Towne Burner Service Oil & Propane - Alton's Certified HVAC Services

Common signs include a strange, chemical-like smell (similar to formaldehyde), visible soot around the furnace, rust on the vent pipe, or the burner flame appearing yellow instead of blue. A cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety hazard as it can leak carbon monoxide. If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to call us immediately for a professional inspection and repair to keep your Alton home safe.

Annual maintenance is the best defense against high heating bills. Our Alton technicians clean soot from the heat exchanger, check and adjust the fuel-to-air ratio for optimal combustion, replace dirty filters, and ensure all components are running efficiently. A well-tuned furnace uses less fuel to produce the same amount of heat. For many Alton homeowners, this simple yearly service pays for itself through reduced oil or propane consumption over the winter.

Yes, we absolutely do. We understand that a furnace breakdown in the middle of an Alton winter is an urgent situation. We offer emergency repair services to get your heat back on as quickly as possible. Our local team is familiar with the common makes and models in the area, allowing for faster diagnosis and repair. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.
