A Home's Oil Furnace The Series Windsor County Vermont Home Buyers Accompany Series Post 1, this first post of a series of three posts is to accompany the second series, that I've written for a challenge to write a number of blog post series. The main series title of the three psrt series - A Home's Oil Furnace The Series Windsor County Vermont Home Buyers. These two series are intended to help Home Buyers, Home Owners. Real Estate Brokers and Real Estate Agents, to understand Oil Fired Furnaces, Please feel free to pull up a chair, and enjoy reading and learning about one of the major parts of a home.


Its very important to keep your furnace's fan motor clean, seen that the fan motor is the heart of a forced air system. These motoes are usually about one horsepower or more, and it turnes a cylindrical high speed fan, usually by using a belt similar to the fan belt in your vehicle.
A Home's Oil Furnace The Series Windsor County Vermont Home Buyers Accompany Series Post 1, the fan motor is usual the most neglected appliance in your home. The fan motor of the furnace in most homes goes unchecked for a dozen years. Most are built, not to be serviced. That sure does not mean it does'nt need to be serviced, it just means that theses no service points built in.
Now assuming that the belts are not too tight, the motor tends to last and last, until the bearings to run out of oil. In older motors, the bearings could be oiled through special, and almost impossible to reach fittings. The newer motors tend to be sealed.
When the motor's bearings start to wear, the motor will often produce a hum or sometimes even squeal. And eventually the motor will start to overheat, and then it will burn out. To test the motor, you'll need to run it, without the heat exchanger coming on. You'll usually find a fan only switch either near the motor or at the thermostat. After turning the motor on, listen closely. You should only hear a very minor purr. If you hear any loud noises at all indicates problems. A new motor can very will cost you, between $100.00 or even $200.00, thats uninstalled.
