    Beckett Model AFG Oil Burner Very Loud + some More!
    Dear Reader from Ask Me:

    I have a Oil Heating system almost 10 year old with a Beckett Oil Burner. It has been very loud from the day One.

    RWB -Beckett Model AFG .

    I am wondering if a new Burner would be any quiter?
    Another problem I have is it starts works for a while stops and all of a sudden restarts for one or 2 seconds and then stops again.

    If it will start after stopping why would it start? Is there 2 sets of controls on this I wonder?

    The unit is with a Hot water coil in it and heats the 1 family house with water not steam system.

    Can anyone e mail me some tips how to make this system quiter please? My e mail is [email protected]

    I bet I will be getting tons of e mails.

    I don't mind the e mails hope we can get to the bottom of this.

    Beckett I am told a very good company would they replace the burner I wonder? (Meaning just the head- blower motor?).

    Thank you kindly

    Levon

    PS Changing the motor might cost $300.00 I am not sure if it will be any quiter?

    Does Grainger carry these replacemant units?

    Kindly post the full model number and make of your boiler. There is very specific operation specs. For all boilers / Beckett burners. I can check the Beckett reference book to see how this oil burner needs to be set up... such as pump pressure, air settings, nozzle specs. etc. etc. You need to start here first to evaluate the operation of the Beckett burner, and be sure it is to the proper operation specs... prior to evaluating the noise issue... which can be caused by many things and / or adjustments etc.

    NO way the warranty has been over for years.

    Oil burners can be very tricky to work on and you need special tools to check pump pressure etc. You would be best served to call a pro.You might think you are saving money by do it yourself but that is false thinking. A professional tune up will save you $$$$ in oil bills
