Heating oil is a product of crude oil that has been put through a refining process called distillation. During the process of distillation, hydrocarbons are removed from the crude oil and become a substance that can be further purified and blended to make the heating oil that works in your furnace or boiler.
Heating oil is a safe fuel for heating your Hudson Valley home. Heating oil won’t explode. A lit match can’t ignite it. Heating oil is only combustible when it’s been vaporized by an oil burner at a temperature of at least 140° Fahrenheit.
There have been significant improvements made in heating oil during the past few decades. Modern heating oil systems burn almost 93% cleaner than their predecessors from forty years ago. Modern furnaces and boilers also use roughly 700 fewer gallons per year than their predecessors. That’s better for the environment as well.
Today’s heating oil is more efficient than other methods for heating your home. Heating oil burns up to 20% more efficiently than gas, and it’s 30% more efficient than electricity.
Of all the heating fuels available for residential use, heating oil can warm your home in the shortest amount of time, generating approximately 125,000 BTUs per gallon.
Today’s heating oil is good for your heating system. With proper maintenance, your oil-fired boiler or furnace can last 30 years or more. Low-sulfur heating oil helps your heating system run more cleanly. That means your furnace or boiler will require fewer repairs and last longer.
