A. Oil heat requires more consistent regular service than any other heat system. The fuel oil must be properly metered and burned for best efficiency. Improper burning efficiency will cause soot to form, which will slow down the heat exchange process and decrease the burning efficiency. Yearly preventive maintenance procedures, from the oil tank to the flue, must be performed.

B. Who Should Be Certified. Electrical certification is a prerequisite to the oil heat exam. Any technician responsible for service or maintenance of oil heat systems should be certified.

C. Competencies covered:

1. fuel oils;

2. combustion products and byproducts;

3. combustion efficiency;

4. gun type oil burners;

5. nozzles;

6. preventative maintenance;

7. basic service procedures;

8. ignition system;

9. oil burner components;

10. fuel oil pumps.
