What type of maintenance is there with an oil heater?
Typically there is no constant maintenance with an oil heater, but there are a few things that should be done once a year. • First you should change the oil filter, it may be over 3 months, but I bet your heater hasn’t gone 3,000 miles yet! • Second, lubricate the bearings with SAE 30 oil. • Third you should have the oil burner nozzle replaced. • Fourth, be sure to clean out the heat exchanger and check it for wear. • Last, you should make sure all your connections are still tight. If you come across anything that you are not sure about, don’t try to fix it yourself. Call a professional combustioneer to come check out your heater and make sure it is still in good mechanical condition. Running a heater that is not in good working order can be extremely dangerous.
