Things to Consider Before Buying a Waste Oil Furnace

So you’re considering investing in a Clean Energy Heating Systems waste oil furnace. You already know that implementing one of these furnaces will save your business money, reduce your impact on the environment and put you in control of your budget, but what else needs to be considered before you make your purchase?

The smartest thing you can do as a consumer is plan out how you will configure your furnace before you take the plunge. Read below to discover some of the necessary considerations you need to take before you begin saving money with a new waste oil furnace.

What part of your facility do you want to heat?

It may seem like an obvious question to ask, but it is a necessary one. Depending on where you want your heat delivered, you may need to run ductwork to the desired location. If, for instance, your furnace is located in a small storage area of your business and you are looking to heat the main area of your shop, ductwork will most likely be required to properly heat the area. If, however, your furnace is located in a smaller garage area, you may be able to benefit from ejecting heat directly from the furnace into the room you wish to heat.

Where will your chimney be located?

Chimney location is definitely an important factor to consider before you purchase a waste oil furnace because it varies so much from location to location. Each specific facility will have different variables that determine where the chimney must be placed. It’s important to consult local building codes to see not only where the chimney must be placed but also what type of chimney you have to use. Your chimney may have to be installed on an exterior wall or in some cases may need to be mounted through the roof.

Where will you store your oil?

Another very important variable to consider is where you will be putting your oil tank. This part can be a little complicated because there are so many possibilities of where it can go. You’ll have to decide whether you want your tank to be outside the building, inside the building, or you could even use one of our Waste Oil Heating Centers.
