Terms of Use

Effective 2026-06-11.

Educational purpose — read this first

Content on OilBurnerHelp.com is for general educational purposes only and is not professional heating-service advice. Oil heating equipment involves fire, electrical, and carbon-monoxide hazards. Follow your manufacturer's documentation and local codes, and hire a licensed service technician for inspection, repair, and adjustment. Use of this site does not create a professional or client relationship.

If your system is locked out, smells of oil or smoke, or you suspect a leak or carbon monoxide, stop and call a licensed oil-heat technician. Never press the reset button more than once.

No warranties

All content, charts, databases, and tools are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied — including accuracy, completeness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Equipment varies by manufacturer, model, year, and installation; always defer to your equipment's own documentation and data plate.

Assumption of risk

Any action you take based on this site's content is at your sole risk. You are responsible for knowing and following your local mechanical, fire, and electrical codes, and for recognizing when a task requires a licensed professional.

No individualized advice or diagnosis

This site does not offer remote diagnosis of specific systems. Nothing on this site — including any future contact or inquiry feature — creates a technician-client relationship. Hands-on evaluation belongs to the licensed technician you hire.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, OilBurnerHelp and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for property damage or personal injury arising from use of, or reliance on, this site. Our total aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid to use the site (zero, for free use).

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless OilBurnerHelp and its operator from claims arising out of your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or work you perform or commission on your own equipment.

Advertising & affiliate disclosure

This site may display advertising and may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through outbound links (for example, parts, additives, or detectors). Sponsorships and affiliate relationships never alter chart data or safety guidance. This disclosure is made in accordance with FTC guidelines.

External links

Links to third-party sites, including manufacturer documentation, are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content.

Intellectual property

The text, structure, and compiled datasets of this site are the property of the site operator. You may quote or cite with attribution to OilBurnerHelp (oilburnerhelp.com); wholesale reproduction requires permission.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in New York.

We may update these terms at any time; the effective date above reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance.
