Keeping you warm and comfortable.

We recommend your furnace be cleaned each year by a qualified professional.

A yearly tune up by a licensed technician should include:

• The nozzle and oil filter is changed
• The smoke pipe is removed and brushed out
• The chimney is inspected to make sure there are no blockages and that it is up to code.
• The heat exchanger is inspected to ensure there are no holes or cracks.
• Exposed fill and vent pipes visually checked for leaks

For Your Information

When delivering fuel to you for the first time, all fuel providers, will require a copy of your Comprehensive Inspection Certificate issued by a licensed technician.   This is a TSSA Mandated inspection on your entire heating system and must be done every 10 years. This keeps you protected and ensures that your equipment is working efficiently and safely at the time of the inspection.

If you recently purchased your new home, the TSSA certificate is transferable.  Please contact your seller to obtain a copy.

As of January 1, 2013 the installation code for oil-burning equipment has been updated to require all new furnace oil tanks to be installed are required to be double bottom or double walled tanks. Single walled tanks must be installed with drip tray and an audible alarm system.
