One word of caution: Most of the time when an untrained person gets involved in heating or furnace units repairs he has a great chance of creating a "basket of disassembled parts" -- where your heating or furnace units is a mess of parts that the heating or furnace units repair technician must then reassemble before he can even check what the trouble is. Only once he has put the heating or furnace units back together can he repair the original problem. This, of course, ends up costing you more for the same repair.

Oil and gas furnaces

MOST FURNACE PROBLEMS result from minor causes that homeowners generally can fix themselves—if not permanently, then at least temporarily so they can get some heat into the home to tide them over until help arrives. Before we discuss the ways to approach the problem, here are some basic facts you need to know.
A furnace is only one part of a typical home heating system. It is the place where heat is produced. But heat must be delivered to rooms. Otherwise, it is wasted. Thus, a delivery system constitutes the other part of the system.
Regardless of whether your furnace burns oil or gas to make heat, that heat is delivered by hot water, steam, or forced air. In a hot-water system, the oil- or gas-fed fire heats water to a temperature below its boiling point. Heated water is delivered to a convection system in each room, and heat is radiated.
A steam system works in a similar manner. However, water is heated in a boiler to above its boiling point so that steam is created. This steam, rather than hot water, is then delivered to each room of the house.
With a forced-air system, the oil Or gas flame heats air which is blown through ducts into the rooms of the house by means of a blower.
Obviously, when you troubleshoot a home heating system you must consider the type of furnace (oil or gas) and the type of delivery system (hot water, steam or air).
How to get a stopped oil burner going again
SUPPOSE YOUR OIL BURNER stops working. The temperature in the house keeps dropping, and you don't hear that "rushing" sound coming from inside the furnace cabinet which signifies that oil is being burned. Here is what to do, and in the proper sequence:
1. Check the thermostat. Observe the indicated room temperature on the thermostat thermometer. Set the thermostat at least five degrees above that. The burner should go on.
In other words, if the thermometer tells you that the room temperature is 65°, turn the thermostat pointer to the mark indicating the 70" setting.
Important: If the thermostat is an automatic day-night control, make certain that the cycle setting has not manually.
Open the thermostat cover. If the dial control is a sealed capsule full of mercury, close the thermostat cover. A mercury control seldom gives trouble.
However, if the control consists of a set of contact points, dirt between the points may be preventing them from meeting. Lack of point contact keeps the thermostat "open," and prevents the furnace ignition system from starting.
Pass a fresh, crisp dollar bill, business card, or tag that is the thickness of a business card between the points to remove dirt. If the furnace still fails to start, then the cause of the problem is not the thermostat.
2. Make sure that someone hasn't accidentally turned off one of the emergency switches. Most oil burners are equipped with two emergency switches, but there may be more. Usually one switch is on the furnace itself, while a second one is often located at a distant spot. You may find this second switch at the head of the basement stairway or above the basement door that leads to the yard.
Emergency switches that are at the head of basement stairways are particularly susceptible to inadvertent shut-off when someone in the house, intending to turn the basement lights on or off, switches the burner emergency switch instead.
Reminder: It would be a good idea to locate emergency switches now so you will know where they are before a problem occurs.
