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.
Joe was so detailed oriented to every part of the job. What a huge difference from the last company we had before Staton. Every time we have an issue the job is handled so much better. I recommend Staton to all of our clients.

Staton was great to work with. We had two issues (shower leak and a failing sump pump). Shawn, our tech, was very professional and explained everything that he was going to do. He got us up and running again in very quick fashion and now everything works again!! Thank you, Shawn! And sorry you had to get a little wet!! We will be calling you again for future plumbing needs!

I was looking for a plumber and my neighbor suggested Staton. She said she had a great experience with Staton fixing her A/C and said they do plumbing as well. I'm so glad I did. I had a great experience with Staton from the front desk to the plumbers. Everyone was very friendly, professional, and answered all of my questions. They went above their duties. The plumbers Mike and Gabe did a fantastic job on my plumming. I highly recommend Staton.
