Heating Systems in Local Homes
Much of the housing stock dates from the 1960s and 1970s, with a reported median construction year around 1970. Detached single-family houses predominate. Ranch, Cape Cod, and split-level forms are common among the mid-century homes. For an oil burner company that means a mix of original cast-iron boilers that have been maintained for decades and newer furnaces and boilers installed as the old ones gave out. Our technicians carry parts for both.
Oil Burners and Gas Heating Systems
Heating oil is common and more prevalent than utility natural gas in the Ronkonkoma CDP. Census-derived local housing estimates report fuel oil as the primary heating fuel for about 63% of occupied homes and utility gas for about 26%. National Grid gas mains serve portions of the area, but availability varies by street; verify service for an individual address. The fuel does not change how we work. Oil burners get a nozzle, filter and strainer with every cleaning, gas boilers get their igniters and valves checked, and both get a combustion and safety test before the technician leaves.
