Heating Oil Benefits
Heating oil is the perfect fuel for homeowners in Susquehanna County, Wyoming County and parts of the Southern Tier of NY for many reasons:
Heating oil is safe.
- It will not burn in a liquid state. In order to light heating oil on fire, you must heat it above 140 degrees, the temperature at which it begins to vaporize. Heating oil does not explode.
- With home heating oil systems, carbon monoxide leaks rarely happen without warning, unlike gas heat systems.
Heating oil is "green."
- It burns cleanly. Today's heating oil burns 95 percent cleaner than in 1970. Low-sulfur products and biofuels, such as those made from soybeans, will further reduce the already near-zero emissions.
- Residential heating oil equipment creates such a negligible amount of emissions that heating oil is not even regulated by the Federal Clean Air Act.
Heating oil is dependable.
- With heating oil, you benefit from having your fuel source safely stored in a tank on your property, with no need to worry about the weather or disruptions in the fuel supply.
- Even during the coldest winter months, there's more than enough heating oil for everyone, thanks to our country's 727-million-barrel Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and the 2-million-barrel Northeast Heating Oil Reserve.
- There are over 50 oil producing countries, and the U.S. is not dependent on any one country or region for its supply.
- Heating oil can be blended with domestically produced, renewable biofuel.
Heating oil is economical.
- On a BTU-for-BTU basis, heating oil has cost less than utility gas in our area for the majority of the past 20 years.
- Hinds Energy offers full-service benefits that add value to every gallon of heating oil we deliver.
Heating oil is efficient.
- Of all heating fuels, heating oil has the hottest flame for satisfying warmth, rapid space and hot water heating.
- Thanks to major advancements being made in heating oil burner technology, some heating oil systems now boast efficiency ratings of over 95 percent!
- Modern heating oil equipment actually burns less fuel. The average annual fuel consumption in 1973 was 1,294 gallons; and now it is only 833 gallons. That's 35 percent less fuel.
