Now let’s explore how our equipment stands up to Firelake waste oil furnaces!
What Clean Energy Heating Systems and Firelake waste oil furnaces have in common:
- Capable of burning various used petroleum products (used motor oil, hydraulic fluid, ATF fluid, #2 heating oil)
- Swedged flue tubes (as opposed to welded, which have joints prone to cracking)

- No need to remove the flue stack before cleanout
- Models available in a variety of sizes
But there are differences between our waste oil heaters, too.
How Clean Energy Heating Systems and Firelake waste oil furnaces are different:
Clean Energy Heating Systems heaters have the following features Firelake’s do not:
- Stainless steel components, providing superior durability
- Air swept heat exchanger for maximum efficiency
- Pre-assembled, vacuum-tested pump
- Vertical flue tubes (allowing ash to easily fall out into a pan for easy cleaning)
