It’s Economical

Heating Oil Contains 138,690 BTU’s per gallon

Natural Gas contains 99,000 BTU’s per therm. It takes 1.4 therms to equal the heat content of 1 gallon of heating oil.

It’s Safe

It’s non-explosive. As a liquid, it can’t combine with air to form an explosive mixture.

One of the cleanest combustion sources available.

It’s Clean

Heating oil is a clear, rosy-red liquid that burns very clean.

The Environmental Protection Agency says that modern oil burners are one of the cleanest combustion sources available. It’s a Good Value. Because of Oil Heat’s high BTU content, it costs less per unit of heat produced.
