Performed annual maintenance on the customer’s oil-fired furnace. Replaced the nozzle, filter, and strainer. The furnace and heat exchanger were found to be clean and did not require vacuuming. During inspection, the burner electrodes were found to be worn and in need of replacement; this was completed with the customer’s approval. Resealed/recemented the smoke pipe connection to the chimney. Verified all system safeties and performed both combustion and draft tests. The furnace is operating within proper specifications. Installed a bracket in the return area to support the air filter and prevent it from resting on the blower motor, which had been causing heat damage to the filter. At this time, the system is running properly.
