Question

Yesterday our house got very cold so we checked our oil heater and found that the light went out. We tried to reset the light but soon after we did that the light went out again. Can you tell me what might be happening?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like it needs a tune up,If it hasn't been serviced for more then 2 years. Probably not getting a good spark to ignite the oil comming out of nozzle. Make sure tank is filled to at least half and if it is call a service man
