Your Heating System Shouldn’t be a Costly Liability.

Want to Try assessing your problem before we come out?

• Check your thermostat and make sure it’s set above the temperature in the room.  The thermostat “calls” for heat and needs to be set above room temperature.
• Make sure you have oil in your tank.  If you’re on will-call delivery, this is the most likely reason for no-heat
• Check your EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF switch.  This is a common culprit, as people accidentally shut it off, especially if it isn’t located properly. Make sure the switch is in the “ON” position.
• Sometimes a simple system reset is all that’s needed. Locate your heating system’s burner and press the red reset button ONCE (and only ONCE) and listen for the system to start up.
• If you feel comfortable, check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers in your electrical supply panel. A breaker switch is tripped if it is moved slightly from the ON position

• Vacuum heating unit, vent pipe, and chimney base if accessible
• Conduct tests to determine how to restore system to peak efficiency
• Adjust burner for maximum efficiency
• Clean and adjust electrode and nozzle assembly
• Lubricate all motors, bearings, fans, and circulators
• Replace oil nozzle and oil filter
• Test and adjust all safety and operating controls
• Inspect flue pipe, barometric damper, and combustion chamber
• Test oil pump operation
• Check oil tank lines
