Can I turn off an oil furnace during the warm seasons
I've got a Beach House that uses an oil furnace as heat and a heat pump system for AC. I'm burning oil year round and want to save money. I asked my service man if I could just shut it off and he said that if I did that, the seals would start leaking upon restart. Is this true and what's the cost difference between normal cleaning and replacement of seals and burning 550 gallons of oil during 3 seasons a year just to keep the pipes warm.:confused:
