If your system provides a number that is a lot greater than the BTU’S that your home needs, then your oil furnace may be oversized
Feeling chilly air blowing out of your oil furnace can be a little irritating. There are a few things that you can do before calling in a professional. If your oil furnace is blowing chilly air, that means that the device is overheating. A oil furnace usually overheats because the air is not circulating respectfully. Some of the reasons the air is not circulating respectfully are, a blocked vent, a jammed air filter, or an oversized oil furnace. A blocked air vent is an easy fix. Every vent in your home should have a foot of space around it to ensure that air can respectfully circulate once it comes out. Do not block vents with furniture or items. A jammed air filter can cause many concerns because if the filter is filled with allergens, dust, dirt, pet dander, and other debris, no air can flow through the filter. You should change your filter every three weeks. When it comes to having a oil furnace, greater is not consistently better. An oversized oil furnace can blast too much overheated air into a small space and when all that heat has nowhere to go, it gets backed up. Furnaces are supposed to heat the air, not contain sizzling air. You need to find out how many BTU’S(British Thermal Units) your home needs and how many your system provides. If your system provides a number that is a lot greater than the BTU’S that your home needs, then your oil furnace may be oversized. Checking these three things is necessary when trying to solve the problem of your oil furnace blowing chilly air. Regularly checking your air filter, and getting your oil furnace checked by a professional at least once a year can make the world of a difference in heating your home respectfully, especially during the chilly Winter time weeks.
