[QUOTE="Mr. Mach-ete, post: 13582339, member: 16424"] Oil burners/boilers are effective but inefficient, 85% is average, if you keep the burner and boiler cleaned and serviced. Make sure you have a licensed HVACR contractor perform a preseason maintenance cleaning. Replace the fuel filter, the nozzle, check the electrode gaps, open the boiler and vacuum out the fire box and brush clean the soot around the water jacket, have them perform a combustion analysis to determine the efficiency of the boiler. Converting to Natural gas is the best, if it's available to you. There are many manufactures that make high efficiency boilers/instant water heaters that are compact, wall hung and pushing 97% efficient. I just installed a Navien, natural gas fired, wall hung, low mass boiler combo instant hot water heater in a customers house. The technology is awesome, it will eventually eradicate oil fired equipment in the long run. The unit I installed is 240,000 BTUs, one of them will heat 3,000 sqft home easily, not to mention you'll never run out of hot water for bathing. [/QUOTE]
