Once. After that, it could put it in lock-out mode, and we want to prevent that, so only once.

A lot of people forget this until a problem occurs, but the answer is at least once a year. Sometimes homeowners who use their systems all year round, get 2 yearly maintenance visits.

There’s no one answer to that question. Years ago’s systems are completely different from today. Cast iron boilers made in the 1950s last 30-50 years. Today, heat systems are built to last approximately 15-20 years.

Everyone is different in their wants and needs. Sometimes medical issues are a factor as well, but the average temperature is about 68 degrees.

No. There’s no need to panic either, no need to call the fire department (unless you feel it’s necessary) but you should call us right away. We are available 24/7!

No, they are not mandatory. In fact, that’s one of the things I love about Handy Oil Burner Service. We offer service contracts to benefit our customers. We are humans too! We are trying to save them money and time. For example, a yearly tune-up costs on average $193.00. An emergency service call on a weekday night is $225. That is roughly $425. For $699, we include the tune-up, emergency service call fee, and 18 parts FREE. Also, all additional parts are 20% off. So no, not mandatory, but definitely a good idea and something to look at. Along with our other agreements.
