OIL SMELL IN HOUSE WHEN OIL BOILER RUNS

oil smell in house when oil burner runs ,found a blocked chimney for the most part . chimney will need a liner installed soon

[@4everbassets]

I would probably be this woman. I grew up watching my dad fix things around the house and handing him tools he would need & because of that I can repair a lot of things myself. I hope none of the guys who have worked at my house have ever thought what some of you guys are saying! 😂 The fascination of watching people work continues because here I am watching Steve & BabyDog.

[@benink5690]

I'm gonna watch yoir every move. Just to learn. You fn bet. I'll still never f with a bug furnace like mine tho lol.

[@Jon-ki2jf]

Hey Steve I just started my own hvac/ plumbing business at 26 years old. I enjoy your videos and I learn some valuable stuff from them! Keep posting videos!

[@outofthinair1]

RIP Baby Dog , you were indeed next level. Thanks for what you do Steve it is very much appreciated.

[@Rezcat-y6r]

Hey Steve! She's a talker, Mama! She's a talker! Great video! Great customer service! Have a great weekend! God bless!

[@michaelpadovani9566]

Nice work Steve, you did all you could on this job. She was really interested in your work - some may find that annoying, but I never mind talking about my jobs with others. Depends on the person I think.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Michael Padovani i like to explain things to people so they have a clew whats going on in there house

[@chuckyboy7940]

Yup. Only crooked trades get upset if the customer is interested. Its differant if shes questioning your honesty or thinks she knows more than you.

[@mattg2145]

Gotta love the ones who try and tell you how to do your job at least she was just a talker good job Steve . I had the same problem last night blocked oil line what a bear that was.

it was good to have the woman talking because it added to the information quite well in this informative video

I tell customers that since they are paying the bill, they can watch if they so choose to. It's when they grab the light and get in the way that ya have to politely ask them to back off. Yes, sometimes we have to kiss their ass.

[@lazydaze4840]

Pretty funny though when she said "i hope you are not draining all of my oil" like you dont know what you are doing

[@kasfranzese8645]

Na watching helps people learn about the problem and when to know there is a problem and what to say when they call their tech. Also she sounds cute send her my way! Thats the problem with people everything is a secret so they can screw you out of money!

[@Guyhakverdi]

She did not stop talking through out the service :)

Looks like a leak at 5:24, and 20:21. Could be wrong but figured i'd mention it.

[@markwatson9816]

You beat me to it! Thanks for mentioning it so I don't have to ;-)

[@2mikeherzog]

I always watch my contractors , because they always leave the doors wide open when going in and out of the basement, and like this channel I find learning how repairs are done will save me money. isn't that why we are all hear to watch and learn what we can fix and what we should call a professional in for? At $96 an hour for a plumber to change a wax ring, change a shut off, or flush and clean your boiler? I don't get in their way or stand directly behind them.

[@toddhenning6628]

Sounds like Steves gonna get lucky mamma!!!Next level mamma... Steve gonna take her to the next level yall

[@jamesshanks2614]

Steven, You might want to tell any customers if they buy diesel fuel at the local station that they need to keep the receipts so they can add the receipts to the tax filing so they get the state and federal taxes back as the diesel fuel is being used for off road use hence the customer is entitled to the taxes back. Here in New Hampshire that amounts to $.50 per gallon so if you buy 25 gallons of fuel that's $12.50 in taxes for one trip for diesel fuel for heating the house. Most people I see buying diesel fuel here in New Hampshire average 20 to 25 gallons a week. It adds up to a lot of coin. Nice job

[@notajp]

James Shanks I go to the local CoOp and buy off road diesel to run in my oil furnace out in the shop. No taxes.

[@kroozman10]

Nice job Steve! You do have a lot of patience.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+kroozman10 not really but i try

[@Fireship1]

I'm sure having her there was like having a helper. You should have made her change the tank filter while she was yapping. Lol. That flue pipe looked disintegrated. I liked that she asked if diesel and kerosene were the same. Hell, she could use jet fuel if she wanted to have a VERY high heating bill! 😉

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Fireship1 yes the flue liner was letting go and falling down

[@MrSmike123]

As a retired Tech, I have run across many strange Ladys. You must be nice as after all you want them to call you back some day. Guys please calm down just because she was talking to Steve didn't mean anything else but talk! Seems like to me the ego problems are with the comments! LOL

[@misterindependent7994]

Some gals are just curious? Many of them more tech savvy then the husband. The best of techs can hold a conversation and do their job simultaneously. I love to walk customers like her through the diagnosis so that we can conversate and stay on task.

One in your wall?

[@michaellalanae7228]

Should I change the pump in this case ?

[@adaway5467]

Very entertaining video, adorable dog! Just bought a house with oil heating, the whole workspace / heating system room stinks unbearably. I guess it's normal or shouldn't it smell, maybe cleaning the floor once would help. The thing is I'm not using it (hot country). Thought it would stink only when u use it. Is there a airhole in the tank that i can close when not using it? Im totally new with this thing.

[@LincolnSP150]

Looks like just changing the fittings and redo the the actual plumbing method, the holes in the wall are already high enough, unless you want a longer nipple into the top of the tank.

[@chadmoser8109]

That's the worst Steve, I get people sniffin up my ass while I work too, while I don't let it bother me at all, I still find that the jobs come out much better if the people just leave ya the hell alone..too many questions and my favorite thing is when a homeowner will come out and say "oh I'm actually a general contractor" it's like ok guy if you're so handy and know what you're talking about then why the hell did you call me out to do it

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Chad Moser i have people watch me all the time i am use to it now

[@MrGrand2000]

You guys need to chill..Many customers would like to learn and become educated on how things work.We are not there to scrutinize your work or harass you

[@hanky97007]

Also Diesel has road taxes added to it at the pump.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+hanky97007 yes 50 cents per gallon ,but if you run out i guess as lease you can get something to run untill the oil dilerery guy comes . they do not just run out for you believe me . usally a day or so before they get there ,they wait till they have a few dileries in your area .to mike the run ,so moral to story do not let your oil run low if your smart

[@kevinhoney1385]

[@jasonbrus7512]

What kinda fuel pressure should you have on oil fired burner. I dont work on oil fired stuff here in alabama but like to learn. Also can you connect a guage anywere to check pressure

[@hinspect]

Diesel and Kerosene are NOT the same. Rented a torpedo heater for a heat stress test on electronics in a room and the fumes were terrible. We figured it must have been on a jobsite and ran out of Kerosene so they had Diesel on hand and used that. I emptied out the tank and refilled with fresh Kerosene and problem went away, no more fumes!

[@dennisnoone7427]

man she cant' shut up, great job!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Dennis Noone thanks man

[@MartyClevenger91]

Steve I have the same problem I think - the filter hasn't been cleaned since I bought the house. Do you think that low flow is causing the smell? I was told I might have a burned out element. The filter has no information on it, I have no idea what it is to replace it. Thanks

[@douglassmith831]

Steven Help I have seen most of your videos, this boiler has a valve on the head/pressure side of the pump what do they call that ?? My house is in a hill and I am trying to setup my boiler to run on what would be like a 3rd floor witch is the first floor for out back with the tank inside the garage 22ft below I have a Beckett frame and motor to run the pump by the tank and send up oil under pressure using 5000psi brake line and a relay. or is there some kind of loop that I could make (like a zone in heating) to run with the boiler and just pull from that? the Sun pump people only can make 18 ft with there best pump The tank was out side next to the house and we get down to -27 at night sometimes up here in the white mountains New Hampshire I have had to buy a lot of kerosene to keep things running. last year $$$, the garage only went down to +25 on the coldest night. I don't want to move the boiler with 5 zones or heat the garage

[@Brad1237202]
