Waste Oil Furnace Troubleshooting Guide

For Do-It-Yourself Waste Oil Furnace Diagnostics & Repair

Waste oil heaters are an efficient and eco-friendly way of obtaining free heat for your shop. 

However, like any piece of equipment, waste oil heaters do require regular maintenance and upkeep to ensure they are working at peak performance. When not properly maintained issues may arise resulting in costly downtime or expensive repairs. 

Although some waste oil heater repairs will require the assistance of a professional repair facility, many issues can be resolved DIY.  By completing a thorough inspection of your furnaces, as well as following the guide below, you can determine if the repair is a quick-fix, or if it’s something that may be more in-depth that requires the assistance of a service center.

We have organized the guide below to start with the most common problems and the easiest repair solutions.
