Smell in my house from the oil burner It does not smell like fuel When you walk in the house it burns your nose and throat but it smells different than oil What could it be is it dangerous?

Yes this can be dangerous. It may be that the heat exchanger of your furnace is cracked and allowing carbon monoxide fumes in your house. Call a tech! Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas, you wouldn't be able to smell it. Install a carbon monoxide detector so you will know.


Fuel Oil furnace blowing fuel oil smell when it starts. Had it cleaned but still doing it. Is the smell or maybe fumes in the house dangerous Are we going to die or explode?

when an oil burner ignites, it pressurizes the combustion chamber for a few seconds. the unburned oil, smoke can force its way into the surrounding fresh air chamber (heat exchanger) that then circulates into the house. A crack or hole in the heat exhanger can be checked by technician. failure of heat exchanger usually requires replacement of unit. telltale signs of heat exchanger failure are dark dirty walls around heating vents. the soot is dirty and smells, but not as dangerous as carbon monoxide. have a competent service tech. check for leakage.
