Answer

There are several steps involved. The following is the list of what should be done....BY A PROFESSIONAL. There are licenses for a reason so you should not try this at home. Oil burners emit fire and therefore cause then as well.

The Oil Heat Professional SHOULD:

1. Replace the burner nozzle with the correct size.
2. Clean the electrodes and replace them if they are worn.
3. Clean the soot from the combustion area. (With a special vaccuum)
4. Put in a new oil filter on the tank.
5. Adjust the fuel/air mixture for optimum burn.
6. Take a combustion reading for temerature, and CO2 for overall efficiency and safety.

You should calculate the efficiency using a combusion meter or calculate it via the flue gas temperature.

A high-end professional clean/tune up should also include a CO2 check and a pressure check of the oil flow to the burner.

Price range is $150 to $250 if the "optional" steps are done or not. Note a service contract cleaning generally includes 1-5, except may not including new electrodes.

There are videos for DIYers, but it's a messy job, and should be done correctly to ensure a safe, clean system. Probably best left to a professional HVAC tech.

What is the correct oil burner nozzle on a ABC model P-712?

That depends on what the burner is installed in. One particular burner can be used on a multitude of boilers/furnaces simply by changing the nozzle to regulate both gph and flame pattern to suit the application. Contact the boiler/furnace mfr or check the installation/operation manual for the boiler/furnace for help. Lastly if that is of no help or not possible a good oil burner mechanic could help you out once he sees your entire application.
