How to Get the Most Out of Waste Oil Furnace Installation
Here’s what every smart operator should know before signing off on their new system.
1. Know What You’re Already Spending on Heat
Before installing anything, get real about your current energy cost.
- How much are you paying to heat the shop each season?
- Are you dumping used oil you could be burning?
- Is your current system struggling to keep up—or chewing through repair costs?
A waste oil furnace installation isn’t just about adding heat—it’s about replacing overhead with self-sustaining efficiency. If you're running a high-volume shop that generates used oil from fleet work, heavy equipment, or automotive service, you're literally sitting on your fuel source. Time to use it.
2. Turn “Free Fuel” Into a Full ROI
One of the biggest advantages of a waste oil furnace installation is obvious—you already have the fuel.
Used motor oil, hydraulic fluid, transmission oil—it’s all energy waiting to be converted. But not all systems handle it the same. Clean Burn units are engineered to burn a wide variety of waste oils efficiently and safely without constant clogging or messy workarounds. When paired with expert installation, your waste oil heater becomes a self-sustaining powerhouse—one that slashes fuel costs, reduces disposal fees, and keeps you independent from traditional energy markets.
3. One Size Doesn’t Fit All
The wrong furnace in the right shop is still the wrong move. Having the fuel only helps if you are maximizing its efficiency with a furnace that matches your space.
Waste oil heater sizing depends on your:
- Square footage
- Ceiling height
- Oil generation volume
- Airflow requirements
- Zone controls and layout
That’s why we conduct a full on-site assessment before any install—we’re not guessing. We’re calculating. The right system, installed the right way, doesn’t just heat your space;, it gives you precise control over where, when, and how heat is delivered.
4. Plan for Training and Team Adoption
Your crew needs to know how this system works—period. From fuel handling to daily checks, your waste oil furnace is a reliable workhorse only if it’s respected like one. That’s why we train your team on safe handling, routine maintenance, and how to troubleshoot with confidence. You’re not just installing a heater. You’re transforming how your team interacts with your facility’s energy system. The more they know, the smoother it runs.
5. Work With a Certified Clean Burn Installer
