I run 3 oil furnaces, 2 are in shop enviroments one of them in a fabricating and polishing shop. The 2 shop furnaces are one's I bought cheap as they were take outs in favor of new boilers. I looked them over and test fired them. One had a Beckett burner and the other a Carlon burner The Beckett fired just fine so I got a new nozzle and cleaned it all up. been firing fine for 12 years now with a yearly cleaning and new nozzle. Cleaned up the Carlon but it still didn't act right. Talked to a couple friends in the know on these and they both said the same thing. Got to a Beckett dealer and tell him what furnace you have. So I did. He plunked a new Beckett burner on the counter and got a new nozzle for it. $375 and that furnace is running just fine. Now all my furnaces are standardized as far as burners and I keep a spare transformer,primary and cell as well as the different size nozzles as I have these at different firing rates. all the filters are standard as well. The guys at Beckett sent me a service manual so I service my own furnaces. Heck of a lot cheaper to screw them up myself (haven't yet) than pay somebody else 300 bucks ($100 each) to screw them up (which happened to at least one of the furnaces every year).
