Why Oil Heating Tune-Up & Preventive Maintenance is Important for Furnace and Boiler?

When operating a furnace or a boiler working on liquid fuel (oil) in a residential or a commercial property, the main factor for trouble-free operation is the preventative tune-ups and cleaning of the boiler (mechanical and chemical), maintenance and adjustment of the burner. Generally, homeowners don’t pay attention to this which may lead to the premature failure of the oil burner or even a whole system.

Keep in mind that:

• Small deposits on the inner walls of the combustion chamber may lead to a decrease in the oil boiler efficiency by 10-15%.
• Cleaning of oil boilers should be carried out at least twice a year, in some cases three times a year. Additionally, maintenance of the boiler must be performed both chemical and mechanical.
• Frequency of preventive maintenance depends on the quality of oil and its usage.

These are the most common problems causing improper combustion, contamination, and failure of the oil furnace or boiler:
