What are some of the advantages of oil?
Efficiency
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.
Clean burning
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.
Safety
While all the major sources of heat generation have excellent safety records, equipment malfunctions can occur. With oil, a leak in the supply line will not generate an explosion source. Heating oil is non-explosive. A match dropped into a pool of oil will simply go out. The same cannot be said of propane or natural gas.
Price
Oil remains the best energy value with the lowest cost per BTU of any fuel.
Dependable Supply
Our dealers maintain oil storage facilities to make sure they have the oil when you need it. Most also have multiple wholesale supply sources to ensure uninterrupted distribution. Our dealers also offer automatic delivery options, so you can be assured you will never run out of oil.
