Environmental Benefits
Oil heat is producing fewer emissions than ever before and burns 95% cleaner today than 25 years ago.
Safer Than Gas
Heating oil does not burn in a liquid state and is non-explosive, unlike natural gas and propane.
Dependable Supply
Oil is a worldwide resource, available in more than 40 countries, which means there is plenty of supply. Using oil rather than natural gas allows you to choose a local, dependable energy provider instead of a large utility company.
Quality Comfort
Heating oil heats your home evenly and consistently, which keeps you warm and comfortable all winter long.
The Economical Choice
You'd need to buy and burn about 40% more natural gas to get the same heating equivalent as heating oil. Oil heat allows you to burn less fuel and save more money on heating costs. Converting to natural gas often costs more than upgrading to a new, energy-efficient oil heating system. According to Money Magazine, "the cost of converting [from fuel oil] would be higher than any potential savings you'd get." You can save up to 30% on your annual energy costs by upgrading your oil boiler when it is 15 years or older.
