Dorr Oil and Propane service plans help you avoid big bills like these. First, because many parts and labor costs for repairs are part of our service plans. Second, every one of our service plans also include annual tune-ups by our knowledgeable, experienced and skilled service technicians. Tune-ups give them the opportunity to spot problems and fix them before they become bigger and potentially more expensive to fix.
Our regular maintenance also helps your equipment run at peak efficiency, saving you money on energy bills. It may also help keep your equipment’s warranty in effect.
What’s included in a typical heating system tune-up?
Here’s some of the work that’s performed in a Dorr Oil and Propane tune-up:
- Vacuuming and cleaning all heating surfaces within the furnace or boiler.
- Examining the smoke pipe for rigidity, air-tightness and signs of deterioration. If a new pipe is needed, we replace it. If it is partially plugged, we clear it using a vacuum cleaner and make certain that the stack control is rigidly mounted.
- Examining the chimney for plugging. If the chimney needs cleaning, we bring this to your attention.
- Installing a new fuel oil filter and gasket.
- Installing a new fuel oil pump strainer and gasket.
- Inspecting the entire heating system and sealing any leaks found.
- Removing the drawer of the gun-tube assembly from the oil burner and wiping it clean. At the same time, we clean the burner’s blower wheel and air inlet ports.
- Replacing the burner’s atomizing nozzle.
