Oil
heat is consistent, comfortable, satisfying heat. Learn why so many people
are building with and converting to oil.
Oil heat is efficient.
Oil heat has always been the efficiency leader. You can expect from 83%
to 94% efficiency from a new oil heat system—which means that 85
cents of every dollar you spend goes to heat your home and hot water.
Oil heat is clean.
When properly adjusted and maintained, Oil heat
systems create no observable soot, dirt, or odors in the home. They release
almost no smoke or combustion residue up the chimney.
Oil heat is friendly to the environment.
The environmental impact from using home heating
oil is much lower than the alternatives, especially electric heat and
wood. Emissions from oil burners are insignificant, and heating oil is
not toxic, contains no carcinogens and is biodegradable.
Oil heat lets you choose your supplier.
Oil heat companies are independent, and they compete
aggressively for their customer's loyalty. As an oil heat customer, you
can choose your supplier and experience the oil heat dealer's responsive,
customer-centric style of service. Oil
heat industry surveys have shown that gas and electric utilities tend
to be bureaucratic and less responsive when dealing with customer's needs
and concerns, perhaps because their customers do not have the option of
switching providers.
Oil heat is an excellent investment.
If you are buying a new home, you can assure yourself
a reliable, economical heat supply by choosing a home with a modern oil
heat system. You can also reduce your heating bills by converting your
present home to oil heat, because heating oil prices are typically 2.5
to 5.5 times lower than electricity prices.
You can enjoy considerable savings and the luxury of unlimited hot water
by replacing your electric or gas water heat with an oil powered water
heater system. Other water heaters can store the same amount of hot water,
but none can replenish that supply faster than an oil powered water heater.
If you want an unlimited supply of hot water, only an oil powered water
heater has the muscle to keep up with a busy family's needs.
These conversions and upgrades can often return your investment costs
in one or two years, and continue to provide you handsome tax-free returns
on your investment year after year.
Heating oil supply is reliable and secure.
Oil companies shop for crude oil, the raw material
used to make heating oil, all over the world. With 36 oil-producing countries,
we are not dependent upon any one country or region for our supply. We
enjoy an over-abundance of crude oil, and world oil reserves will last
for a long time. Despite wars, embargoes, political unrest and natural
disasters, oil heat suppliers have always kept their customers warm.
