6 Clues You Might Experience A Puffback
- Combustion Chamber Leak: A puffback can happen when there’s a leak near the chamber. That access point is permitting fuel to build up, making it easier for a potential explosion.
- Chimney or Exhaust Clogs: When either get clogged, combustion gases will build up and not correctly vent from the furnace. That irregular internal pressure eventually causes a puffback.
- Cracked Heat Exchanger: With a damaged heat exchanger, there is a potential for a flame rollout. That is another symptom that prevents the proper venting of combustion gases.
- Repeating Resets: Constantly resetting a furnace manually will build up unburned fuel in the chamber. When the system finally does ignite, it increases the chance of a puffback.
- Fuel Nozzle Damage: When an oil fuel nozzle gets damaged, the fuel stream gets disrupted. Erratic fuel starves the burners from igniting properly and forces the excess oil to build up.
- Burner Misfire: Whenever a burner gets clogged, here again, excess fuel builds up in the combustion chamber. The debris that jammed the burner causes the misfire and a puffback.

Inspecting and diagnosing a furnace begins with turning the system completely off. Doing so avoids any dangerous outcomes and the soot mess it may leave behind. Our Jackson Comfort Services team takes multiple steps to determine if a puffback did occur or a soot explosion.
What they uncover will point to the root cause of the incident. Here is one example of diagnostic steps our team may use:
- Inspect for any fuel leaks near the combustion chamber.
- Check for clogs in the exhaust and flue.
- Examine the burner assembly and oil fuel nozzle for damage.
- Perform a “candle check” of the heat exchanger.
