In the publication Get The Most From
Your Heating Oil Dollar, the EPA recommends an annual
tune-up of your heating system for the following reasons.
An annual tune-up saves money. The
amount of savings will depend on several factors, but
could be as much as 13% of your total annual fuel bill.
Having annual maintenance performed during
the summer months, expensive, unexpected equipment failures
are less likely to occur during the heating season.
An annual tune-up reduces pollution. The
EPA also recommends that annual tune-ups should be performed
by qualified oil burner service technicians so that the
unit is properly adjusted using the correct instruments.
