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.
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:
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.
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:
At Broco Energy®, we sell, install, service, and repair water heaters, heating oil tanks, and boilers. We also provide furnace repair and maintenance.
Plus, we provide around-the-clock oil burner services and tank repairs, as well as generator maintenance and generator repairs.
When a boiler needs repairs a few years in a row, it’s probably a good idea to research your upgrade options. If your boiler is more than 15 years old, you are missing out on highly efficient new oil heat technologies that can really save you a lot of money!
We repair furnaces throughout our service area. A furnace that’s running properly will not emit any odors. If you notice unusual odors coming from your furnace, it is likely overdue for a tune-up or needs repair. If you’re a Broco Energy® customer and you notice smoky odors, a dusty or burning smell, or electrical or mechanical smells, call us right away for service.
A good part of your household’s energy expenses every month goes toward heating water. With that in mind, it’s important that you have the right water heater for your needs, and that you regularly schedule water-heater maintenance.
You want your water heater to work as efficiently as possible. This will keep your water heating bills down and will extend the life of your system. We sell and install a range of water-heater types, so contact us to help you decide which one is best. Or, if you are not in need of an upgrade, contact us when you need a water heater repair.
If you live or have a business in Essex County, MA, or one of the many other communities in our service area in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, please reach out to us if you would like to become a Broco Energy® commercial or residential fuel customer.
