Oilheat has just gotten smarter...

Oilheat has just gotten smarter - it's eating its vegetables!

Bioheat - heating oil blended with biodegradable, organic materials such as soybean oil - is one of the "hottest" things happening in home comfort. Renewable and non-toxic, Bioheat is not only kind to Mother Earth; it's kind to heating systems, too.

Bioheat Characteristics:

• Domestically produced, soy-based Bioheat can literally be grown at home - helping to support our nation's farmers and reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
  
• It is extremely clean burning.
  
• It has the highest Btu content of any alternative fuel.

Information on Oilheat

Find a wealth of information about heating with oil at Oil Heat America.

Here are ways in which Oilheat exemplifies safety and dependability:

• It will not burn in a liquid state. In order to light heating oil on fire, you must heat it above 140 degrees, the temperature at which it begins to vaporize.
• There are visible warnings if there is a malfunction. With home heating oil systems, carbon monoxide leaks rarely happen without warning. If an Oilheat system should malfunction, it will release smoke or soot as a visible warning; these serve as early indicators that something is wrong, long before dangerous carbon monoxide can be released into the air.
• It is non-explosive. Heating oil is not explosive.

Go Pats!

Efficient and Clean

Modern oil equipment is typically 83 to 94 % efficient. New oil heat technology also generates heat and hot water faster than older systems with excellent heat transfer throughout your home.

The efficiency of new burners means that oil heat produces very little smoke and combustion discharge. Electric heat may produce no emissions at your home, but the power plants which make the electricity may produce significant amounts of combustion by-products.

Why should I have my oil furnace serviced every year?

In order to maintain efficiency, parts such as nozzle, oil line filter and air filters should be replaced regularly. Motors also need lubrication and controls should be maintained within the manufacturers specifications. An annual tune-up will help you avoid emergency repair calls. It will also lower your fuel costs, as your system will be operating at peak efficiency. Don't wait for your system to fail or become dangerous! Keep it safe to turn up the heat!

Did you know...

Heating oil burns much cleaner than it did even 15 years ago! In fact today’s heating oil burns just as cleanly as natural gas. And like televisions and cars, oil burning equipment has changed a great deal in the past 30 years.

Don't wait for your system to break down!

Cooold air is on its way. This is the time of year when heating systems are pushed to their max. If you haven't had a low-cost, routine tune-up performed on your oil burner system yet, the upcoming cold weather could easily create problems for you. Many home owners in this situation find themselves with no heat or hot water. To avoid costly service calls, and the inconvenience of a cold home and cold showers, schedule a routine yearly tune-up today.
