Oil Burner Repair Process

Here's How We Handle Your Service

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

We start by diagnosing what’s actually wrong. No guessing, no assumptions. We test the system, check the components, and identify the real issue. Then we explain what we found and what it takes to fix it properly.

The repair work happens efficiently. We clean or replace components as needed, test the system thoroughly, and make sure everything operates correctly before we leave. You get heat that works and an explanation of what we did to restore it.

Annual oil burner cleaning and tune-up service is recommended for most systems. This timing allows us to clean combustion components, replace filters, check safety controls, and identify potential issues before they cause breakdowns. If your oil burner runs heavily during winter months or if you notice efficiency declining, you might benefit from service twice per year. Regular maintenance prevents most emergency repairs and keeps your heating costs predictable.
Call for oil burner repair service if you notice these warning signs: the system won’t start or keeps shutting off, unusual noises like grinding or banging, visible smoke or strong odors, yellow or flickering flames instead of steady blue, or significantly higher heating bills without explanation. These symptoms often indicate safety issues or component failures that need professional attention. Don’t ignore warning signs with oil heating systems – early repair prevents more expensive problems.
Yes, our oil burner technicians work on all major brands and models of oil heating systems. This includes older units common in Norfolk County homes as well as newer high-efficiency models. We service conventional oil burners, flame retention burners, and combination heating systems. Our experience with the variety of oil heating equipment in Brookline and surrounding areas means we understand the specific requirements and common issues with different system types.
We prioritize emergency oil burner repairs, especially during heating season when you need heat restored quickly. Response time depends on current service demand and weather conditions, but we understand that heating emergencies can’t wait. Our technicians carry common replacement parts and diagnostic equipment to resolve many issues during the first visit. Dempsey Comfort Club members receive priority scheduling for both emergency and routine service calls.
Complete oil burner cleaning involves removing and cleaning the burner assembly, replacing the oil filter and nozzle, cleaning the combustion chamber and heat exchanger, checking and adjusting the air-to-fuel ratio, testing safety controls, and verifying proper operation. We also inspect the chimney connection, check for leaks, and test system efficiency. This thorough cleaning removes soot buildup that reduces efficiency and can cause operational problems. Proper cleaning typically improves heating efficiency and reduces operating costs.
Oil burner replacement makes sense when repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost, when the unit requires frequent repairs, or when efficiency has declined significantly despite proper maintenance. Age alone isn’t the deciding factor – some older oil burners run reliably for decades with proper care. We’ll assess your specific situation honestly and explain whether repair or replacement offers better value. Factors include the condition of your existing system, available efficiency improvements, and your long-term heating plans.
