Waste Oil Burners After The Heating Season

Is it time to sit back and do nothing? NO. Your waste oil burner worked all heating season and now it is on a multi-month temporary retirement. There are service matters that can be done now to save you grief later. Did you flush your pump and burner out with diesel fuel and then cut off the power to the burner? Flushing gets the waste oil out that could deposit sediments in the lines and burner during the off-season. If power is left on the burner it will continue to preheat oil and accelerate the sediments to form as sludge in the lines. Without this preventative service you can expect nozzle plugs, and solenoids to stick in the Fall. Filters, valves, and tanks should be serviced now too. Firelake dealers are skilled to do this work and keep your troubles to a minimum.

Waste Oil Parts by the Piece

The times have changed in the waste oil heating industry. When it comes time to service your equipment can you buy what you need or are you forced to buy a complete burner, assembly, or exchanger? Some manufacturers do NOT sell individual parts. Knowing this up front may change your outlook on buying “inexpensive” or “highly marketed” burners and heaters. At Firelake we sell individual parts right down to o-rings and screws so you do not have to pay excessive money to restore heat in your shop. In comparable service situations you could face a $600 parts order from the competition. At Firelake customer service is available just by making a call or email to determine what parts are needed and how to get them fast. Ever hear of No-Ad products? Top quality with minimal advertising. Firelake too may be the best secret of the industry, using its resources to make good product and generate customer satisfaction. Firelake is the same company prior known as Shenandoah Waste Oil Heaters. The Firelake – Shenandoah tradition continues from the 1980’s.

Independent HVAC Dealer Speaks Mind

In the waste oil heating industry feedback from the people working on the equipment is very important. When those same people contact you and comment,

“…. and we have been in the HVAC industry for over 30 years. We service a five state area, NE IA, MO, KS, and IL. We’ve worked on them all and I will say that FireLake products stand far above the rest in all categories, hands down.”,

it speaks solidly for your equipment design. The comment holds the highest value with Firelake as it came from a broad based company that is not a Firelake Distributor. Designing and building high quality waste oil heaters has been standard operation at Firelake over many, many years. We never get tired of hearing about the good our equipment has done for customers. Find out why our leading design in Horizon furnaces maintains a lead in the industry. See our CONTACT tab on the Firelake website. www.firelakeheaters.com

Not Wise to be Paid for Your Used Oil ?

Used oil is being generated in your service bays and stored at your shop. What are you doing with the oil? Some business owners proudly say I get paid for it. A company comes to my shop, takes the oil and gives me cash. Does it sound great to get a dollar for each gallon? Yes it does but does it short change your business. That gallon of used oil holds 150,000 btus of heat you could be heating your shop with. If you in turn use that “free” dollar plus another dollar from your pocket to buy diesel, propane, or therms of natural gas you could be paying energy bills that have no return on your money. If you applied that same out-of-pocket money to purchasing or leasing a Firelake brand used oil heater you would heat you shop with your own oil and pay off the heater while doing it. The details can be explained using your operating costs as the example. In many cases the bottom line suggests every gallon of oil you sell is a step in the wrong economic direction. Contact Firelake and their Distributors to learn how.

Firelake Proves Waste Oil Burner Durability

After 59,054 hours and many years of providing service a Firelake waste oil burner is still controlling temperatures within a Chevron blending and packaging process in Colorado. Recently examined for routine maintenance the burner was determined to have many hours of service left for the customer’s operation. Approximately 41,300,000,000 btus have passed through this burner. If an equal amount of propane or diesel fuel were purchased the amount would be over 300,000 gallons. If $2/gallon were paid the customer saved $600,000 dollars in fuel bills. What a return on investment ! The burner is typical of the simple yet effective Firelake design to handle waste fuels and turn them in to useful energy. Fireklake products are better known to some as the “Shenandoah Waste Oil Heater” or “Shenandoah Incinerator and Cremators”. The employees at Firelake, who were formerly Shenandoah employees are very proud of the products their waste oil equipment customers have enjoyed since the 1980’s.
