Oil Burning Furnaces and Boilers
Forced Air oil furnaces or boilers burn oil that is stored in a tank as a source of energy. Newer oil furnaces and boilers have a higher efficiency rating because they use a secondary heat exchanger and an auxiliary fan!
Two stage burners and blowers run quieter and are more energy efficient, prolonging the life of your furnace.
They exchange the heat in much the same way as systems run by other sources of fuel.
Measuring Energy Efficiency
The appropriate size of a oil burner is dependant upon the size of your house and the correct number of BTUs (British Thermal Units) it takes to maintain adequate warmth. Furnaces that are too small, just don't get the job done and furnace that are too large cost more and are less efficient because of the constant on and off cycling when heating your home.
