I immediately shut it down. I opened the inspection window and there was a nice fire burning inside. I got that fire out, diconnected the furnace and drug it outside. Is there an electric heater that would heat a 22' x 18 " garage?

We have local HVAC guys come in and service our oil burning boiler. They replace the nozzle and change the filter and clean and inspect the unit. Costs about $125, cheap insurance in my mind. Previous unit there when we moved in had a badly clogged heat exchanger, first time we fired it up it was blowing exhaust out the inspection hole instead of up the flue. The PO never had it serviced. We ended up replacing it instead of worrying if when we went to bed we would never wake up
