Most oil burners should be cleaned and serviced annually, ideally before the heating season begins in October. Annual service removes soot buildup, replaces filters and nozzles, and ensures all safety controls work properly. If you use your oil burner heavily or have an older system, you might benefit from service twice per year. Regular service prevents breakdowns, improves efficiency, and can reduce your heating oil consumption by 5-10%. Skipping annual service often leads to more expensive repairs and higher fuel bills.
Call for immediate service if your burner won’t start, keeps shutting off, or produces black smoke from the chimney. Strange noises like rumbling, banging, or squealing indicate mechanical problems that need attention. If you smell oil fumes in your basement or notice oil puddles around the tank or burner, stop using the system and call for emergency service. Yellow flames instead of blue, soot around vents, or higher than normal oil consumption also signal problems requiring professional diagnosis and repair.
Yes, we regularly service oil burners of all ages, including older systems common in Quincy’s established neighborhoods. Many oil burners from the 1980s and 1990s can run efficiently for decades with proper maintenance. We keep parts for older systems and know how to work with discontinued models. However, if your system is over 20 years old and requiring frequent repairs, we’ll give you honest advice about whether continued service or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
Complete oil burner cleaning includes removing and cleaning the entire burner assembly, clearing soot from the heat exchanger and flue passages, and replacing the oil filter and burner nozzle. We clean or replace the air filter, check and adjust the air-to-fuel ratio for optimal combustion, and test all safety controls including the flame sensor and pressure switches. We also inspect the chimney, check for oil leaks, test carbon monoxide levels, and provide a full system performance report with recommendations for any needed repairs.
Yes, we provide emergency oil burner repair service for heating system failures. When your oil burner stops working during cold weather, we respond quickly to diagnose and repair the problem. Common emergency repairs include replacing failed ignition systems, clearing clogged nozzles, resetting safety lockouts, and fixing fuel delivery problems. Emergency service is available for existing customers and new clients throughout Quincy and Norfolk County. Our goal is always to restore heat to your home as quickly and safely as possible.
The decision depends on your system’s age, condition, and repair history. If your oil burner is under 15 years old and well-maintained, repair usually makes sense for most problems. Systems over 20 years old with frequent breakdowns, poor efficiency, or major component failures often benefit from replacement. We provide honest assessments based on repair costs versus replacement benefits, including improved efficiency and reliability. We’ll explain your options clearly so you can make the best decision for your home and budget without pressure to choose the more expensive option.
