Before a catastrophic puffback occurs, make sure you have an HVAC Heater Tune Up and/or an Inspection of your Heating System. Sometimes a Chimney or Vent can be clogged, which is a Hazardous issue.

Oil burner puffbacks, sooting, explosions: what is an oil burner "puffback"? What causes sooty puffbacks on oil fired boilers, furnaces, water heaters? Why are puffbacks dangerous? How does soot build-up cause higher heating costs on oil fired heaters? Why is soot build-up potentially dangerous on heating equipment? Do faulty boilers cause puffbacks or is it faulty maintenance? Can a faulty chimney cause an oil burner puffback?

What Causes Sooty Puffbacks at Oil-Fired Heating Boilers, Furnaces, Water Heaters?

If the reset button on your heating equipment has popped, you might press it ONCE to see if the equipment will run and provide heat (or hot water) while you wait for repair services. 

But do not keep pressing the button repeatedly as doing so, particularly if the burner does not run for 10 minutes or more, risks a dangerous puffback explosion when un-burned fuel in the heater finally ignites - causing a puffback explosion.

Before a catastrophic puffback occurs, make sure you have a Tune Up and or an Inspection of your Heating System.  Sometimes a Chimney or Vent can be clogged, which is a Hazardous issue.

If you see black soot and debris on top of your boiler, furnace, or water heater, or black soot stains in the boiler room, furnace room, or living area, the cause could be a poorly-operating heating system that needs prompt attention, and needs an Inspection and/or a Tune-Up.
