When to Repair or Replace Your Oil Furnace
Unless you pay close attention to the performance of your oil furnace, you might not notice minor problems. Here are a few things you should watch for, so you know when to contact our oil furnace repair company.
Low Performance
A functioning oil furnace should provide effective, consistent heating even in low temperatures. If you notice that some rooms are colder than others, or that you can’t seem to reach the right temperature regardless of the setting, you may need to schedule repairs. Our technicians can determine the cause, including a failing blower motor, dirty burner, or faulty fuel connection.
Rising Fuel Consumption
Generally, your fuel consumption should correspond to changes in outside temperatures or heating needs. If you notice a significant increase in your fuel usage, but the weather stays about the same, you may have a problem with the system that decreases its efficiency. Our technicians can provide furnace repair to identify and address the issue.
Odd Noises
Listen to the sounds of your furnace during operation. If you hear banging, rattling, grinding, or screeching noises, you might need to replace a fan belt, bearings, or other components. Even if your furnace seems to work normally otherwise, addressing the cause of the noise can help to prevent the problem from getting worse.
Frequent Repairs
If you’re dreading the next breakdown of your oil furnace, you may approach the point where it makes more sense to replace than to repair. Frequent repairs, or repairs that cost a significant percentage of the price of a new furnace, may not provide the best return on investment.
Age and Efficiency
Ultimately, the age and efficiency of your oil furnace helps you make the decision for your future expenditures. Oil furnaces can last 15 to 30 years with good upkeep. On the end of that lifespan, you may be missing out on new innovations in efficiency and home comfort.
FAQ
When should I schedule maintenance for my oil furnace?
Annual maintenance helps you to get the most out of your furnace each year. We recommend scheduling maintenance in the fall, to ensure that the equipment works properly.
Why does my oil furnace fail to ignite?
If your furnace does not ignite, you may have a problem with the fuel source, ignition system, or the thermostat. Our technicians can help you find the cause and provide an effective solution.
Why does my furnace smell odd?
Furnaces should not generate odd odors during operation. If you notice a stale or noxious odor while the furnace runs, you should turn it off and contact us to schedule an inspection.
Are oil furnaces energy-efficient heat sources?
Oil furnace efficiency depends on the model, age, and other factors like installation and upkeep. Our technicians can evaluate your home and make recommendations on improving your energy efficiency if you’re looking to reduce your energy consumption.
How much does oil furnace installation cost?
The cost to install a new oil furnace relates to several factors, such as the existing system and the model you choose. When you schedule an appointment with our oil furnace installation contractors, we can provide a written estimate.
How do I improve oil furnace efficiency?
If you want to improve the efficiency of your oil furnace, you should schedule annual maintenance. Changing your air filters, sealing leaks in your ductwork, and improving your insulation can also help to increase your efficiency.
Why does my oil furnace make noises while it runs?
Oil furnaces make some noise during operation, but the sound should stay fairly low. If you notice unusual or inconsistent sounds, you could have a broken component or failing motor. Our technicians can help you address the issue before it causes the system to break down.
