Why enter a contract when you can just get your burner serviced on demand? Because of the immense benefits, of course. This article will explain why getting a burner service contract with Controlled Combustion doesn’t cost—it pays.
Times are hard. With the rising costs of—well, just about everything, building owners and managers are looking for ways to save. Saving where possible on operation costs is great, but not when it sacrifices the safety and comfort of tenants, employees, or customers. You might think that skipping a burner service contract is the key to controlling your budget but going that route will likely increase repair costs a lot more in the end.
There’s no getting around it; your burner will need to be serviced at some point. And unless you have a staff of experienced heating system technicians, you will have to hire a contractor. Here at Controlled Combustion, we offer comprehensive Burner Service Contracts that give you peace of mind throughout the year. That’s why nearly half of the almost 2,000 buildings we serviced this year were under a Service Contract. As you read about what our Service Contracts entail, take note of the savings you could experience.
Annual Burner Overhaul
Your boiler’s burner has the important job of igniting the fuel, regulating the amount of fuel being burned, and ensuring the flame is the right size; also known as combustion. As combustion occurs, it produces unwanted bi-products that stay behind and dirty the burner. A burner overhaul, which is a thorough cleaning of your burner and all its parts, ensures your burner will reliably do its job.
Burner manufacturers recommend periodically checking and cleaning your burner. Failing to do so will increase the risk of unexpected downtime during heating season, all sorts of operating issues, and a decrease in your equipment’s expected life. A dirty burner also leads to fuel inefficiency and poor emissions.
Clients who opt for our Burner Service Contract receive an annual burner overhaul included in their package. We’ll ensure your overhaul is scheduled at a time that’s right for you each year you renew your contract. Decrease the chances of boiler downtime, operating issues, and losing money on fuel costs—all while gaining the peace of mind that your burner is running at its best.

Priority Scheduling and Response Time
Boiler downtime, even when scheduled, can be very expensive. And your tenants do not want to wait long for their heat and hot water to be restored in the middle of winter. When dealing with a heating system, time is literally money.
“Controlled Combustion has saved my life on numerous occasions. I’ve dealt with many heating companies in the past, but CC has the expertise, manpower and customer service to make me never even think about using anyone else. In the past, I would dread the wintertime. As soon as the first cold day comes, so do the phone calls with problems and complaints. CC has literally made my life easier. For that reason alone, I would recommend them to anyone.”
