oil burner conks out

Oct 02, 2017 3 Replies

I had a tuneup 1 month ago on my whole house hot water baseboard oil burner. I have not noticed anything else, but the burner has stopped working twice, several days apart. Both times the system started immediately when I pressed the red button. Any ideas?


Yes, call back the outfit that did the tuneup. They may not have adjusted something properly. You may be low on oil and the pump is not working properly, or the filter that should have been changed was not and is clogged. Give them a call.

+1 Do it now before it gets cold!

When it was tuned up did they replace the ceramic insulators?

They can develop pinhole size breakdowns
