If you’ve experienced a sudden burst of smoke or soot from your heating system, you may have had a puff back. This occurs when unburned fuel ignites in your furnace or boiler, causing a small explosion that sends soot and smoke throughout your home, often resulting in significant damage.
What Causes a Puff Back?
Puff backs typically happen due to:
- A malfunctioning burner or ignition system
- Clogged or leaky fuel lines
- Excessive buildup of oil or gas in the chamber
- Lack of regular maintenance
How to Prevent a Puff Back
The best way to prevent a puff back is with regular heating system maintenance. Make sure to schedule annual inspections, clean your furnace or boiler, and watch for warning signs like unusual rumbling sounds or smoke.
