Could they mean a furnace that runs on 'fuel oil'? I have lived in houses with this type of furnace in the past.

repair those oil burner furnaces are going to be difficult to find. Even when the furnaces were more common, repairs were expensive. I would recommend calling the heating oil supplier to ask for a referral. Next step, try the rental companies that have the construction heaters that use them. They have to fix them as well. I hope you find a solution.

Call Tyler at Lockhart's. He is likely one of the very few that has worked on oil furnaces. He apprenticed and trained under his grandpa, who worked on those types of furnaces for decades!!

Good luck!
