Williamson Oil Furnace
Question
Which furnace is a better brand? What problems if any would I expect from
either furnace.
I live in West Virginia so I will probably be using it 7 or 8 months out of
the year.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Answers
Purchase what is prevalent in your area.. You know!!
One that has instant service …parts on hand…24 hour
everyday emergency service… Will do an A-1 installation.
Will be in business tommorrow and next year and the year
after. Williamson and Armstrong are inexpensive units…
but there isn’t a dealer/service on every corner…Check
your area out for dealers..

Associated Williamson Oil Furnace Question: my williamson oil furnace is only blowing out cool air whats my problem?
- Answer:The burner is probably locked out for some reason. Should be a reset button on the burner. If it runs after resetting but locks out again there is some problem, do not keep resetting because fuel may accumulate in the chamber if there is an ignition problem. Call a tech for service. Its blowing cold air because your blower is probably operated by a timed control that starts when the heating cycle is suppose to start.

Associated Williamson Oil Furnace Question: fan keeps blowing on house furnace?
have a williamson temp-o-matic oil burning furnace. recently ran it out of fuel oil and had to bleed the line, got the furnace going but now the fan runs constantly and shortly after the heating cycle stops it blows cold air into the house since it is in the basement. shut the power off to furnace in hopes of it resetting itself, didnt work my other option is to shut fan off completely.
- Answer:It sounds like the thermostat fan switch is set to ON instead of AUTO. If not then hopefully you have a wiring diagram and can trace the point that is supposed to be open to kill the fan and then can determine the failure.
Associated Williamson Oil Furnace Question: Loss of hot water! Please help!!?
I have a williamson fuel oil furnace that also heats my hot water. A couple of weeks ago it quit. I had a tech come out and look at it. The nozzle was plugged and the electrodes were a little wore. He replaced the nozzle and re-gapped the electrodes. He also replaced the in line fuel oil filter. He made some adjustments to get me from 66% efficiency to 82%. The aqua stat was set at 180 lo & 180 hi with a diff. of 10. He changed it to 170 lo & 190 hi keeping the diff. at 10. The furnace heats the house good but doesn’t heat the hot water good anymore. You only have about 3 mins. of hot water for the shower and then it gets luke warm for about 2 mins and then gets cold and doesn’t ever get any warmer than luke warm again (no other appliances were running). When the shower was cold I ran hot water at the kitchen sink for a few minutes and it was also cold. It doesn’t matter what temp you set the aqua stat to the same thing happens every time. The furnace will kick on at 160 and kick off at 165 when it’s heating the water (current settings 170 lo 190 hi diff. 10). Is there a problem with the aqua stat? Or is it something else? I had a problem with low water pressure a couple of years ago. We had a tech come out and do an acid flush for our system. It worked very well. He said that we had a high concentration of calcium in our water and we should have our system flushed every couple of years. The water pressure is ok now. Is it possible the heating performance of the coils in the furnace is somehow hindered by the calcium in the water? Can anyone help me?
- Answer:Get the hot water coil flushed again. If you have hard water or allot of mineral in the water, this will attach itself to the inside of the hot water coil, insulating it for heat transfer. normal settings for a hot water furnace are 160 low, 180 high and the diff set at 10.
