dirty oil heating fumes

Recommended Posts

We have a new Baxi FB MK3 boiler oil central heating system.  When heating there is a smell of fumes in the house which I initially put down to being 'new'. However I happened to be outside when the boiler fired up and was shocked by the black smoke and strong smell of the exhaust coming from the chimney. We are not familliar with this type of heating but surely this is not right? The weather does not yet justify the boiler being on for more than a few hours at a time and we have set the temp dial on the boiler at 40 degrees which warms the radiators ok.  The flue pipe is double skinned s/s.

Any advice please.

Thanks for the replies.  We have just had the boiler 'seen to' and all now seems to be well, no smells and no smoke. Unfortunately I ( the lady of the house) was not present and the whole house is now covered in black soot! and flue-pipe has not yet been cleaned, I dread to think what sort of mess I am going to return to.
