As temperatures begin to drop, we all prepare to keep our homes warm for the season. Get the most for your money by considering home heating oil as your source of heat this season.
1. Heating Oil Is Safe
Did you know if you were to drop a match into the oil that heats your home, it would go out? That’s because home heating oil can only be ignited by an advanced burning system in your furnace. Heating oil is also not explosive and has non-fatal fumes unlike some alternatives. An oil heating system also gives you a variety of signs that it has malfunctioned before releasing dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
2. Heating Oil Is Environmentally Friendly
Many homeowners are under the false impression that heating oil has higher emissions or that it is dirtier than natural gas. However, heating oil is clean, safe, and efficient. Heating oil has the highest energy density of all fossil fuels with the most stored energy by volume.Heating oil burns 90% cleaner than it did 40 years ago. This means residential oil makes up only 0.33 percent of total particulate emissions in the U.S. Compared to other heating fuels, heating oil is one of the most environmentally friendly choices available.
3. Heating Oil Is Clean and Dependable
New oil heating systems produce no soot, dirt, or odor and are 95% cleaner than in 1970. You always have the supply you need stored on your own property and you choose how to conserve and use your supply as you need it. With reliable oil companies like us that have a history of uninterrupted service, you get automatic delivery plus local customer service and support to ensure that you’ll never run out of oil.
4. Heating Oil Is Energy-Efficient
Efficiency ratings of modern heating oil appliances are up to 95% and can have an average life expectancy of 30 or more years if they are properly maintained.. Upgrading your heating oil equipment to a more energy-efficient system pays for itself in no time, adds value to your home, and provides heat with greater efficiency. The hot water recovery rate of a heating oil fueled water heater is twice as fast as a gas water heater and three times as fast as an electric water heater.
5. Heating Oil Isn’t Running Out Any Time Soon
There is an abundance of crude oil and world oil reserves that will last for a long time. With over 36 oil-producing countries, the United States is not dependent on any one nation or region for our oil supplies. The United States is the world’s third-largest oil producing country, with almost half of our petroleum coming from domestic resources. Advances in industry technology ensure that oil supplies will remain strong far into the foreseeable future.
