OIL VS. NATURAL GAS

Heating Your Home with Oil

How can you be sure which fuel source is best for the heating needs of your home and family? We'd like to highlight the benefits of heating your home with fuel oil and show you why oil heat remains a trusted fuel source for more than 8 million American households.

Cleaner Than Ever

Producing fewer emissions than ever before, oil heat burns 95% cleaner today than 25 years ago which benefits your home and our environment.

Safer Than Gas Alternatives

Heating oil does not burn in a liquid state and is non-explosive, unlike natural gas and propane, which will give you greater peace of mind that your family is safe when heating with fuel oil.

Dependable Supply and Delivery

Oil is produced worldwide in more than 40 countries which allows for plenty of supply. Not to mention, using oil as opposed to natural gas allows you the freedom of choosing a local, reliable energy provider instead of a large, impersonal utility.

Superior Comfort

Fuel oil heats your home evenly and consistently, keeping you warm and comfortable throughout the coldest of weather.

An Economical Choice

Did you know that you would need to purchase and burn approximately 40% more natural gas to receive the same heating equivalent as heating oil? Heating with oil can allow you to burn less fuel and, therefore, save significantly on your heating costs.

Converting to natural gas will often cost you MORE than upgrading to a new oil heating system.

One of the most respected consumer publications, Money Magazine, has stated that "the cost of converting [from fuel oil] would be higher than any potential savings you'd get". Upgrading your current oil heat equipment can cost half as much as a natural gas conversion. You can save up to 30% annually on your energy costs simply by upgrading your oil boiler if it is 15 years or older!
