Browse oil burner motors at F.W. Webb and find mechanisms that aid in the intended operation of your heating system. A furnace motor activates and runs the fan and oil pump within your unit through air intake slots. Use a split capacitor motor for a high-efficiency option that does not require a centrifugal switch to operate. Refine your search with our convenient filter tool; sort by amperage, horsepower, rotation, and voltage to find the right motor for the job. Explore high-quality motors for your oil burner from Marathon, Carlin, and other trusted manufacturers.
