Schedule your annual heating system service and cleaning now to ensure peak performance and efficiency throughout the winter months.
Now is the time to schedule an annual heating system service and cleaning. Our Service Technicians schedules offer convenient times that fit into your summer schedule. Oil & Propane systems need a yearly inspection and cleaning to keep them running at peak performance, saving on fuel usage and extending the life of the entire system.
What’s Typically Done in an Annual Tune‑Up?
A Proulx qualified technician will generally perform:
-
Cleaning or replacing air filters
-
Removing soot/dirt from burners, heat exchangers, flame sensors, or ignitors
-
Testing combustion efficiency and CO emissions
-
Inspecting heat exchanger for cracks
-
Checking flue and vent connections
-
Verifying safety controls, pressure/temperature limits, and electrical connections
-
Adjusting system settings for optimal performance
It’s better to get your cleaning done in the summer rather than waiting until the weather gets cold:
- The Service Department has more available time to fit your schedule.
- If a issue is found with your system, it is better to get it repaired now and not when the house is cold.
- Parts may need to be ordered for repairs.
Reliability & Longevity
Catching small issues during seasonal service—such as worn burners or failing safety controls—reduces the likelihood of major breakdowns during peak winter usage. Regular maintenance can extend the system’s life by 30% to 50%, giving you more service out of your investment.
If you are currently enrolled in a propane or oil heating service plan, please note that by participating in a heating service plan, your annual cleaning charge is covered by the cost of the plan.
