Oil Furnace Problems We Diagnose and Repair in Berks County, PA

  • Furnace not turning on or stopped working: A tripped breaker, a thermostat problem or a failed control board (the furnace’s “brain”) may be stopping it from starting. We find the cause and fix it.
  • Oil burner not lighting or locked out: The burner’s primary control shuts it down when it can’t confirm a flame, and the red reset button pops up. Common causes are running out of oil, a clogged nozzle or oil filter, a dirty cad cell or worn electrodes. Press reset only once.
  • Burner humming but not firing: A failing burner motor or fuel pump can hum without delivering oil. We test the pump, oil pressure and motor before replacing anything.
  • Furnace keeps shutting off or short cycling: A clogged filter or dirty sensor can make the furnace overheat or shut down, then restart again and again. This wears out parts, so don’t ignore it.
  • Furnace blowing cold air or fan runs but no heat: The fan is working but the flame isn’t lighting, or a safety switch (limit switch) is shutting the heat off. Also check that your thermostat fan is set to “auto.”
  • Loud, rattling or banging noises: Loose panels, a worn blower motor or an unbalanced blower wheel are common causes. If it bangs or squeals, turn the furnace off and call us.
  • Furnace tripping the breaker: A failing motor or control board can overload the circuit. Don’t keep resetting the breaker.
  • Puffback or soot buildup: Delayed ignition can blow soot through the furnace and into the house. We find the cause, clean the heat exchanger and flue, and get the burner firing cleanly.

We repair and replace oil burner parts, including nozzles, oil filters, fuel pumps, burner motors, electrodes, igniters and transformers, cad cells, primary controls, limit switches, blower motors and control boards, and offer furnace filter replacement.

Smelled oil or smoke, or heard a puffback? Turn the furnace off at its emergency switch and call us at 484-332-3573. Don’t keep pressing the reset button. If your carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone outside and call 911 first.

Everyone was courteous and professional in their work. They did a great deal of work on my problem and now everything is working perfectly. I would recommend to anyone who needs repair in their home to use this service. Their excellent work that was provided was done in a timely manner. Not only that they went above and beyond to help me in my dilemma. The customers that were scheduled helped me out by allowing Reading Plumbing Specialist to push back their project one day. I thank those people as well for all their help in this emergency. I am one happy camper.

Fast efficient service. From when we started shopping around, to the finish of the job. Travis and Jose we're very respectful, on time and knowledgeable. The office staff was very quick to answer questions and to get back to us with an Install date. The price was competitive as well. Thanks again for the great job. Well done!

Came out and told me the whole heat system needed replacement at 11k. Got a second opinion, and it was one wire that needed replaced. The other company fixed both AC and heat in less than an hour. Idk how they have the reviews they have with this sort of dishonesty. Down right robbing people!

Once a year, ideally before the heating season. A yearly cleaning and tune-up helps catch worn parts early.
