Oil burner service & tune-ups

Yearly cleanings and tune-ups, repairs, and no-heat calls for oil burners and boilers in Amityville and nearby Long Island towns.

What a tune-up is for

An oil burner that has not been cleaned can burn dirty, smoke, waste oil and quit on the coldest night. A yearly cleaning and tune-up is the simplest way to keep it running. Book before the heating season if you can.

Call for service if you notice

  • Soot, smoke or an oil smell near the burner.
  • The burner starts and stops, rumbles, or needs to be reset.
  • Not enough heat or hot water.
  • It has been more than a year since the last tune-up.

Service contracts

Our service contract covers the yearly tune-up and cleaning plus covered repairs, and contract customers get priority on no-heat calls. You don't need a contract to get oil from us.

Time for a new burner?

If your burner is old or keeps failing, ask for a free estimate on a new oil burner, or see boiler and furnace replacement.
