Common Oil Boiler Problems We Fix in Westport
To start, here are frequent issues we resolve:
- Often, no heat or intermittent heat after a storm or power blip.
- Additionally, boiler short-cycling (turning on/off frequently).
- Moreover, sooty burner, smoky exhaust, or noticeable fuel smells.
- Likewise, ignition/primary control failures and nozzle or electrode issues.
- In many cases, circulator or zone valve failures (one or more zones cold).
- Sometimes, low pressure/relief valve discharge and expansion tank problems.
- Similarly, air in hydronic lines (gurgling or radiators not heating).
- Finally, fuel delivery and filter issues (clogged filters, sludge).
In addition, we service all major oil boiler brands and hydronic components—cast-iron and steel units, indirect water heaters, circulators, controls, and thermostats.
Our Repair Process (Built for Speed & Accuracy)
First, Arrival & Safety Check: we verify combustion air, venting, oil lines, and carbon-monoxide safety.
Next, Smart Diagnostics: we perform combustion analysis, ohm/amp checks, vacuum/pressure tests on the fuel line, and control readings.
Then, Targeted Repair: we clean/replace the nozzle, set electrodes, change filters, tune the burner, fix circulators/valves, and resolve control faults.
After that, Combustion Tune-Up: we run draft tests, check smoke number, and optimize efficiency for cleaner, lower-cost operation.
Finally, Proof & Prevention: you get before/after test results plus practical steps to prevent repeat breakdowns.

Repair vs. Replace: What Makes Sense?
If your boiler is 15–25+ years old, needs frequent service, or shows heat-exchanger/corrosion issues, we’ll price the repair and present transparent replacement options (high-efficiency oil boilers or an oil-to-heat-pump path). That way, you can decide with full information. However, if a targeted repair restores safe, efficient performance, we’ll recommend that. Either way, we review lifetime cost, fuel usage, and comfort—no pressure.
Seasonal Tips for Westport Homes
Meanwhile, a few simple steps can prevent mid-season surprises:
- Change oil filters annually and schedule a pre-winter tune-up.
- Also, bleed radiators/baseboards at the start of the season to clear air.
- In addition, keep combustion-air pathways open—avoid storing items tight around the boiler.
- Finally, ask about our Preventive Maintenance Plan for priority scheduling and seasonal performance checks.
