Furnace Problem ?
Hope I can gets some feedbak on a recent furnace issue, I experienced.
The facts: Oil fired furnace: Weil-McClean Beckett Burner Forced hot water system Tank located in a shed outside of house-Shed is heated by furnace heated generated, so never gets cold or freezing #2 Oil used - treated with 'Hot Shot' Power-Vent Exhaust - from furnace room to outside Issue: This morning I woke up, and house seemed very cold, so I turned up the thermostas, and didn't think anything of it. However, when I went to take a shower, I had 'no' hot water, zip, nada ! Just cold water coming out. That know, I wne to the furnace shed, and sure enough the furnace had shut down. I have no idea, how long it was in this state, but shutdown, sometime between midnight and 7am. Just FYI: Have had many recent parts replaced on furnace and Power-Vent, and basically all tuned-up, by Oil dealer. I'm talking repairs within the last 2 wks. Wondering why the furnace shut down, for no reason? Now I don't know if this is a factor at all, but yesterday and all night long there were VERY high winds ! Could this somehow be a factor, and maybe the wind caused some back-drafts to the furnace, and shut it down? I might be reaching on this one, but I have no other explanation? Anyone have thoughts or ideas about the furnace failure. Thanks, BD |
