Signs your Oil Furnace Needs a Repair

To the untrained eye, the signs that your oil furnace needs a repair can often get overlooked. Although the lifespan of most oil furnaces is about 20 years, some telltale signs can indicate a need for repair or installation other than old age.

Stops Blowing Correctly

If there’s not a sufficient amount of hot air coming out of your furnace, an air filter could be blocked or a fan belt in the supply fan could need repairs.

Strange Odors

The most common causes of unusual odors are from clogged nozzles, chimneys or heat exchangers. In general, if you smell any fumes, it’s important to get your appliances checked by a professional.

Starts and Stops

If your furnace abruptly starts and stops, don’t keep resetting it. Low fuel or blocked air filters could be the root cause.

Strange Sounds

Rattling, knocking, squealing–keep an eye out for any abnormal noises. It could indicate that your furnace is experiencing issues with dirty oil burners, blocked air vents, or issues with the motor bearings.

As a final note, any issue that presents Lower Efficiency could indicate a need for repair.

Pros of New Oil Furnace Installation

While installing a whole new heating system can sound like a colossal task, it can often save you time and money over time.

Lower Energy Costs

Although upfront costs might give you pause about installing a new oil furnace, your annual operating costs would be power with higher efficiency ratings than with your old furnace.

Environmental Impact

With vast technological improvements, new oil furnaces will produce fewer emissions than other heating systems, with lower levels of sulfur and pollutants that contaminate our air.

Dependable Fuel Source

Because revamped oil furnaces require your own supply of heating oil, you’re able to control when and how you want your tank refilled to supply heat to your home.

Safer Home

While oil is flammable, it requires manual input to ignite. This gives you greater control over when you get heat. Unlike natural gas heating systems, an oil furnace doesn’t produce carbon monoxide, the “silent killer” in most homes.

Higher Efficiency

An oil-heat flame burns much hotter than natural gas, delivering heat to your home and water at a comparably faster rate than other energy sources.
