Oil Furnace Maintenance Checklist

This 27-point Oil Furnace Maintenance Checklist can be used for regular inspections to clean and service vital parts, ensuring safe and efficient heating.

1. Is the overall condition of the furnace or boiler checked to ensure proper and safe operation?

2. Is the heat exchanger cleaned to maintain efficient heat transfer and prevent buildup that can reduce system performance?

3. Is the flue pipe and base of the chimney removed and cleaned to eliminate obstructions and ensure safe venting of combustion gases?

4. Is the flue pipe reinstalled properly and is the joint at the thimble sealed to prevent gas leaks?

5. Are all clean-out doors sealed to maintain proper airflow and system efficiency?

6. Is the oil burner serviced to ensure it operates efficiently and reliably?

7. Is the nozzle replaced to maintain proper fuel spray pattern and combustion efficiency?

8. Is the end cone inspected for wear or damage that could impact burner performance?

9. Are the electrodes cleaned and inspected for cracks and wear to ensure reliable ignition?

10. Is the oil filter and gasket replaced, and is the new gasket lubricated with oil to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks?

11. Is the fuel pump strainer and gasket cleaned and replaced (if applicable) to maintain proper fuel flow and prevent clogs?

12. Is the cad cell cleaned and inspected to ensure it can accurately detect flame presence and support safe burner operation?

13. Are all wiring connections checked and tightened to ensure electrical safety and proper function of system components?

14. Is the motor oiled to reduce friction and ensure smooth, efficient operation?

15. Is the oil burner fan cleaned to maintain efficient airflow and burner performance?

16. Is the burner started up and is its operation checked to ensure proper ignition and combustion?

17. Are pump pressure and vacuum readings checked to confirm proper fuel delivery and burner performance?

18. Are all safety controls, limits, and related components checked to ensure the system will shut down safely in abnormal conditions?

19. Is a combustion efficiency test performed to assess and optimize burner performance and fuel usage?

20. Is the draft overfire and in the breech checked to ensure proper ventilation and combustion conditions?

21. Is a smoke test conducted and adjustments made to achieve a clean, efficient fire?

22. Is the draft overfire rechecked if any air band adjustment was made, to confirm optimal combustion conditions?

23. Is the CO₂ level checked both overfire and in the breech to verify efficient combustion and safe operation?

24. Is the furnace and surrounding area cleaned up to maintain a safe and tidy service environment?

25. Are stack and net stack temperatures taken to evaluate heat transfer efficiency and system performance?

26. For boiler systems, are all pumps, valves, and controls checked to ensure they are functioning correctly?

27. Is the fuel level in the oil tank checked and the customer advised if the level is low to avoid service interruptions?
