Oil Furnaces
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.

In the three very different plumbing issues I’ve called on Joe Fanning to save me from, he’s proven he’s a great plumber, and seemingly an even better human being. I hope W.L Stanton realizes what an asset he is to their company… I’ll always call their number and ask for him for my plumbing needs.

We reached out W.L. Stanton for some problems with our ejector pump and they were very responsive. The team did an awesome job replacing a unit that had been there for 30+ years. They were extra careful to make sure that the work area and the rest of our home wasn’t impacted by what can often be a very “dirty job.” Greatly appreciated their promptness and transparency on cost.

A very knowledgeable technician. Polite and courteous and willing to explain everything so I knew what was going to be done. Did an excellent job and left the area clean and tidy. All in all a very good experience and I will recommend W. L. Staton to anyone. Like that the company sends you a picture of the technician coming to do the work. Thought the price for the work was responsible and well explained.
Justin returned to install a new water softener which was an all day job. Again, everything done correctly and with care and explanation. Staton is fortunate to have him as one of their technicians. Justin takes his job very seriously and does excellent work. The company is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them.
