Professional Oil Furnace Service

What Proper Service Actually Does

Your oil burner works harder than almost any appliance in your home. 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 notice lower heating bills because a clean system burns fuel more completely. You’ll sleep better knowing your heat won’t quit during a February cold snap.

Most importantly, you’ll avoid those emergency calls that always seem to happen on the coldest day of the year. A well-maintained oil burner can run for decades. A neglected one will leave you scrambling for space heaters and emergency repair bills that could have been prevented.

Oil Burner Repair Process

Here's How We Service Your System

We start with a complete inspection of your oil burner, checking everything from the combustion chamber to the fuel delivery system. Our technicians look for wear patterns, efficiency issues, and potential problems before they become expensive repairs.

Next comes the cleaning process. We remove built-up soot and debris that reduces efficiency and can cause system failures. The heat exchanger, burner assembly, and chimney connections all get thorough attention.

Finally, we test and tune your system for optimal performance. We adjust the fuel-to-air mixture, check safety controls, and make sure everything is running as efficiently as possible. You’ll get a clear report on what we found and what your system needs to keep running reliably.

Most oil burners should be serviced annually, ideally before the heating season begins in early fall. If you use your system heavily or have an older unit, twice-yearly service can help prevent problems and maintain efficiency. Regular service includes cleaning the combustion chamber, replacing filters, checking safety controls, and tuning the system for optimal performance. Homes in coastal areas like Marshfield may benefit from more frequent service due to salt air exposure, which can accelerate corrosion and affect system components.
Call for service immediately if you smell oil fumes, hear unusual noises like banging or grinding, or notice your system cycling on and off frequently. Other warning signs include yellow or smoky flames instead of blue, soot around the unit, or significantly higher oil consumption than normal. If your system won’t start or keeps shutting down, don’t attempt to restart it repeatedly – this can cause damage or create safety hazards. Strange smells, especially burning odors or strong oil fumes, should never be ignored as they can indicate dangerous conditions.
Most oil burners can be thoroughly cleaned and restored to efficient operation, even if they haven’t been serviced in years. Professional cleaning removes soot buildup, replaces worn components, and can dramatically improve efficiency and reliability. However, units over 20-25 years old or those with cracked heat exchangers, corroded combustion chambers, or repeated expensive repairs may be better candidates for replacement. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your system’s condition and help you decide whether cleaning and repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
Oil consumption varies significantly based on your home’s size, insulation, thermostat settings, and winter weather conditions. A typical 1,500-2,000 square foot home in Massachusetts might use 800-1,200 gallons per heating season. If your usage has increased dramatically without changes to your heating habits, your system may need cleaning or repair. Dirty burners, worn components, or poor combustion can increase fuel consumption by 15-30%. Regular maintenance helps ensure you’re getting maximum heat from every gallon of oil you purchase.
Yes, we provide emergency oil burner repair services throughout the heating season. We understand that heating system failures don’t wait for convenient times, and we prioritize emergency calls during cold weather. Our technicians carry common replacement parts and diagnostic equipment to handle most emergency repairs on the first visit. Dempsey Comfort Club members receive priority scheduling for emergency service calls. While we can’t prevent every possible breakdown, regular maintenance significantly reduces the likelihood of emergency situations during the coldest months.
Oil burner repairs should be left to qualified technicians due to safety concerns and the complexity of these systems. Working with oil, combustion systems, and electrical components requires proper training and tools. DIY attempts can create dangerous conditions, void warranties, or cause expensive damage. However, you can help maintain your system by keeping the area around your oil burner clean, checking that vents aren’t blocked, and replacing air filters regularly. If your system isn’t working, check your thermostat settings and ensure your oil tank isn’t empty before calling for service.
