Changing furnace filter

I don't blame the homeowner for being upset... he should be!

That's great you do/did that but...

I've had 3 oil burners over 40 years and 5-ish oil companies and have never seen an analyzer printout. In fact, I don't believe any of them had the equipment to printout anything on site.

I'm not saying it's not a good thing to get, but I think you might have been a rare bird.

That's the difference between professional and non professional parts changers. I'm not aware of any large company that don't have them. What you've seen are the lazy technicians that don't care.

Dead River and Fred Fuller were two of them. Another was the company that Fred Fuller bought out which I can't remember their name. They all did perfectly fine and systems never failed. Couple old quacks now and then.

Rhymes just bought Fred Fuller.

Did I misunderstand? I thought Fred Fuller took a lot of advance payments, then didn't deliver and then went out of business. Rymes (no 'h') took over to make good to people who were caught in the middle.

Not really related to this thread, is it, since Fuller has been out of business for many years?

When we moved in with my mom in 1996, she used Fred Fuller for oil (kerosene) and service. Technicians were great. After mom's passing in 2000, we continued with Fuller for years until they started having legal issues. We then changed over to Eastern. We already had Eastern for propane, and with the Our Town discount, things were great.

We have used Eastern technicians since the changeover and have been satisfied with their service.

I've had furnace cleanings from AD&G, Dead River, Kidder, and a small local company. I never saw or heard of these printouts.

In all our years with Fuller, every year we got a new large tag that had all the "pertinent info" handwritten on it. In the past year or two, Eastern has left a printout.
