Saving oil with an oil-fired furnace
The tip regarding nozzle size was a lot of mis-information. Having worked for a large oil distributor and service supplier I can tell you that installing a larger than recommended nozzle was not the way to customer satisfaction. If anything, it can cause a giant headache for the service department as the calls come in complaining about noise, smoke and a variety of other problems. No company would knowingly do it if they knew what the down side was. Too large of a nozzle causes excess smoke, start-up noise, soot and an unnecessary service call that costs everyone money. So why do it.
To size a nozzle based on square footage of one's house is also a folly because if the nozzle is too small it'll never heat the boiler/furnace enough to provide the rated btu's per hour. If in question, call the manufacturer of the unit and talk to their tech people. I think you'll find them most helpful. Comments welcome. Abarth1202@ AOL.com
