First Energy Provides and Maintains Oil Furnaces in Massachusetts
In addition to providing heating oil and servicing oil burners when they break down, First Energy also provides routine and preventative maintenance for your home heating oil burners. You can schedule a tune-up for as often as you'd like; First Energy recommends a tune-up of your entire system at least once a year, preferably during the fall so that you'll be ready once winter hits. First Energy performs a 29-point check, in which their technicians clean your entire heating oil system and check all parts of the system for wear and tear. This protects your safety as well as ensures that your heating oil system works properly and will keep you warm during the entire winter.
Cleaning your chimney is an important part of your furnace maintenance plan. First Energy suggests cleaning out the chimney altogether at least once every two to three years. Their oil burners produce a limited amount of soot, which goes up into the chimney when you heat your home. If soot builds up in the chimney, it can interfere with the air flow from your furnace to the outside world. In addition, birds may build their nests in the chimney, further restricting air flow as well as putting themselves in danger. First Energy checks your chimney as part of its preventative maintenance program. If you have your chimney cleaned by somebody else, First Energy recommends scheduling a tune-up of your furnace afterwards to make sure the chimney cleaning didn't throw anything off balance.
Finding a reliable and affordable source for heating oil delivery can be difficult. With winter approaching and an unstable economy, many families are faced with difficult decisions regarding their utilities and other expenses. Oil delivery can be unexpectedly costly, especially when dealing with a company that is more committed to profits than to low prices and customer service. First Energy Heating and Cooling does not believe that families should be at the mercy of their delivery company, and that is why they are so dedicated to competitive pricing and excellent service in every way.
