If you don't have any heat or hot water please try these steps before calling us.
- CHECK YOUR THERMOSTAT: Set the thermostat 5 degress above the room temperature. If it is a clock thermostat, make sure it is timed correctly.
- CHECK ELECTRIC SWITCHES: Make certain that all switches affecting the oil burner are "ON"
- CHECK YOUR OIL TANK: Be sure there is oil in the tank and the oil line valve is open.
- PRESS RED SAFETY BUTTON: This is on the burner control box which is usually located on the burner itself. **CAUTION: If the burner runs for only a minute or two and shuts off again, DO NOT PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN!
- EXAMINE ELECTRIC FUSES: Check for blown fuses in the meter fuse box and main burner switch box. Replace with new 15 ampere fuses. Screw in tightly
- CHECK PRESSURE GUAGE (WITH HOT WATER HEATER CHECK THERMOMETER): If pressure or temperature is high, the limit control may have stopped the burner. If so, burner should re-start when pressure or temperature drops.
- CHECK BOILER WATER LEVEL: If your boiler is equipped with a low water cut-off, make sure that the water in th boiler gauge glass is at the "water line" (usually about half way up the glass). If the level is low , open the water feed valve until correct level is restored. Then close valve tightly.
If this doesn't work CALL US immediately (781) 275-1343 for prompt service!
