When Should You Schedule Maintenance for Your Oil Furnace?
The best time to schedule oil furnace maintenance is during late summer or early fall, well before you need to rely on your heating system for daily comfort. This timing allows our technicians to identify and address any issues that may have developed during the off-season.
You should also consider scheduling maintenance if you notice warning signs, such as:
- Unusual fuel or burning odors
- Yellow or smoky flames instead of clean blue flames
- Frequent cycling
- Increased fuel consumption
- Uneven heating
- Unusual noises during operation.
In addition to the above, you may want to consider maintenance if it’s been more than a year since your last professional service or you’ve noticed higher heating bills without any reasonable explanation.
What’s Included in Our Professional Oil Maintenance Services?
Oil furnaces require maintenance that differs significantly from gas or electric systems. Fortunately, you can get exactly what your unit needs from our skilled and experienced team at Carew Heating & AC. We provide one-time and ongoing maintenance services that can keep oil heating equipment in top shape.
Depending on your system and its condition, some of the things we may do when you turn to us for maintenance include:
- Clean and inspect the oil burner assembly for proper operation
- Replace the oil filter to ensure clean fuel delivery

The Benefits of Maintaining Your Heating System
Regular maintenance is particularly crucial for oil furnaces because of their unique operating characteristics. Oil systems are more prone to component wear and contamination issues than other fuel types, making professional care essential.
Key benefits of oil furnace maintenance include:
- Keeping burner components free of soot and debris that can reduce efficiency
- Preventing dangerous carbon monoxide production and fire hazards
- Staving off premature wear of expensive components like heat exchangers
- Maintaining optimal efficiency, potentially saving hundreds annually on heating bills
- Lessening the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns
