Repair For a Gas Furnace vs Oil Furnace
A gas furnace is a lot less complicated to repair and maintain than an oil one.
Repairing an oil furnace might involve:
- Hanging the filter
- Lubricating the burner motor
- Changing the nozzle
- Changing a broken wire
- Checking the draft re-ignition for soot buildup
- Cleaning the exhaust pipe
- Adjusting the heat anticipator
- Measuring the current and resetting it
- Replacing the boiler
Repair and maintenance of a gas furnace is usually much simpler. Other benefits of a gas furnace include:
- It is abundant and much cheaper than oil.
- Gas is more reliable and not subject to the wild price swings of oil.
- You will have no storage tank with a gas furnace.
- Oil can contaminate soil; you need no environmental cleanup with gas.
- Gas is clean burning, so you will not have the soot build up that you have now.
