The myTechnician® Mobile Application is one of the best tools that a professional oil heat technician can have at a customer job site by identifying problems, reducing job time, and eliminating call backs. The app provides the technician with a wireless Bluetooth connection to a Beckett® burner fitted with the latest generation of advanced oil primary controls, the new GeniSys® 7565 120V Oil Burner Advanced Primary Control.
