Basic Heating | Expanded Heating | Cooling Coverage | Additional Coverage

Over the years, home comfort needs have been met with increasingly efficient, complex and often interrelated systems. Traditional service policies have only provided you with the basic preventive maintenance and repair of limited portions of these systems. We are proud to offer a complete package of comprehensive and flexible service plans to assure the optimum performance of your home's system at a readily defined, economical cost.

YOUR OIL HEAT SYSTEM

No matter what fuel you use, the heat it creates is distributed throughout your home in one of three ways: hot water (baseboard), steam (radiators), or warm air (vents). Two are described here. While the system you have may look a bit different, it is operating on the same principles as those below.

HOW OIL SYSTEMS MAKE HEAT

Your thermostat (1) has a sensor which measures room temperature. When the temperature drops below your thermostat setting (or you raise the level above the room temperature), it sends a signal to the controls. (2) on your burner (3) to get into action.

A fuel pump (4) draws oil through a filter (5) to your burner. It turns this oil into a fine spray, mixes it with air, and ignites it in the combustion chamber (6), causing the chamber to get very hot.

What happens next depends on the type of system you have:

• If you have a Hot Water (Hydronic) System (upper right), water circulates around your boiler's (10) flue passages. A circulator (11) pumps the hot water through radiators or baseboards. An expansion tank (12) adjusts to varying pressures.
• If you have a Warm Air System, air absorbs heat in your furnace's heat exchanger (7). A blower (8) send the air through ducts (9) to heat your home.

Eventually, the water or air returns to the unit to begin the cycle again.

If you have a Hydro Air System, it combines the characteristics of hydronic and warm air systems. A hot water boiler heats the water, similar to a hydronic system. The water is circulated through a heat exchanger coil in an air handling unit. The air is moved across the coil by the blower, absorbing heat and distributing it to your home. The same air handling unit may have a cooling coil to provide air conditioning through the same system.

Steam systems work similarly, except that steam is generated and rises to the radiators (no circulators are needed). A low water cutoff prevents damage to the boiler by shutting it down in case water levels drop too low.

In all systems, the combustion emissions go up the flue (13), never mixing with either the air or water going through your house.
