I live in a large three-story Victorian house, on the first floor. The upstairs tenant just had a delivery of oil to his furnace, after leaving the oil tank empty for over a year (the first floor, where I am, is on a separate furnace). Now it is running, and besides hearing it run all the time, I smell a strong smell of sulfur in my first floor office, at least. I believe my office is directly above the basement area where the furnace is. Is this normal, and what can be done about this? UPDATE: the basement is full of smoke, and I had to breathe through my mouth to go down there. My eyes were watering. Smoke is coming form the furnace. I just shut off the furnace. 9 times out of 10, when you get a delivery, it stirs up sludge and trash in the tank and it clogs up the filters, strainers, and nozzles. Sounds like you need to call someone to come out and change them out and do a basic tune-up. I wouldn't turn it back on, either. It won't get any better..... Thanks! I just spoke to the landlord, and they are going to fix it Sunday after they buy a new nozzle. J. After the landlord responded that HE would do the repair I would be on the phone to the fire department to have the furnace red tagged. Bill |
