Annual Maintenance Saves You Money

If you drove your car for a whole year without taking it to your mechanic for a safety and maintenance check, the risk of your vehicle breaking down would vastly increase.

Just like your car, your home’s heating oil system has a range of electrical and mechanical components that can wear down or break if you don’t follow your equipment manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations. The manufacturer can also void your warranty if you are negligent with equipment maintenance.

In general, a heating oil system should be serviced once a year to ensure your heating oil boiler or heating oil furnace runs efficiently and problem-free.

Annual Oil Burner Cleaning

Broco Energy® recommends contacting us to schedule your oil burner once a year. When you call us for burner services, here is what typically is done:

• Change the oil filter.
• Change & adjust the nozzle.
• Change the pump strainer and gasket.
• Thoroughly brush/vacuum the heat exchanger.
• Clean the entire burner assembly.
• Clean the smokestack in the chimney.
• Adjust the draft/clean the motor winding.
• Check the tank and pump flow.
• Run a full efficiency test.

Our burner service contract includes a burner cleaning and covers the repair or replacement of covered parts listed in the contract. Please reach out to us to learn more about this service coverage.

Benefits of Annual Heating Oil System Maintenance

Getting yearly oil burner service on your boiler or furnace is the most important thing you can do to ensure your equipment runs as efficiently as possible. Improved system efficiency can lower your annual heating expenses by about 5%. Here are other benefits:

• A longer life span for your furnace or boiler.
• Better for the planet: Equipment that runs at top efficiency will emit fewer emissions.
• Regular maintenance service allows the expert technicians from Broco Energy® to spot minor issues before they become big problems, such as worn parts or a burner that needs adjustment. If you neglect getting this service, you’ll probably find that problems tend to pop up during the worst times—such as when your furnace stops pumping out heat during a cold snap.
• Staying in compliance with your warranty: Manufacturers generally require you to get regular maintenance service. If you skip maintenance service and your equipment breaks down, you could end up paying the total cost of the repair.
