Plandome Manor Home Inspection: Oil fired furnaces must be serviced and cleaned annually, and as you can see that is not the case here.

An efficiency test is also recommended as this insures that all of the oil being introduced into the burn chamber is being burned, and if not you can get a puffback which can spread soot throughout the house.

This can cause the entire house to be coated in soot and is quite a job to clean up. Signs that an efficiency test were previously performed is a small 1/4 inch hole in the exhaust pipe above the boiler case.

So if you need an experienced home inspector with hands-on background for a home in Plandome, Plandome Heights, or Plandome Manor, Meticulous Home Inspection is quite familiar with this area, and issues like these, and more.
