With the sometimes harsh winters of Maryland, it is important to have a reliable and well maintained residential boiler. For quality boiler repair, maintenance, replacement, and installation look no further than Staton. Contact us today for more information on all of your boiler needs.
Oil furnaces use petroleum based fuels such as diesel or kerosene to create heat. The oil furnace consists of a storage tank, an oil burner, a heat exchanger, filters and a blower motor. Oil from the tank is sprayed onto electrodes in the burner and ignited, transferring the heat to the heat exchanger. This violent type of ignition allows oil furnaces to heat your home very quickly. When the air inside the heat exchanger gets warmer it rises and pushes the cold air down into the burners. The hot air is then pushed out into your home’s ductwork by a blower fan, and return ducts bring more cold air into the furnace.
Benefits Of Oil Furnace Installation
Most oil furnaces have an average Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of 83, meaning that 83% of the fuel they burn goes to heating your house. In some areas, traditional furnace oil can be mixed with biodiesel to reduce the harmful environmental effects even further. Oil furnaces also have a very long lifespan, usually lasting upwards of 15 to 20 years with little to no maintenance aside from periodic changing of the fuel filter. Also, oil furnaces draw fuel from a storage tank located on your property. This way you always have your own supply, even when other sources of fuel, such as natural gas or propane, are not available.
In addition to being energy efficient, oil furnaces are a very safe and clean choice for your home’s heating system. Modern oil furnaces produce very little smoke and soot and their exhaust stays in the furnace instead of being released into the atmosphere. For further increased efficiency, you can also add a two stage burner when you install an oil furnace. A two stage boiler runs more quietly, is more energy efficient and can prolong the life of your furnace.
If you want all of the efficiency of an oil furnace in your Anne Arundel County, Maryland home, call Staton Heating, Cooling & Plumbing today. We can install an oil furnace in your home so that you stay comfortable all winter long. We can also service your existing oil furnace to make sure you get as much life out of it as possible.

Called Staton for a heat pump check-up and found out we had a
faulty starter which could cause major problems down the road. Andrew my Staton technician clearly explained everything to me , but put no pressure on me to get it fixed immediately. I decided to get the job done at a great price. Andrew was awesome. He took care of my problem. He was a very professional, caring individual. I am very pleased with the results. I will not hesitate to call Staton again should I have another problem with my heat pump.
What a wonderful company. I went down into the basement this
morning (7/21/21 - Wednesday) and I found another leak in my
overhead copper piping. I tried to fix it myself, but I made it much
worse. I even had to turn the water off because of water escaping
from the copper pipe. I called Stanton and was greeted by a very
nice caring lady, and W. L. Staton was able to come out in the morning
to fix my leak. Joe and Paul were very nice polite professionals I
immediately took a liking to them . They ended up replacing all the
copper hot water pipes in the basement ceiling for a very
reasonable price. They quoted me the price before they began
the work! (I had many other small leaks in these pipes.) They
did a great job. NO MORE LEAKS!! I will recommend
them to others, and they will be my go to plumbers from
now on. Thank you W. L. Stanton!!

W. L. Staton was quick to respond to a domestic hot water outage on the same morning that I called for help. Vince Harris did a great job of performing routine maintenance on two Navien tankless hot water heaters, then making a hour-long trip to pick up a replacement part for one that failed on one of the units. His work was excellent, he was very courteous, and he went out of his way to pick up the part I needed to get my whole system up and running again. I will be calling W. L. Staton again for future maintenance and repairs on these units.

Joe Fanning was our Plumming tech. He did a very good job assessing the situation and the issue. Gave me a quote as to what he was going to do to correct the problem. He was very polite and courteous and respected our property. He did a great job in repairing the leaky pipe. Cleaned up the area and then explain to me what he did had me test it.

Tim was excellent! He explained everything that he checked while doing Fall HVAC maintenance, including 27 detailed pictures inside and outside the unit. All of the measurements were shown and were in range.
I’m very impressed with how thorough and knowledgeable he was.
He was very personable and professional, as well.
We highly recommend W L Staton and Tim.
