Our Efficiency Report Card
Our technician will provide you with your efficiency report based upon the completion of your equipment tune-up. Your efficiency report card will measure and rate efficiency factors such as smoke, draft, carbon dioxide, and combustion efficiency.
- 1. Smoke
- Smoke is a measurement of the flue gas density at the rear of your heating unit. This measures your heating emissions. Special fuel additives reduce smoke emissions, helps your system burn more efficiently.
- 2. Draft
- Measured in “inches of water column,” the negative indicates airflow away from the heating unit or up to the chimney.
- 3. Carbon Dioxide
- The complete burning of fuel oil is measured by percent of the flue gasses. The reading us affected by the amount of the air introduced at the burner. CO2 reading also indicates how efficiently your burner uses fuel.
- 4. Combustion Efficiency
- This measures how efficiently your system burns the heating oil you purchase. At the point that yearly combustion efficiency tests turn around or below 78%, some measures need to be taken to improve your overall efficiency, thereby reducing your annual consumption of fuel oil. The measurement can be very valuable. Older, less advance heating systems are typically less efficient – which means you buy more fuel (up to 20%) in any given heating season.
