It's been turning on and off for no reason. We weren't using any hot water, and it's summer. The pipe is hot enough to burn my hand. It doesn't get that hot in the winter. It's an oil furnace. I don't smell anything burning. I'm just worrying because my neighbor's house burnt down this spring from a wood stove pipe, and this is a 250-year-old wooden house.
Does anybody know why it would be doing this?
I'm so glad we're moving into our new house in a couple weeks.
yikes - isn't this something you light in the fall anyway? I don't know about oil, just natural gas - is there some kind of pilot that needs to be turned off?
I think it needs to be cleaned out??? Sounds like soot, or particals burning..... Give Haruka one of those chimney sweeper things, and push her into the pipe!!!! :hi: :hug:
My energy plan would be to take all oil heaters out for good, and replace with electric it is a waste of oil to heat homes, use oil for air/cars/ etc......:hi:
