Waste Oil Furnaces Require Minimal Maintenance
In addition to cost savings and environmental friendliness, waste oil furnaces have another big thing going for them. Most are very low maintenance. This makes a waste oil heater an even more attractive buy for organizations that are interested in converting hazardous waste oil into free heat for their facilities.
However- even though maintenance requirements for waste oil furnaces are minimal, you can’t ignore them! Starting a scheduled maintenance routine for your furnace will keep it running smoothly for many years to come. Here are a few standard maintenance tasks that are easy to do and will keep your furnace running at peak performance.
- Clean the Oil Canister Filter- do this approximately once per year
- Clean the Pump Head- do this approximately once per year
- Clean Ash from the Heater Exchange- do this once every 1,200 hours
- Clean the Nozzle Adapter Heater Block- do this every 2,000-3,000 hours
