Oil Furnace Service Braintree

No More Cold Nights or Surprise Breakdowns

Your oil burner works harder during Massachusetts winters than almost anywhere else. When it’s running right, you don’t think about it. When it’s not, everything stops.

Regular oil burner service keeps your system clean, efficient, and reliable. You’ll use less heating oil, breathe cleaner air, and sleep better knowing your heat won’t quit when temperatures drop. Most importantly, you avoid those emergency calls when your family needs heat most.

A well-maintained oil burner can run 15-20 years without major problems. Skip the maintenance, and you’re looking at expensive repairs or replacement much sooner. The math is simple: preventive service costs a fraction of emergency repairs.

Oil Burner Repair Process

Straightforward Service, No Surprises

When you call for oil burner service, we schedule a time that works for your schedule. Our technician arrives with the tools and parts needed for most common repairs and maintenance.

First, we inspect your entire system – burner, heat exchanger, flue, and controls. We test everything to see how it’s running and identify any problems before they become expensive failures. You’ll know exactly what we found and what needs attention.

For routine maintenance, we clean the burner assembly, replace filters, check safety controls, and tune the system for maximum efficiency. For repairs, we explain what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and how long the repair should last. No work starts until you approve it.

After service, we test everything to make sure your heat is working properly. You get a clear summary of what we did and recommendations for keeping your system running smoothly.

Most oil burners should be serviced annually, ideally before the heating season starts in fall. If your system is older than 15 years or you’ve had recent problems, twice-yearly service can prevent bigger issues. Regular service includes cleaning the burner assembly, replacing filters, checking safety controls, and tuning the system for efficiency. Annual maintenance typically prevents 80% of emergency breakdowns and keeps your heating costs lower by maintaining peak efficiency.
Call for oil burner repair if you notice yellow flames instead of blue, strong odors when the system runs, frequent cycling on and off, or unusual noises like rumbling or screeching. Black soot around vents, higher than normal oil usage, or uneven heating throughout your home also indicate problems. Never ignore safety issues like gas odors or visible smoke – shut off your system and call immediately. Most of these problems get worse quickly and cost more to fix if you wait.
Professional oil burner cleaning typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on your system’s condition and size. The process includes disassembling burner components, cleaning soot and debris from the combustion chamber, replacing filters, and testing all safety controls. If we find problems during cleaning, repairs might extend the service time. We’ll let you know upfront if additional work is needed and how long it will take. Most routine cleanings are completed in a single visit.
If your oil burner is over 20 years old and needs expensive repairs, replacement usually makes more sense financially. Newer systems are significantly more efficient and reliable. However, if your system is 10-15 years old and well-maintained, repairs are often the better choice. We’ll assess your system’s condition, explain repair costs versus replacement benefits, and help you make the decision that saves you money long-term. Age alone doesn’t determine the best choice – overall condition and repair history matter more.
Yes, we provide emergency oil burner repair when your heating system fails unexpectedly. Massachusetts winters don’t wait for convenient timing, and neither do we. Emergency service includes diagnosing the problem, temporary repairs to restore heat if possible, and permanent solutions to prevent future failures. While we prioritize emergency calls, routine maintenance customers through our Dempsey Comfort Club get priority scheduling. The best way to avoid emergencies is regular preventive service, but when problems happen, we’re here to help.
Complete oil burner installation includes removing your old system, installing the new burner properly sized for your home, connecting all fuel lines and electrical controls, and testing everything for safe operation.
