Oil Burner Service Process

Straightforward Service That Actually Works

Every oil burner service starts with a complete inspection of your entire heating system. Our technician checks the burner components, fuel lines, filters, and safety controls to identify any current issues or potential problems.

Next comes the cleaning process. Oil burners accumulate soot and debris that reduces efficiency and can cause breakdowns. Professional cleaning removes these deposits and restores proper airflow and combustion.

Finally, we test and adjust the system to ensure it’s running at peak efficiency. You get a clear explanation of what was done, what condition your system is in, and recommendations for keeping it running smoothly. No surprises, no pressure, just honest information you can use to make good decisions.

Most oil burners should be serviced annually, ideally before the heating season begins in late fall. Annual service includes cleaning, filter replacement, and safety inspections that prevent most breakdowns. If your system is older or has had previous problems, twice-yearly service might be worth considering. Regular maintenance typically pays for itself through improved efficiency and fewer emergency repairs. Skipping annual service often leads to higher fuel bills and unexpected breakdowns during the coldest weather when you need heat most.
Strange noises like rumbling, screeching, or banging usually indicate mechanical problems that need attention. Yellow or smoky flames instead of clean blue flames suggest combustion issues. Strong fuel odors, especially around the burner or tank, require immediate professional attention for safety reasons. Frequent cycling on and off, uneven heating, or higher than normal fuel consumption also signal problems. If your burner won’t start or keeps shutting off, don’t keep trying to restart it – call for service to avoid making the problem worse or creating safety hazards.
This depends on the age of your burner, the cost of repairs, and how efficiently it’s running. If repair costs exceed half the price of a new burner, replacement usually makes more sense. Burners over 15-20 years old often benefit from replacement due to improved efficiency and reliability of newer models. Frequent breakdowns, high fuel consumption, or difficulty finding replacement parts also point toward replacement. A good technician will give you honest recommendations based on your specific situation, not try to sell you the most expensive option.
Standard annual service usually takes 1-2 hours depending on your system’s condition and any issues discovered. This includes cleaning, inspection, filter replacement, and testing. If repairs are needed, the time depends on what parts need replacement and whether they’re available on the truck. Emergency service calls for non-heating situations get priority and are typically completed the same day. Complex installations or major repairs might require scheduling a return visit with specialized parts or equipment.
Yes, emergency heating service is available when your oil burner stops working, especially during cold weather. Emergency calls get prioritized because no heat in winter is a serious situation. While emergency service costs more than scheduled maintenance, the focus is getting your heat restored safely and quickly. Many heating emergencies can be prevented with annual maintenance, but when breakdowns happen, you need a company that responds promptly and has the parts and expertise to fix the problem right.
The Dempsey Comfort Club provides ongoing support and priority service for members who want to stay ahead of heating and plumbing problems.
