Are you considering upgrading your home’s heating system?
If so, you may be enticed to convert to natural gas heating if it’s available in your neighborhood. You may also hear outdated opinions about how “clean” natural gas is and how “dirty” heating oil is.
But before going any further, let’s set the record straight.
Today’s heating oil is NOT what it was a generation or two ago. Technological advances have made heating oil cleaner-burning, more energy-efficient, and more environmentally friendly by great strides.
The heating oil industry has even set a goal to be carbon neutral by the year 2050. One way the industry is working towards that goal is by the introduction of heating oil/biodiesel blends known as Bioheat®. Biodiesels are made from renewable resources like plant oils, recycled restaurant cooking oils, and greases, and algae. Depending on how much of the Bioheat® blend is made up of biodiesels, Bioheat® can burn even cleaner than natural gas!
Even without biodiesels, today’s heating oil is not your dad’s heating oil. Today’s heating oil is ultra-low sulfur heating oil, reducing particulate emissions by 99% and nitrous oxide emissions by 30% versus the fuel used 30-years ago.
On a cold winter’s day, you want to get warm fast when you come home. For that, heating oil leaves natural gas in the dust. No energy source gets your home warm and comfortable faster than heating oil.
It should also be noted that:
