When January overnight temperatures drop to 23°F across Fairfield County, waxed outdoor fuel lines, fouled Delavan nozzles, and soot-covered cad cells cause sudden primary control lockouts. Our 203-area service trucks travel Route 15 (Merritt Pkwy) and I-84 fully stocked with Beckett and Carlin igniters, Suntec fuel pumps, and CO2 line-clearing equipment to restore heat on the first visit.
