What do you do when your oil furnace stops working?
If it is popped, the problem with your furnace not running could be fuel related. Press the reset button ONCE and check your oil tank and in-line filter. If the button doesn’t quickly pop back up or won’t reset, give us a call to schedule a service visit. There may be error codes or faults showing on the furnace.
Can an oil furnace explode?
Unlike natural gas, heating oil doesn’t explode; in fact, heating oil doesn’t even burn until you heat it to 140 degrees and vaporize the fuel, which is exactly the process that happens inside your furnace.
Why will my oil furnace not ignite?
Possible causes: The furnace could need resetting. Other possible causes include a faulty connection in the thermostat, a pilot flame in need of cleaning, a switch that’s been turned off or problems with a gas valve.

Why is my oil furnace blowing cold air?
Your furnace may be blowing cold air because the filter is too dirty. A dirty air filter blocks airflow over the furnace’s heat exchanger, causing it to overheat. When overheating, your furnace can trip a high limit switch, causing the furnace burners to shut off so that the heat exchanger does not crack.
Why is my furnace blowing lukewarm air?
When airflow through your vents are blocked, the burner of your furnace will shut off, while the blowers continue to run as normal. Over a short period, the fan will turn the air cold or lukewarm at best. Air filters keep the air in your home clean and easy to breathe.
What temperature should the air be coming out of the vent heat?
The air coming out should be 14 to 20 degrees cooler than the air flowing in. Move the thermometer to a vent in each room or area of your home. If any of the vents are much colder or warmer than another, there may be a problem with the ductwork, or the distance may be too great from the blower.
How hot is the air from a furnace?
Gas furnaces produce air that is 130-140°F range. So 85-92°F feels cold to new heat pump owners. Your body temperature is around 98.6°F (everyone’s body temperature is slightly different, but that’s the average). Since heat pumps produce air that’s below that, it can feel cold to you.
Why does my heat go cold when idling?
Two things come to mind, defective or wrong thermostat or low coolant level. The engine makes very little heat when idling, and if the thermostat does not close, the engine coolant temperature may drop low enough that you’ll get no heat from the heater core.
