Oil Furnace Problems And Reviews
Best oil furnace information
Question about a oil furnace/heat pump combo.?
My oil furnace heat pump combo has been acting a little weird lately. The guy that installed it is coming to look at it today so I want to be able to tell him what is going on. This guy is not much on giving me any kind of information as to how this thing works. I thought he told me that the heat pump would heat until 40 degrees outside and then the furnace would take over at temperatures lower than 40. Anyway, it is about 45 degrees right now and the oil furnace is still heating I thought the heat pump should be heating now. I have noticed in the past few days this seems to be happening. What would cause this? Also, where is this 'temperature sensor' that determines which one furnace or heat pump runs?

Why does my oil furnace get sludge build-up on the nozzle filter?
The bronze ? final filter on the back side of the nozzle gets slimmed over quite often. I have to pull the assembly out and remove the nozzle for cleaning when this happens . It happens prob. every 2 3 weeks. Is it a dirty oil tank outside?There is a in line canister filter in the house that is not dirty. I believe it has reusable media inside. Meaning I think it is washable.The tank does have a suspended pick up line.

Restarting an oil furnace?
So our house ran out of oil and we got it refilled but now we're trying to get the furnace going again. My housemate, like a moron, did not read anything and just pressed the " restart" button a billion times. Googling around it keeps saying to only press it ONE time. I want to try and bleed the lines properly and all that to get it restarted, but before I do that... what does pressing the reset button more than once do? Is it going to cause more problems? Is there anything I should watch out for because of that?

Can you help me figure out an oil furnace problem?
i have an older oil hot air furnace. it seemed fine when we bought the place. the vinyl up top was soft to the touch the part at the top where it meets the ducts . now its breaking when i push on it. theres a heat spot on the back like a circle is getting burned on the rear and inside the little eyehole, i noticed the pan looking thing where all the burning takes place, the pan itself is cracking and one spot that holds the pan up is disconnected. also above where the burning takes place it almost seems like its melting... any imput would be great....thanks.
Can a governor/limit be installed/set on a oil furnace?
I bought a duplex recently and am renting out the second unit. there is one furnace for the entire home and my tenants have their own thermostat. I don't mind then controlling their own heat but they are cranking it much higher then needed and leaving the windows open. I legally can't require them to close the windows or evict them as I have no grounds for it. So i'm wondering if there is a way to setup a governor on the furnace to limit how high they can turn the heat up which would force them to close the windows and keep the heat at a normal level and not put me in the poor house.jus to expand on this. the house is 95 years old and has hot water baseboard heat. it's a oil furnace in the basement. from the furnace there are two leads pipes whatever they are called leaving it with a electrical box about 2 feet away. one is labelled downstairs which i am in. the wires go to the only thermostat in my unit which is in the main hallway in the middle of my unit. the water pipes that continue from that line go throughout my floor. the second one is laballed upstairs and the wires go to the only thermostat which is also in their main hallway in the middle of the house. same thing with the water pipes as well. also there is no water tank. just one enclosed unit which heats the water as well. i do plan on asking them to just close the windows to keep the heating costs down but i want to find this out first as a backup if they simply don't do it.
