We have an old Van Wert oil Furnace,the last two weeks we lost our Hot water,We will get about a min or two off hot water then it goes cold . Anybody have info on helping us repair this problem , A friend of our tells us yrs ago they had to do a procedure called acid bathing the coil and it seemed to work ,we had a tech guy come in from our oil Company and without even pulling out a tool he had told my wife we need a new Furnace which will be 3500 installed? Was at work when he showed up ,so i couldnt ask Him nothing and why he thinks we need a new furnace .THANKS GENTS ,Dont have 3500 at the moment,ANY INFO WOULD HELP

Google Van Wert Oil Furnace. It looks like there is a lot of info available. Contact Van Wert and see if there is a factory authorized repair business near you.
I have no experience with furnace repair what so ever. I have fixed a couple of refriderators by searching appliance repair and following the troubleshooting charts. I do have 25 years experience fixing cars professionally. Do make sure your furnace vent or chimeny is not blocked or restricted. It can potenially cause carbon monoxide poisening or fire. Someone else on this site should have more specific knowledge than I. Post in the Do It Yourself section in General. Good luck and I hope someone can help you and save you some bucks.
