Troubleshooting Common Issues with Oil Furnaces

Furnace Fails to Start: First, ensure your thermostat is set correctly - it should be on "auto" and "heat." An incorrect setting is often the simplest reason behind a non-starting furnace.

Reset Button Frequently Tripping: This is a crucial safety feature that shuts off your furnace if it detects a problem. Before pressing the reset button, confirm that your oil tank has fuel, the valves are open, and the chimney is unobstructed. It's important to press the reset button only once; repeatedly pressing it can lead to fuel oil buildup, posing a fire risk once the furnace ignites.

Insufficient Heating: This could be due to clogged oil or air filters. Check these filters and clean or replace them as needed to improve heating efficiency.

Unusual Noise: A rattling sound often means loose access panels that need tightening. If you hear squealing, this could indicate a problem with the belt or blower motor. For units with oiling ports, apply a few drops of electric motor oil, but make sure the furnace is completely turned off before doing so.

When to Call a Professional

It may be time to call Lund Mechanical to take care of your oil furnace if:

• The furnace doesn't start after pressing the reset button, even with fuel in the tank and open valves.
• You notice knocking sounds, which might indicate air in the fuel lines.
• There are visible oil line leaks.
• Streaks are observed in the burner chamber.
• The burner activates but fails to ignite.
• Basic troubleshooting doesn't resolve the issue.
