Oil Heat "Simple Fixes" before you invest in a service call...
Not always but sometimes there's a simple fix to what's ailing your system. Try these steps:
1 Make sure your thermostat is set above room temperature.
2 Make sure your oil burner switch is in the "ON" position.
3 Check all fuses and circuit breakers.
4 Check your tank to ensure it contains oil.
5 Press the reset button on your oil heat system, which is typically located on the burner or chimney pipe. PRESS THE BUTTON ONLY ONCE!

Troubleshooting Broken-Down Heaters
When your heat goes off, it could be because of a general, regional outage or it could mean that something is wrong with your heating system. Chances are, you'll know about a power outage but if you suspect the problem lies in your system, there are some trouble-shooting procedures to follow that might get your furnace up and running again.
Steam Heating System
Turn off the unit.
Check the water level in the boiler; add water slowly if low.
Call a service person if you need to add water to the boiler often. There might be a leak.
Forced (Warm) Air Heating System
Check the circuit breaker for the heating unit and reset if it's switched off.
Keep ventilation areas clear of furniture and any other items that might be blocking it.
Clean the grills and change the air filter once a month. Newer metal filters last a year and can be hosed down with warm water to clean.
Hot Water Systems
Check to see that all temperature and pressure gauges are set to normal.
Clear system of excess air.
Gas Furnace
Check to see if the pilot light is on. If not, do the following:
Open the panel and set the control knob to pilot.
Using a flashlight, find the pilot fixture and light it with a match.
Turn the control to on.
Set the thermostat on high to see if system is functional.
Repeat this procedure, as necessary, by first turning the control off and starting again.
Ice Inside Your Pipes
If your heat's out and theres no water pressure when you turn on faucet, you probably have ice clogging one of your pipes. When water freezes it expands about four percent may cause your pipes to crack. If there's a leak, water will flood your house and basement soon after your heat gets turned on.
Try this quick fix:
Turn on faucet nearest to the pipe with the suspected ice block.
Follow the pipe to where it meets an outside wall.
Find the part of the pipe that is exposed to cold air.
Use a hairdryer to melt the ice. Move it up and down and about a foot above where you suspect the ice is clogging the pipe.
Call a plumber to inspect the pipes.
