Frequently Asked Questions
How does an oil furnace work?
Oil furnaces burn home heating oil to heat air through a heat exchanger. This air is then distributed through your home via air ducts.
The oil is stored on-site in a tank, typically in the basement, belowground, or just outside the home, and fuel is delivered as needed by truck.
How do I check the fuel volume left in my heating oil tank?
Aboveground tanks will typically have a fuel gauge to indicate fuel levels, while belowground tanks can be measured by inserting a stick or tape measure and converting the inches to gallons.
It’s best to avoid completely running out of fuel, so check your fuel levels at least a few times a month during winter.
What happens when an oil furnace runs out of oil?
You won’t damage your oil furnace if you run out of fuel, but it can make restarting the furnace more difficult. Running a tank dry can allow dirt and contaminants inside the tank to clog the fuel filter while also letting air into the fuel lines.
Often, the fuel filter will need to be replaced, and the fuel lines will need to be bled before the furnace will start back up. An HVAC professional can help restart your oil furnace again after you’ve run out of oil.
How often should an oil furnace be serviced?
An oil furnace should be serviced at least once a year. The best time to have your oil furnace serviced is before winter, when your furnace will be used most often.
However, if you live in a cold climate, or your oil furnace is used often, we recommend having it checked by a professional twice a year. A few vital maintenance checks include checking wiring assemblies, voltage/amperage draws, and fan blades.
Regular maintenance tune-ups will ensure that your oil furnace is operating at peak efficiency, which will help you save on your energy bills.
What is the average lifespan of an oil furnace?
The average lifespan of an oil furnace is around 20 years. Factors that impact the lifespan of an oil furnace include how often it’s used and how well-maintained it is. Scheduling regular maintenance checks can extend the lifespan of your oil furnace. A well-maintained system can have a lifespan of up to 25 years.
Does an oil furnace need to be cleaned?
Yes, it’s important to regularly clean an oil furnace. Areas of the furnace that need to be cleaned include the burner and chamber, the nozzle, and the CAD cell.
