You are an excellent technician. I’ve been in the field for 18 years now. I grew up in New England. Worked for Big Y supermarkets my first 6 years in the field doing supermarket refrigeration. Awesome job that was, I moved to Texas and work in the San Antonio area. Keep up the good videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The old eye adjustments on the electrodes. LOL Love how he works. Old school is still the best.

[@JoeCdaYT]

some customers be like I can't run this until it breaks, that is what I do with my car all the time. You see them driving down the road with bald tires and a bent rim. Yep some customers I have one like that. Don't hear from them until it is broke beyond repair. Thanks for another great video Steve.

[@DocIlpalazzo]

Made all those problems disappear just like the Rs in your sentences

Running good when you left. Thanks for video Steven!

Steve save the day once again great job. Peace brother and Molly

[@mattkowal90]

Man, you predicted numerous encounters with shit shows this coming heating season, and you are on spot. It's only mid-November and you've encountered 5 of them! What a waste of oil, and who buries the oil feed tube under the concrete to the furnace?! Safety code violation! If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have put the customary pvc pipe cover for the gas line going into my house when my gas boiler was installed. Checked my boiler today, no soot in the draft hood of my Weil McClain CGa-6 PIDN boiler.

I love the sound of the diesel engine from your “bread truck”. Lol

I'd run this unit after changing filters for a week, then come back and change them again. Rinse and repeat the next month, then 3 months, then the regular annual. There is no excuse for this level of neglect. I bet her late husband was taking care of this unit up to his passing, then it was never taken care of since.

[@55098]

I do hope for the best outcome for this lady and other Steve's customers

[@kdmq]

It was -13 C this morning here in Ottawa. We're on the other side of the troughing, polar air here.

[@rjskoko]

I once bought a house with a summer/winter oil burner (radiator heat and domestic hot water). The previous owners let the boiler go years and years without service. First thing I did was get someone in to service it and the oil consumption fell to HALF of what it had been previously (I used the same oil service and saw the records). It wasn't quite as nasty as this setup, but it took the guy a while to get it all spiffed up.

[@65csx83]

How many people lived there previously. Energy consumption increases exponentially per person. Also, higher temp settings cause increase consumption. I think cleaning only affects whether or not the unit operates. Fire is fire.

Dyed red diesel fuel...aka heating oil. When I was a kid we had a oil furnace, and a big silver oil tank. I thought since it was called oil, that is was black like crude oil lol.

[@MyNameIsNick19]

Same here

[@MonoChorMe]

in my area, its called "naphta" (pronounced: 'nAf-Ta') - rather than simply oil heh :)

[@kimjong-un4411]

Heating oil isn’t dyed diesel lol I worked for an oil depot for 27 years. Any dyed fuel is simply tax exempt. Kerosene, gasoline, diesel, bunker fuel, maritime fuel, you name it, can be bought in this way. Fuel oil is different than diesel because of its elemental impurities. Heating oil has between 10000ppm-16000ppm of sulfur, while diesel fuel is roughly 500ppm-1000ppm. The hydrocarbon chains are different between the two fuels as well. Logically, they are two different products.

[@bnasty267]

@@kimjong-un4411 Nope, in the US at least, #2 heating oil is the same stuff as diesel. Many localities now require low-sulfur blends for heating oil as well. As a point of fact, off-road (untaxed) diesel fuel is sold from the exact same tanks/trucks as heating oil. The red dye is the only thing different about most #2 oils.

That was definitely a crusty one Mr. Grinch. Good furnaces though, I service a lot of them up here in northern Maine. Good job👍👍👍

[@Bob.W.]

What is interesting is how these oil burners keep running despite the lack of any maintenance. Kind of like the older car engines. You couldn't kill some of them, unless you ran them completely out of oil.

[@65csx83]

Yes, the very old units were very hardy. I'm on my 3rd unit since 1972; yearly maintenance and sometimes extra. Fireboxes and heat exchangers are puny.

[@russellhancock9765]

[@eddiekilby]

I remember back in the day 60s-70s if you used Amoco Oil you could go many years and not have to replace filters and nozzles. Oil quality is everything.

[@Tatersalad812]

Will it hurt the furnace to have the blower come on as soon and the thermostat calls for heat? I know it would blow cool air until it heated up, but will it harm the furnace any?

[@davidwark9971]

29 minutes and 28 seconds you said you would need to check the pump you think it's the pump? However, I'm just wondering for myself I'm trying to learn, why wouldn't that not have been the issue because you said you've already checked and you have good oil flow?

[@michaelzwick6335]

Steve I'm just going to let you know, that the lighting on videos low, hard to see .

[@65csx83]

Yeah! He should refuse any service calls in cellars and crawl spaces.

[@redneckbryon]

That ICE Drink comes in the same colour as the oil, that could be bad.

[@robertp7209]

When Steve says “the unit”, may need to be replaced, etc., the customer doesn’t know the difference between the oil burner and furnace. Could be she is doing the play stupid act.

[@sqike001ton]

I wonder how many people just let you walk away I have to say I believe about 50% of bad homeowner work comes for I can't afford a professional or a professional has to do more work to make it legal than I can afford. I had a friend when I was a kid more like a teenager who had an issue with his electric plugs in his living room 2 of the outlets were bad they tried to get them fixed but the guy couldn't touch them without running new wires the outlets were not grounded and paper wrapped would copper they didn't have the money to have thousands of dollars of work done so they ran extension cords from the dining room tell me what is more dangerous a non grounded wire with paper and porcelain insulators or extension cords

[@nikolauschiorgno5884]

Did you brush it out . ?

[@marcleblanc7021]

What lind of oil is that? Looks like farm diesel.

[@randytaylor3004]

Steve, I'm curious why sometimes you bleed oil lines by jumping the cad cell and sometimes by hot wiring the motor? What makes you choose one method over the other? Keep up the good content!!

[@Scott-eo7lj]

Steve, I just watched the service you did on your daughter's one. When you took the larger filter off on hers and then opened the valve to kinda purge the line hardly any flow came out but you didn't say anything. When you did the same on this ladys the flow of oil was 10 times more than your daughter's. Is there a reason for that, is it not a big deal?

[@robertbennett6697]

Pulling tanks, oil burner, etc. and switching to gas

[@garyoconnordbaairrepair7775]

On motor vehicles, I changed engine oil for 7 years into the mid 1980s. I can do HVAC Service and Repair, but thankfully the only oil fired furnaces are well into the Foothills and Mountain areas. No oil fired furnaces for me.

[@fishbate2509]

Hey Steve love your videos . I just got my oil tank filled an now when my Beckett burner comes on it blows black smoke in the basement for about 5 min an then clears up an runs fine after even after a few cycles except if it sits like over night or a few hours. Iam gonna change filters an nozzle an clean out what I can any idea what it could be it was working fine till it was filled . Thanks for any info or ideas you can provide .oh subbed to your channel for sure Iam a handyman by trade grew up learning from my father . Thanks again Steve sorry to say but it’s a dyeing breed sorry to say .

[@croyal4240]

Ignition transformer could have a delay meaning spark is weak That could be reason why it smokes at start up

Your dump has facilities to use old contaminated oil? Little amazed you don't have an oil heater yourself that can burn old oil, like a mechanic/transmission shop might have.

[@RCALivingStereo]

I would have wiped that filter holder out myself with paper towels or something, with it that bad

[@clevelandmatheson983]

I'm surprised her oil supplier doesn't suggest a cleaning every year or maybe she pays cash and the supplier doesn't offer cleaning but when I used to heat with oil, my supplier also offered a maintenance contract, they would maintain my boiler every 1 -1 1/2 years.
