Burner Is Out... Burner is In...

So the other night the oil burner decided to not click on, our usual temperature is a steady 67 degrees in the house. Fine time for it to decide to go off.

It was more upsetting because we had the fireplace guy coming to install our M55 Pellet Stove, but sadly they had to cancel... that same very day no less. What a kick in the teeth.

So I head downstairs and hit the rest button, and wallah, the burner kicks back to life, roars like a lion, and then...

Like another kick in the teeth...

It turns off again.

I cannot for the life of me figure it out, the burner supposedly was serviced a week before we moved in- at least that is what we get for taking the previous owners word for it.

I do some investigative work and find the service card on the burner. Turns out the burner had not been serviced for an entire year! I assume this is a mistake! So I take it upon myself to call the last company that was in to service it. It seems the previous owner used this company for years, so yes, of course, they should know the last time they were in to service it.

I get a call back and low and behold it's true, he lied. The burner had not been serviced for a year. So now it is 11pm, and I am left with no other choice but to dig into my wallet and call in for emergency burner fixin! Yowza's.... $418 later, I end up with a working burner, and a service contract. Not exactly what I was planning on doing, but the guy was super friendly, and ended up staying and chatting with my fella for an hour after all was fixed.

I appreciated his good friendly nature, but hello! It's now 12:30 at night, and I am ready for bed.

Anyhow, the following day while at work I get the phone call I am waiting for...

My M55 is ready for installation. I will be including a review on the Enviro M55 in a later post.

So here it is folks, the beast. Capable of heating up the entire home, and guess what it sure as heck did! So the thing literally cost us a trip to Fiji- Twice... but hell, either a week in Fiji, or a lifetime of warm cozy winters. We are literally going to save a ton of money on oil! Just what we need - money in the bank! Yeah baby yea!

Don't mind my little photo bomber- that's just Bubbie, and he totally is in love with his new pellet stove!
