Community Spirit at the Corrandulla Show

by

We were proud to be a gold sponsor at the Corrandulla Show last weekend. Vistiors to our stand were invited to “Spin the Sweeney Wheel” in exchange for a small donation. All proceeds went directly to the Corrandulla-Annaghdown Active Aged Group.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who took part, a total of €475 was raised. This donation was presented to the group during their final outing before the summer, which took place at Lydon’s Bar & Restaurant.

We’d like to thank everyone who stopped by and supported the cause. The Corrandulla Show is a brilliant example of local spirit, and we’re always happy to get involved in events that give something back to the communities we serve.

Essential Home Heating Oil Maintenance Tips: Keeping Your System Efficient and Reliable

by

As the seasons change, it’s essential to take a proactive approach to maintain your home heating oil system. By following a few simple maintenance tips, you can ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity for your system. In this post, we’ll explore some crucial steps to keep your oil heating system running smoothly, providing you with warmth and comfort during the colder months.

Schedule an Annual Professional Inspection

Regular inspections by a licensed technician are vital for the overall health of your oil heating system. Before the winter season begins, or if you haven’t had an inspection recently, now is the perfect time to schedule one. A professional inspection will identify any potential issues, allowing you to address them promptly and avoid unexpected breakdowns during the winter.

Clean or Replace Filters

Clogged or dirty filters can hinder the efficiency of your oil heating system. Take the time to clean or replace the oil filter and air filter regularly. This simple maintenance task will ensure proper airflow and prevent potential blockages, resulting in improved system performance.

Inspect the Tank and Pipes

Regularly inspect your oil tank and associated pipes for signs of cracks, damage, corrosion, or leaks. Cracks can weaken the tank & cause leaks which pose environmental and safety risks. If you notice any issues, contact a professional to address them promptly and prevent further damage.

Test Safety Mechanisms

Safety should always be a top priority when it comes to your oil heating system. Regularly test the safety mechanisms, including flame sensors and pressure relief valves, to ensure they are functioning correctly. This step will provide you with peace of mind and protect against potential hazards.

Monitor Oil Levels

While the summer months may not require heating, it’s important to keep an eye on your oil levels. Ensure you have an adequate oil supply for when the colder weather returns. Regularly check the oil tank gauge and consider scheduling a refill if needed. Ask about our Magnus monitors today and you’ll never have to worry about running out of oil again.

Clear the Surrounding Area

Maintain a clear and unobstructed area around your oil tank. Trim any vegetation and remove objects that could hinder proper ventilation or obstruct maintenance access. A clutter-free environment minimises fire risks and facilitates efficient service.

 

By following these essential home heating oil maintenance tips, you can ensure that your system remains efficient, reliable, and safe throughout the year. Regular inspections, filter cleaning/replacement, lubrication, and monitoring of the tank and safety mechanisms are crucial for optimal performance. 

Taking proactive measures now will save you time, money, and potential discomfort in the future. Invest in the care of your home heating oil system, and it will continue to provide you with a warm home  during the colder months.

Remember, consult with a qualified heating professional for specific recommendations and expert assistance tailored to your system’s needs. Stay ahead of maintenance, and enjoy a worry-free heating experience all year round!
