Oil-Fired Heating System Troubleshooting
As a Haffner’s customer, you will have peace of mind knowing that our service team will respond quickly, at any time of the day or night, in the event of an emergency situation.
Here are some tips and tricks to try before making a service call:
- Make sure that the oil burner emergency switch is in the ON position.
- Check the thermostat:
- If you have a programmable thermostat, check to see if the batteries need to be replaced.
- Make sure the thermostat is set to “Heat,” and that the temperature is set at least five degrees higher than the room temperature.
- Check your fuel level to be sure you have oil in your tank.
- If you have a steam system, make sure there is adequate water in the boiler. If the level is low, add water to reach the recommended level.
- Press the RESET button ONLY ONCE. If the burner does not start immediately, DO NOT press the button again
- If the boiler or furnace does not run at all, check for blown or loose fuses or a tripped circuit breaker.
If the burner still does not start, please call our Oil Service department at 866-It-Kicks for 24/7 service. A member of our service team will be dispatched promptly to fix the problem.
NOTE: if your equipment is over 16 years old, or keeps breaking down, it may be time to replace it. For more information on replacing your system, please contact the Oil Service department for a free estimate.
Annual Tune-Ups
Our yearly tune-ups include:
- Clean fuel pump and check pump pressure
- Flush oil line
- Oil motors
- Inspect filter, above ground lines and connections
- Replace filter, nozzle, electrodes
- Inspect, adjust and clean blower and check blower belt
- On steam systems, clean or replace site glass

Remember that a clean and well-maintained oil-fired heating system is more energy efficient and less likely to break down in the middle of a cold winter night.
