Annual Tune-Ups for Heating Systems

With the high cost of energy these days, it's important to keep your heating system well tuned. Southside Fuel's service experts can adjust your boiler or furnace once a year for optimal performance. The National Oilheat Research Alliance says that a properly tuned system uses 5 percent less fuel than an out-of-tune one does.

Every Southside Fuel tune-up includes an inspection of the system, so we can spot problems before they turn serious and help you prevent system breakdowns that could necessitate expensive repairs.

Annual Preventive Maintenance Includes...

• Cleaning, inspection and adjustment of the ignition system, burner controls, motor and combustion chamber.
• Lubrication of the blower motor, fan bearing, circulator motor and the bearing assembly, when required.
• Cleaning the boiler and/or furnace, flue pipe and chimney base, when necessary, either to improve or maintain efficiency.
• Operational check of the burner and controls for proper and efficient performance.

High-Efficiency Heating

Southside Fuel sells and installs advanced heating systems from some of the world's top manufacturers, including high-efficiency boilers and furnaces that extract more usable heat from each gallon of oil.
