This has maybe been started in another post

Looking to buy a waste oil furnace. There is a lot choices. Just looking for feedback. Thanks

We use Cleanburns in both of our shops. Never tried any others, so I can't compare. They have been fairly reliable, which is actually high praise when you consider the junk that runs through them. Simple enough that my techs can troubleshoot problems and fix it in an emergency, but I have the vendor come do a service annually.

I am going to have a clean burn rep come out and give me a quote. Checked out the reviews seems good. Thanks

We use a LanAir oil burner. We've had it for about 6 years and have had very little trouble with it. You do have to service them about once a year. As you can imagine, burning used motor oil leaves a lot of deposits in the burner housing. We've found that transmission fluid burns best, so we try to empty our trans flush machine into the oil burner.

Shenandoah, or Firelake, now. I've ran Clean Burns, and although they work fine, they always seemed to be high maintenance. I clean out my Shenandoah once a year and spray the inside down with wd-40 or equivalent. Clean the tip every now and then when it wants to plug and keep the pickup pipe at least 6 inches off the bottom of the barrel will help greatly. My current Shenandoah is right around 20 years old.

I did allot of research and although I never did get one I was looking at the Omni.

For the guys on the fence I have an energylogic 200h and while it works great providing almost free heat the unit is loud. I would strongly recommend a waste oil boiler rather than a furnace. The extra expense of plumbing is worth it IMO.

Do yourself a favor and get an energy logic. Been dealing with them for years. Very low maintenence. Have a clean burn now, and it is light years behind an energy logic.
