Today's Oil Heat is Efficient

Everyone wants to get the best bang for their buck. Oil heat gives you just that because it uses less fuel to produce more heat. That's right, a gallon of home heating oil produces more heat compared to comparable amounts of other fuel sources. That means, in addition to paying a very competitive price on the front end, you also use less fuel to produce more heat. It takes 1.4 therms of natural gas, 1.52 gallons of propane, and 40.6 kwh of electricity to equal the heat content of 1 gallon of heating oil. Add an oil-fired hot water heater to your system and that efficiency is even more impressive. Youâll enjoy unlimited supplies of hot water at a fraction of the cost of a gas or electric water heater.





While oil heat has always been an effective way to heat your home, recent technological advances have made efficiency even more impressive. Oil heat systems achieve a significantly higher efficiency rating than gas, propane, wood, or electricity. Advances such as the high static pressure flame-retention burner, solid-state microprocessor electronic controls, and cleaner burning fuel have resulted in some systems having efficiency ratings that exceed 90%. This means that up to 90% of your home heating dollars go directly to keeping you warm and cozy.
