Everything Your Oil System Needs

Oil burner service covers the full range of maintenance and repairs your heating system requires. This includes annual cleaning and tune-ups that keep everything running smoothly, plus emergency repairs when something goes wrong.

Many Plymouth County homes have oil systems that are 15-20 years old or more. These systems can run reliably for decades with proper care, but they need technicians who understand their specific requirements. Modern oil burners are more efficient than older models, but even older systems can perform well with regular maintenance.

Our service also includes oil burner installation when replacement makes more sense than continued repairs. Sometimes the most cost-effective solution is upgrading to a newer, more efficient unit that will provide better heat and lower fuel costs.

How often should I have my oil burner serviced?

Annual service is the standard recommendation for oil burners, typically done before heating season begins in fall. This timing ensures your system is clean and properly adjusted before you need it most. However, systems that run heavily or are older may benefit from service twice per year. During annual service, we clean the combustion chamber, replace filters, check fuel lines, test safety controls, and adjust the burner for optimal efficiency. This prevents most breakdowns and keeps your system running at peak performance throughout winter.

What are signs my oil burner needs immediate repair?

Several warning signs indicate your oil burner needs prompt attention. If your system won’t start or keeps shutting off, that’s an obvious emergency. Strange noises like banging, squealing, or rumbling often signal mechanical problems. Yellow or smoky flames instead of blue indicate combustion issues that waste fuel and can be dangerous. Strong fuel odors suggest leaks that require immediate attention. Higher than normal fuel consumption or uneven heating throughout your home also indicate problems. Don’t ignore these signs – addressing them quickly prevents more expensive repairs and ensures safe operation.

Can you service all types of oil burners and furnaces?

Yes, our technicians work on all major brands and types of oil heating systems commonly found in Plymouth County homes. This includes older cast iron boilers, modern high-efficiency furnaces, and combination units that provide both heat and hot water. Whether you have a Beckett, Riello, Carlin, or other burner brand, our technicians have the experience and parts access to service your system properly. We also work on both forced air and hydronic (hot water/steam) heating systems. The key is having technicians who understand oil combustion and the specific requirements these systems have.

How much does oil burner cleaning and maintenance typically cost?

Oil burner service costs vary based on what your system needs, but annual maintenance is typically more affordable than emergency repairs. Routine cleaning and tune-ups cost less than major component replacements or emergency service calls. The exact cost depends on your system type, accessibility, and any parts that need replacement during service. Many homeowners find that joining a service plan or maintenance program like our Comfort Club provides better value and priority service. Regular maintenance also saves money long-term by improving efficiency and preventing expensive breakdowns during peak heating season.

Do you provide emergency oil burner repair service?

Yes, we provide emergency oil burner repair when your heating system fails unexpectedly. Heating emergencies don’t follow business hours, especially during cold snaps when you need heat most. Emergency service focuses on diagnosing the problem quickly and restoring heat to your home as fast as possible. Common emergency repairs include replacing failed ignition systems, clearing blocked fuel lines, fixing broken pumps, or resetting safety controls that have shut the system down. While emergency service costs more than scheduled maintenance, getting your heat restored quickly prevents pipes from freezing and keeps your family comfortable.

Should I repair or replace my old oil burner?

The decision depends on your system’s age, condition, and repair history. Oil burners that are well-maintained can last 20-30 years, but efficiency decreases over time. If your system is over 15 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement often makes financial sense. Newer oil burners are significantly more efficient, which reduces fuel costs. They also have better safety features and more reliable components. We can assess your current system’s condition and help you understand whether repair or replacement provides better long-term value. Factors include repair costs, fuel efficiency, reliability, and how long you plan to stay in your home.
