DID YOU KNOW?
  • Fuel in Halifax has slightly different properties than fuel that is sold in Toronto? While the properties of the product may differ, Esso takes steps to ensure that our product meets our high standards for product quality that will keep you equipment working safely and reliably.
  • A common misconception for many people is that furnace oil is black - it's actually light pink. It's also non-explosive - many people would be surprised to find that a match isn't hot enough to ignite furnace oil.

For more information, call 1-866-749-ESSO (3776), or contact your Esso representative.
No heat checklist
  • Should your furnace stop working, check the following before calling for service:
  • First, raise the thermostat to 30ºC or raise the thermostat 5ºC above the current room temperature.
  • Make sure the master burner switch is in the ON position.
  • Check the fuse boxes for blown fuses or circuit panel for tripped circuits. Use only replacement fuses of the correct amperage.
  • Check the oil tank gauge.
  • Make sure the tank valve is open.
  • Press the RELAY RESET button on the relay box (usually mounted on furnace wall, burner or smoke pipe). PRESS ONCE ONLY. DO NOT PRESS A SECOND TIME.
  • After resetting the relay, if you hear a "buzz" or "hum" from the burner, press the OVERLOAD button on the oil burner motor to start again.
  • If you're out of fuel oil, please call Esso at 1-866-749-ESSO (3776) If there's still a technical problem with your furnace, please call Sears HomeCentral at 1-800-4-MY-HOME (1-800-469-4663).
