When You Need Prime-Start Service
Prime-start service becomes necessary when your oil heating system loses its prime or fails to start properly. This commonly happens after running out of heating oil, during routine maintenance, or after extended periods without use:
Empty Oil Tank
When your heating oil tank runs completely empty, air enters the oil lines and the system loses prime. Simply refilling the tank won't restart it – professional priming is required.
System Won't Start
Oil burner repeatedly tries to start but fails to ignite, often with safety shutoffs. This indicates the system isn't receiving proper fuel flow and needs priming.
Filter Replacement
After changing oil filters or performing maintenance that breaks the fuel line connection, the system needs to be re-primed to remove air bubbles.
Seasonal Startup
Oil heating systems that have been inactive for extended periods may lose prime and require professional restart service before the heating season begins.
