Appliance Burner Safety Controls:

Oil burning appliances are equipped with safety controls for your protection. The controls are designed to shut the burner off if they detect something wrong. The controls are equipped with a reset button that may be reset when the appliance burner has shut off. However, for your safety burner manufacturers recommend you only push the reset button one (1) time in an attempt to restart the burner. If the appliance does not operate once this has been done, please call Shawley’s or a qualified oil service technician to have service work performed.

Appliance Cleaning and Maintenance:

Shawley’s as well as appliance and oil tank manufacturers recommend having your oil burning appliances and oil storage tank maintained annually.

Annual cleaning and tune-up of the system also includes verifying of all safety controls are working as designed for your safety.

Please contact Shawley’s or a qualified oil service technician to arrange to have your system tuned up.

Regular maintenance on your oil system is a good investment. Repairs are sometimes necessary and can add up over the years. Sign up for a Service Protection Plan to protect your investment today.
