Besides a total replacement, are there lower-cost ways to improve an oil heat systems efficiency?
A professional tune-up can increase efficiency by to 5%. Homeowners can also improve efficiency-by as much as 25% – if they replace an old burner with a modern, flame-retention burner rather than replacing the entire furnace or boiler. Purchasing a new burner is a modest investment with a rapid payback. It is estimated that flame-retention burners have saved homeowners billions of dollars in fuel costs and have conserved more than six billion gallons of oil.
