-20 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement often makes more sense financially. Newer systems are also more efficient, which can lower your fuel costs. However, a well-maintained older system might have years of reliable service left. During service, we can assess your system’s condition and give you honest guidance about repair versus replacement based on what we find.
Yes, we provide emergency oil burner repair services for Franklin and surrounding Norfolk County areas. Heating emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, especially during Massachusetts winters. We understand that a failed oil burner means no heat for your family, so we prioritize these calls.
