Burner service in New Jersey

You do not need a service contract to have a reliable boiler. You need it maintained at the right time of year, and you need oil in the tank.

Read this before you sign a contract

Add up the fuel as well as the service

Full service companies sell the idea that without a contract you will pay a fortune to maintain and repair your boiler, and that you will be left with no heat when something goes wrong. That fear is the product.

Ariba has a network of local service providers that overlap, so your home has cover. Yes, a call may carry a fee. Now add your maintenance costs to your fuel costs and total the year.

Heating a home is a total cost. Saving on one line while paying extra on the other is not a saving, it is a rearrangement. Ariba is about what you actually spend by the end of the season, not a perceived discount on one part of it.

The comparison to run

Contract price, plus the per-gallon rate that comes with it, across a whole heating season.

Against: COD price per gallon, plus what you actually spend on maintenance and repairs.

Do it with your own gallons. Most people have never put the two numbers side by side.

How to run a boiler well for less

Your home can run at the efficiency and reliability the full price companies charge for, at a fraction of the cost. It comes down to timing and fuel level.

Service in summer

Do the annual filter and maintenance in the summer months, when a serviceman has time to do the job properly. Wait until you turn the heat on and every engineer in the state is buried in no-heat calls. This is the single most common mistake.

Do not run low

Running the tank low or empty is what causes most service problems. Sludge gets drawn into the line, the nozzle clogs, the pump loses its prime, and a delivery becomes a repair.

Watch it, or let us

Check the tank weekly, fit a wifi gauge so you can see it from anywhere, or go on automatic delivery and Ariba monitors it for you. Call the office about a gauge.

If you are already cold

Run the no-heat checklist first. Four of the six checks are free and take a minute, and any one of them can save you a service call.

Book a summer service

The cheapest month to look after a boiler is the one where nobody is using theirs.
