Before Oilheat made the lives of millions warm and cozy, homes were heated with coal that was shoveled into a steam boiler. When the oil burner arrived in the 1920s, it was welcomed with open (and shovel-less) arms.Along with being cheaper than coal there were other benefits of heating oil. The large and unsightly coal bin was no longer needed, so homeowners could reclaim their space in the basement. Oilheat provided a more even heat with fewer drafts, which meant fewer health risks. Oil burners were clean - there was no soot seeping through the house to ruin clothes and furniture, and no ashes to haul away. In addition, the homeowner could control the temperature simply by touching the thermostat in the living room. Oilheat was dependable, too - the family could leave the house for weeks and return to find reliable, warm comfort.
As the decades passed, great technological strides made Oilheat more efficient, comfortable and dependable, as well as cleaner, quieter and safer. In addition, Oilheat dealers today offer a "menu" of full-service features - from convenient budget plans to comprehensive service contracts - that add more value to every drop of heating oil delivered.
