Subject: Re: Waste oil heaters, any brand to stay away from?


SE Nebraska
We've had a Lanair for about 10 years. Very happy. Upgraded to their mx200 about 3 years ago, replacing one of their older models. Both were good furnaces. Dad has clean burns in the shop at work, and they seem to have lots of problems with them. We do leave ours on overnite occasionally and never had a problem. I think from a safety standpoint there is little to worry about. At least none more than any other furnace. The oil spill thing could be a concern. We plumbed ours and added some safety pump shutoff switches to virtually eliminate any chance of this happening. Been long enough ago that I don't remember exactly what we did. But I think the main thing was to add a switch with a timer on it to only let the pump run X number of minutes every time it started. (this is a pump that brings oil from outside tank to small inside tank)
