Maintaining a clean device in the home which keeps you warm is crucial for ensuring its efficient and safe operation. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to clean an oil furnace, which we recommend having done by a certified heating specialist. Start by turning off the power to the furnace. This can be done by switching off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse. Locate the oil filter and remove it. Replace it with a new one if it’s clogged with dirt or debris. Clean the burners. Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. Check the igniter for any cracks or damage and replace if necessary. Check the blower wheel and motor for any build-up of dirt and debris. Clean them thoroughly with a brush or cloth. Locate the nozzle and clean it with a nozzle cleaning tool. Check the spray pattern to ensure it’s not clogged. Reassemble the furnace and turn the power back on. Perform a combustion analysis to ensure the furnace is functioning properly. Finally, replace the air filter to ensure proper air flow and increase the efficiency of the furnace. Regular cleaning of your oil furnace is important for its longevity and performance. If you’re unsure about any aspect of the cleaning process, consider seeking assistance from a professional HVAC technician.
