How Much Is Poor Efficiency Costing You Right Now?
If your burner hasn't been serviced in over a year, you're likely losing 5-10% efficiency during the most expensive months of the heating season.
Example: 2,000 sq ft home
Winter Safety: Carbon Monoxide Risks
During peak heating season, your burner runs 12-16 hours per day. A poorly maintained system produces incomplete combustion, increasing carbon monoxide risk when your family is inside with windows closed.
Professional service includes combustion testing to ensure your burner is operating safely. This is especially critical if you've noticed any of these warning signs:
- ⚠️ Headaches or dizziness when home
- ⚠️ Soot buildup around burner or vents
- ⚠️ Yellow or flickering flame
- ⚠️ Excessive moisture on windows
Common Oil Burner Service Questions
When should I get emergency service vs. schedule regular service?
Get emergency service if you have no heat, smell oil inside your home, see leaks, or have carbon monoxide detector alarms. Schedule regular service for preventive maintenance, warning signs like unusual noises or frequent cycling, or if you haven't had service in over a year.
How quickly can I get emergency service?
Most emergency service providers respond quickly and can have a technician on-site as soon as possible, even on weekends and holidays. Response times may vary during severe weather or periods of high demand.
What's the difference between emergency service and regular service?
Emergency service is available for urgent situations like system failures and focuses on restoring heat quickly. Regular scheduled service is more comprehensive, includes preventive maintenance, efficiency testing, and is typically more cost-effective for non-urgent situations.
How often should I have my oil burner serviced?
Annual service is recommended for optimal performance and safety. Even if you missed your fall maintenance, it's beneficial to schedule service during the heating season to prevent problems and maintain efficiency.
What happens if I don't get regular maintenance?
Without regular maintenance, your system's efficiency decreases, fuel costs increase, and the risk of breakdowns rises significantly. Safety issues including carbon monoxide risks can also develop over time.
Can I service my own oil burner?
No. Oil burner service requires specialized tools, training, and licensing. DIY attempts can be dangerous, may void warranties, and could create serious safety hazards.
How long does a service visit typically take?
Service visits vary depending on the type of work needed. Routine maintenance is relatively quick, while emergency repairs can vary based on the problem and parts availability.
My burner seems to be working fine. Do I still need service?
Yes. Many problems develop gradually and aren't immediately noticeable. A burner that seems fine may be operating inefficiently or developing safety issues that only a professional inspection can identify.
What's included in a professional service appointment?
Professional service typically includes cleaning and adjusting components, replacing filters, testing safety controls, measuring efficiency, inspecting the entire heating system, and providing a report on your system's condition.
Are emergency service technicians available on holidays?
Yes, many service providers offer emergency service including holidays when heating system failures are most critical.
