Everything Your Oil Burner Needs

We handle oil burner cleaning that removes the buildup affecting your system’s efficiency. Regular cleaning means lower fuel costs and fewer unexpected breakdowns during heating season.

Our repair services cover everything from ignition problems to fuel delivery issues. We stock common parts and can usually fix your oil burner the same day we diagnose the problem.

For new installations, we help you choose the right size oil burner for your home and install it properly. Fall River’s older homes sometimes need creative solutions, and we’ve figured out how to make modern oil burners work in houses that weren’t designed for them.

Most oil burners need professional cleaning and maintenance once a year, ideally before heating season starts in the fall. If you’re burning more than 1,000 gallons of oil per year, you might benefit from twice-yearly service. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs and keeps your system running efficiently. We typically recommend scheduling your annual service in September or early October, before you really need your heat.
Watch for unusual sounds like rumbling, banging, or squealing when your burner kicks on. If you smell oil, see black smoke from your chimney, or notice your fuel bills going up without using more heat, something’s wrong. Your burner cycling on and off frequently or not heating your home evenly are also red flags. Don’t ignore these warning signs – catching problems early usually means simpler, less expensive repairs.
Yes, we work on oil burners of all ages, including older systems that other companies might not want to touch. Many Fall River homes have oil burners that are 15-20 years old or more, and these systems can often be maintained and repaired effectively. We keep parts for older models and know how to work around discontinued components. Sometimes an older oil burner just needs proper maintenance to run like new again.
A thorough oil burner cleaning and tune-up typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on how dirty your system is and what maintenance items need attention. We clean the combustion chamber, replace filters, check all safety controls, and test the system’s operation. If we find problems that need repair, that can add time to the service call. We’ll let you know upfront if we discover anything that needs immediate attention.
Yes, we understand that oil burners don’t break down on convenient schedules. When your heating system fails during cold weather, you need help fast. We prioritize emergency calls and work to get your heat restored as quickly as possible. Emergency repairs do cost more than scheduled service, but we’re upfront about pricing and focus on getting your family warm again safely.
Our maintenance service includes cleaning the combustion chamber, replacing oil and air filters, checking and adjusting the burner flame, testing all safety controls, and inspecting the heat exchanger and venting system. We also check your fuel lines, test the thermostat operation, and look for any signs of wear or potential problems.
