When an HVAC professional performs an oil burner tune-up<\/a>, he or she will inspect your entire heating system for any damage or malfunctions.<\/p>\n

Young\u2019s Home Comfort technicians will examine the boiler (the heating part containing water), clean nozzle assemblies, and replace worn strainers and filters.<\/p>\n

A burner and boiler tune-up should also include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Motor lubrication & oil flow check<\/li>\n
  • Heating plant and chimney base vacuuming<\/li>\n
  • Controls inspection<\/li>\n
  • Switches inspection<\/li>\n
  • Thermostat accuracy<\/li>\n
  • Blower inspection to confirm sufficient airflow<\/li>\n
  • Blower motor and belt inspection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Proper care of your burner can help extend its life, saving you money in the long run and help keep your home\u2019s temperatures at your desired comfort level.<\/p>\n

    How Much Does an Oil Burner Tune-up Cost?<\/h2>\n

    Typically, a routine oil furnace tune-up will cost between $120-$200, but the condition of your burner will impact this.<\/strong> This simple maintenance cost is much cheaper than the $2000 – $7000 (plus installation costs) it could cost if you need a new oil burner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    We also offer HVAC maintenance plans to provide regular maintenance to your heating & cooling systems. There\u2019s a distinct difference between burners that have been regularly maintained and those that haven\u2019t. We regularly see a difference.\u00a0 Signing up for an automatic\/annual furnace tune-up<\/a> is the best way to keep your home\u2019s heating system working efficiently.<\/p>\n

    How Long Does It Take for a Tune-up?<\/h2>\n

    On average, a burner tune-up can take less than an hour. Again, the condition of your burner can impact the time it takes your HVAC technician to complete the tune-up. Depending on any repairs needed, it could end up taking considerably more time. There\u2019s no need to put your schedule on hold for the day, however.<\/p>\n

    Regular tune-ups can help decrease the chance that repairs will be needed and eliminate lengthy service calls.<\/p>\n

    How Often Should I Get an Oil Burner Tune-up?<\/h2>\n

    You should get an oil burner tune-up yearly. When you sign up for our automatic tune-up services, we\u2019ll send a postcard that reminds you that your system is due for inspection and maintenance. You can then schedule the tune-up at your convenience.<\/p>\n
