How to reset your oil burner?
The reset button is typically located inside the blower compartment on the side of the blower motor. When should I press the reset button? First, you need to locate your circuit breaker and switch off the power supply to the furnace. Then, if you see that the button is up, push it to reset your furnace.
When to bleed the fuel line on a Firebird diesel boiler?
When your diesel boiler runs out of fuel you may need to bleed the fuel line of air (once the tank has been filled again) in order to get the diesel boiler running again. This is a short video showing you how to bleed a Firebird Diesel Boiler using the bleed nozzle.
What’s the difference between a boiler and a burner?
The purpose of the burner is to mix molecules of fuel with molecules of air. A boiler will run only as well as the burner performs. A poorly designed boiler with an efficient burner may perform better than a well-designed boiler with a poor burner.
Which is better a good burner or a bad burner?
The purpose of the burner is to mix molecules of fuel with molecules of air. A boiler will run only as well as the burner performs. A poorly designed boiler with an efficient burner may perform better than a well-designed boiler with a poor burner.
What to do when your furnace runs out of fuel?
Fuel that has been drained into a clean, dry container can be returned to the fuel tank after it has been drained. Check the burner for ignition. The bleeder valve should be returned to the fully closed position you found it in. The furnace should be switched to the “On” position. At this point, the furnace should relight.
What happens when you trip the burner on a gas boiler?
A gas/oil boiler has no inventory or bed of fuel. When you trip the burner, for all practical purposes, the heat input immediately stops.
Why is there a problem with boiler efficiency?
Another common issue occurs when it comes to boiler efficiency is not getting the right amount of air. For proper combustion of fuel inside the boiler, a certain amount of oxygen is required. If too little air is present, the carbon in the fuel will be oxidized, making carbon monoxide.

What happens when there is too little air in a boiler?
If too little air is present, the carbon in the fuel will be oxidized, making carbon monoxide. This causes less heat to release because the fuel isn’t completely burned, which lowers fuel use efficiency.
