What do I do if the Oil Burner fails to operate?

Check the following:

1) Be sure that the oil burner switch is ON.
2) The thermostat should be set above room temperature.
3) Make sure there is oil in the tank.
4) If the burner does not run at all, check for a blown or loose fuse.

How energy efficient is it to heat my home with oil?

Very Efficient! The average oil heat system consumes less fuel than gas, and oil burners produce the most efficient flame when compared to gas systems. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, oil heat systems are 16% more efficient than gas heat systems and 30% more efficient than electric heating systems.

Will oil heat keep my home warm enough?

Absolutely! The oil heat flame quickly burns at 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the reason oil consumers are much more comfortable in their homes versus those who complain that their electric heat pump does not provide the comfortable warmth of oil during those cold days of winter.
