Garage Heat?

Great. Since this is a garage, and you likely won't use "all that much" oil, keep abreast of oil treatment. I dearly hope you installed good, easily changeable filters, etc, and should have mentioned that.

I used to HATE servicing oil. One of the worst ones was a lake area summer home that had been turned into a retirement full time home. That was not bad enough. This was an old Lennox. They did a massive remodel of the place, and essentially just about doubled the space of the home by adding a section on the front. This is a two level split on a hill.

They turned the area where the old furnace was located into a Den, and the ONLY ACCESS was into a cavity into a tiny enclosure through a waist level crawl hole behind a hinged book case.

After you were "in there" you had barely room to sit beside the furnace, and curl your body around into the front area.

I finally told the boss after the second year of the remodel that "we would no longer have anyone available." In other words, "call somebody else." I wish ta' ell I'd taken photos.

I've no idea what they planned to do in case of replacement, because there was no way to get the old one out, much less anything else in there. No, it did not meet code. No mechanical inspections!!!! in!!!! the!!!! county!!!!

Like one of these old skuds:
