Oil Furnace Repair

Aire Serv begins the appointment by performing a diagnostic inspection to assess the furnace's components, diagnose the problem, and recommend appropriate repairs. Common repairs include:

• Replacing dirty or clogged filters that restrict airflow. This ensures the furnace is performing efficiently and will not overheat.
• Cleaning and adjusting burners to remove soot buildup that can hinder combustion. This optimizes fuel consumption and provides balanced heating.
• Fixing ignition issues such as pilot light failures to enable reliable furnace starts.
• Repairing or replacing worn-out or malfunctioning motors to improve the blower's operation and air circulation.

While repairs can often restore oil furnace functionality, there comes a point when replacing it becomes the most cost-effective option. Ignoring minor issues with your oil furnace can snowball into major problems, leading to higher repair costs or premature replacement. Common signs indicating the need for repair include:

• Clanking, banging, or whistling noises
• Rooms feeling excessively warm or cold.
• A sudden spike in fuel consumption without an increase in heating
• Furnace cycling too frequently

Addressing these issues promptly ensures your oil furnace's lifespan and safe operation throughout the heating season. Ready to get your oil furnace in tip-top shape? Contact Aire Serv and schedule an in-home estimate for oil furnace repair, maintenance, or replacement today!
