Help! My Heat Isn’t Working!

If you lose your heat, don’t worry – our expert technicians are there for you 24/7. But sometimes there’s a simple reason you lose heat that you can fix yourself.

Before you contact us for service, take a few minutes to troubleshoot your system – it could potentially save yourself the cost of an unnecessary house call.

If your heating system is not working, try these four things before calling for service:

Make sure you have enough heating oil (your tank should be at least 1/8 full)
Make sure emergency switches are in their “on” or “start” positions
Check the fuses or circuit breakers that control your heating system; replace or reset as needed

Make sure your thermostat is set at least five degrees above the current room temperature and that your system is in the “heat” setting; if your thermostat if has a digital screen and it’s blank, you probably need new batteries

As a last resort, press the reset button on the burner only once; if it does not reset, contact us for service

If you take these steps and your heat still doesn’t work, contact us right away and we’ll send a technician to get your system up and running as quickly as possible.
