Oil Furnace: Pros and Cons

Many homes today have their separate heating systems for heating hot water and heating the house

. There are those, on the other hand, who have systems that manage both these tasks altogether with the use of just a single unit. These homes have oil furnaces and if you have such heating system or you are planning to buy one, here are a couple of things that you must remember:

Advantages

One of the evident advantages of the oil furnace is that you will have only one system to manage your heating system and hot water system. Plus, you will no longer need to rely on traditional means of heating your water.

Since the system works in an on-demand method, your water also gets heated only when you need it. Thus, it is energy-efficient that only a little amount of energy is lost in the process.

Another advantage is the fact that this oil-fueled furnace is a lot cheaper than the traditional gas or electricity furnace; therefore you can get extra savings from it. Also, with oil furnaces, you will be able to easily manage your home's temperature via digital thermostats.

Drawbacks

This heating system has also a share of drawbacks as well. One of which is the fact that this system does not produce hot water as much as the traditional heater. Also, it is likely for you to experience sudden drop of water temperature when it is used successively. A supplemental tank may help ease this problem but then, it will mean another expense.

Another drawback that you may encounter is the fact that you will not be able to reduce your heating costs at all times, even though the oil-fueled furnace is known as the cheapest heating system. This will still vary on the environment that you are in or the location where you are at.

There are also a few brands that are known to produce noise after a few years of usage. Unlike the quality oil-fueled furnace, cheap to average furnaces may not last as long as expected. They may not work quietly after some years of usage.
