Can anyone please give me specific step-by-step instructions on how to do the annual cleaning/servicing on my home oil furnace. It has not been cleaned or maintained for three years.

what i usually do EVERY YEAR before the heating season starts is change the nozzel and oil filter, vacuum the firebox and check the spark gap and then look at he chimney clean out and clean it if necessary.

Hi:

This is a homeowner task IF you know what you are doing. Otherwise, please call a professional. Fuel oil vapor is very explosive. Many moons ago, I went to a house where an oil fired furnace in a hallway closet had misfired. It blew the closet door off its hinges and embedded it in the sheetrock across the hall. Thanks. John.
