To Call or Not to Call – When should I contact you with an oil heating emergency?

oil heating emergencyAs we venture deeper into the heart of winter, the reliability of your oil heating system becomes increasingly critical. During these chilly months, a fully functional furnace isn’t just about comfort—it’s about safety. Scotia Fuels takes pride in offering comprehensive, round-the-clock emergency services to ensure your home remains a warm sanctuary, no matter the time or weather.

But when does a situation qualify as an emergency worthy of an immediate call? The answer is straightforward: If your furnace is malfunctioning and you’re without heat, that’s a clear signal to reach out to us. Similarly, if your heating system is producing unusual noises, emitting strong odors, or you’re noticing oil leaks or issues with your water heater, these are instances where immediate attention is needed.

However, before you pick up the phone, there are a couple of preliminary checks you can perform. Verify if a fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped. If everything seems fine, try pressing the reset button on your furnace’s burner for 3 seconds—but only once, as repeated attempts could exacerbate the problem. Also, ensure there’s fuel in the tank. If these steps don’t revive your heating system, don’t hesitate to contact us at 902-453-2121. Our seasoned professionals are always ready to assist, ensuring swift and effective solutions.

For less urgent matters such as minor noises, the presence of air in your pipes, or routine maintenance requests like equipment upgrades, annual tune-ups, or scheduling a fuel delivery, we encourage reaching out during regular business hours.

Scotia Fuels is committed to your comfort and peace of mind. Our existing customers enjoy the benefit of service call labor costs included in our fuel pricing, with parts being the only additional expense if needed. And for those not yet with us, we’re eager to offer a complimentary inspection of your furnace and tank. Simply visit our website at https://www.scotiafuels.com/contact-us/ or call us at 902-453-2121 to arrange an appointment. Rest assured, we’re always here to answer your call and address your heating needs
