Tips for Equipment upgrades and replacements:
Consider a digital setback thermostat. These have 7 day settings and can be programmed to set your house temperatures to the time you want the heat warmer and set back temps at night to save fuel costs. The difference in cost between good equipment and poor equipment is surprisingly low, make sure to buy a high-quality product.

Don’t buy a brand that isn’t commonly serviced by local dealers. They turn out to be more expensive in the long run. Today efficient systems use less fuel, keeping heating bills down. They can pay for themselves within 5 to 8 years. A new heating system is one of the top five investments you can make in your home. This is an excellent advantage when selling your home.

Oil Heating Efficiency Tips
Service your system annually: Oil combustion produces soot that insulates heat exchanger and flue pipe surfaces over time and must be removed. This is part of an annual service routine that includes nozzle and filter replacement, safety control testing, and a combustion efficiency test (measurement of stack temperature and flue gases plus a calculation). Ask your serviceman for the efficiency test result: if it is less than 80%, ask why? If it cannot be increased with minor tuning/changes, it may make economic sense to consider replacing your heating system. New systems typically produce 85%+ efficiency test results.

Consider replacing older systems. If your system is over twenty years old, and efficiency is low, consider replacing it. It’s not unusual for homeowners to experience a 20% fuel saving after upgrading from an old system to a new high-efficiency system.

Ask your serviceman if your nozzle can be ‘downsized’. Smaller nozzles allow the system to run longer while burning the same amount of fuel, thus increasing the on-time and operating efficiency. This is a no-cost option.

Make sure the air filters are replaced/cleaned as required on warm air distribution system. With hot water distribution systems, fix leaks promptly and ensure air locks are not compromising water movement.
