About Home Heating Oil
- Heating oil is environmentally benign…
It is non-toxic, contains no carcinogens and is biodegradable. 
Efficient . . .
Oil heat equipment has enjoyed significant efficiency advantage over other fuels. In 1978 oilheat was 15% more efficient than gas and 62% more efficient than electric. According to the U.S. Department of Energy & Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association data for equipment sold in 1991, the average annual fuel utilization efficiency was 85% for oil furnaces, 77% for gas furnaces, 62% for heat pumps and 31% for electric.- Clean . . .
Modern Oil burning equipment is one of the cleanest sources of combustion used in North America. New burners release near zero levels of smoke and soot. They are 20-times cleaner than the old non-flame retention burners of the 1960’s. - Environment . . .
Air emissions from oil heat equipment are insignificant! Brookhaven National Laboratory tests to compare oil heat to the average combustion source in the United States indicates that oil heat emits only 1/35 as much particulate, 1/58 as much carbon monoxide, 1/23 as much hydorcarbons, 1/4 as much nitrogen oxide and 1/10 as much sulfur oxide on the average. Total air emissions from all oil burners account for only .04% to .59% of total US emissions. - Price . . .
The average price for natural gas has gone up 37%, propane up 17%, and electricity 32%. And, according to the Department of Energy, the price of gas is expected to increase 31% faster than oil in the next decade.
