Before Calling Check The Following
Check your oil tank gauge to be sure you have heating oil,
occasionally an oil tank gauge will stick, leading one to believe
there is oil in the tank, tap the gauge lightly.
Make sure
your thermostat is set above the room temperature, if your
thermostat is programmable, check the settings also if your
thermostat has batteries and they have not been changed in the last
year, replace them.
Check that the "Emergency Switch", which
usually has a "Red Cover" and is located typically near or in the
stairway to the basement, is in the "ON" position. Check all
switches on the heating system make sure they are in the "ON"
position.

main electrical panel board.

proper level if needed. Water level should be 1/2 to 3/4 full. Do
not overfill the boiler with water.

Electrical Power Outage
The oil burner should start
automatically when the Power resumes, however, in some instances it
may be necessary to restart the oil burner manually. This is done by
locating the reset button, which is usually red in color and located
on the oil burner. On older heating systems you will find the red
reset button located on the control box that is attached to the
smoke pipe that goes to the chimney.

once and only once. The oil burner should start within two minutes,
Use Caution, check to see if flame is present. If the oil burner
operates for a few minutes and shuts off you will need a service
