Oil Heating Services

Your oil heating system might need repair, you hear strange noises like banging or humming, or your oil use suddenly goes up. Other warning signs include the system turning on and off too often, black soot around the heater, smoke coming from the chimney, or strong oil smells inside. This can mean something is blocked, broken, or not working safely. Checking it early can help avoid bigger problems and keep your home warm and safe.

When your oil heating system runs out of fuel, the first step is to call your oil supplier and schedule a delivery as soon as possible. Some newer systems will reset themselves after refuelling, but many older systems need a manual reset or professional help. Avoid restarting it multiple times on your own, as this can cause damage. It’s a good idea to monitor your oil level regularly and set up automatic deliveries if possible to prevent this from happening again.

To prevent water from getting into your oil tank, make sure the tank is in good condition and properly sealed. Check that the filler cap, vent, and inspection cover are tightly closed and not damaged. Keep the tank covered or sheltered if it’s outside, and clear away leaves or snow that can cause moisture buildup. It’s also ideal to check the tank regularly for rust, cracks, or signs of water, like a frozen line in winter or sludge at the bottom. Regular maintenance goes a long way in keeping your oil clean and your system running smoothly.

Your oil boiler should be serviced at least once a year. Annual servicing helps ensure your system runs efficiently, safely, and reliably. During a service, a technician will clean the burner, check the fuel lines, inspect the flue, and ensure no leaks or safety issues. Regular servicing also helps extend the lifespan of your boiler and can prevent costly repairs down the line. If your system is older or you use it heavily, consider more frequent checks to keep it in top condition.
