Call (631) 779-2716Annual oil burner tune-up & vac
The best way to avoid emergency burner problems is a yearly tune-up before the cold sets in. Our annual tune-up includes:
- Replace nozzle
- Filter change
- Strainer brush, vacuum, and clean
- Check normal running operations for the new season
- Inspect unit and wiring
- Adjust settings for optimum efficiency
Regular tune-ups identify and prevent potential problems in those cold winter months and get you the best efficiency possible. Call (631) 779-2716 to schedule.
Common oil burner noises and what they mean
The most common warning sign of a burner problem is unfamiliar noise. Rattling, knocking, whistling, squealing, and grinding sounds each point at different issues.
Knocking noise usually means air has gotten into the lines. The fix is “bleeding” the lines. Don’t try this yourself unless you know how. Call us.
Whistling sound often means the filter is blocked or dirty. Filters should be replaced about every three months, not just cleaned.
High-pitched squealing or screeching usually points at the blower motor or belt. A loose belt can be retensioned. A worn or frayed belt needs replacement. Either is safe to leave to a technician.
Grinding noise is a serious sign. Shut the burner down for safety and call a pro. It usually means a motor bearing problem.
Sporadic on/off cycling with odd sounds is usually an air filter or oil supply issue. After checking those, if the problem continues, call a professional.
What our burner service customers say
★★★★★“The technician arrived on a Saturday morning, figured out the problem in 15 minutes, and had our burner running again before lunch. Fair price too. We’ve since signed up for the annual tune-up.”
Michael R., Long Island homeowner
★★★★★“Our burner started making a horrible squealing noise. Called Emergency Oil Delivery, the tech identified a worn belt, replaced it on the spot, and explained everything he was doing. Professional and friendly.”

Standard arrival is 2 to 4 hours from the time you call, depending on technician availability, weather, and where you are on Long Island. After-hours calls may take longer.
If you have a prime-start scheduled with your delivery, the driver will restart your burner. If it still won’t fire after that, you likely need full burner service. Call us and we’ll dispatch a technician.
Yes. Our technicians have experience on all major oil burner brands, including Beckett, Carlin, Riello, and more. Tell us the brand and model when you call so we can bring the right parts.
Once a year, before the heating season starts. An annual tune-up identifies and prevents problems and keeps your burner running at peak efficiency, which saves on fuel.
