Oilheat can cost less.
For 28 of the last 35 years, oil has been less expensive than natural gas. It is still, even at today’s prices, much less than electricity.
Most importantly, advanced equipment technologies have reduced consumption by 40% from 25 years ago. Using less, reduces your total bill and has less impact on the environment.

Oilheat is reliable.
A diversified source of supply is one of heating oil’s strengths. Heating oil refined from crude comes from a wide variety of countries, including Canada, Norway, Scotland, Saudi Arabia, Trinidad and Venezuela with the majority coming from the U.S.. Diesel Fuel is really heating oil, only a bit cleaner with less sulfur. Maine’s heating oil will be the same as diesel in 2018. If we run out of diesel fuel, we have bigger problems than heating.

Oilheat is clean.
The science of heating oil has come a long way—advances in technology and low-sulfur heating oil formulas have reduced particle emissions to near zero levels. In addition, modern oil heating systems in well-insulated homes now allow homeowners to enjoy the same amount of warmth using 40% less fuel—further reducing emissions and lowering heating costs.

Oilheat is safe.
One of the safest heating sources, in fact. Heating oil will not explode, or even burn, unless it is turned into a fine mist. You can actually drop a lighted match into heating oil and the oil will extinguish the flame.

1. Tune-up and programmable thermostat. Each of these can save up to 5% with a small investment
2. Space heating solutions: If a customer is looking to space heat and reduce the use of their central system – we have the answers – either propane, oil and kerosene. Affordable, inexpensive, automatic and virtually maintenance free. (no weekly ash shoveling, loading and storing)
3. Domestic hot water efficiencies – get rid of the coil! Indirects and instant on hot water systems can save bundles of money and provide endless hot water for greater comfort
4. Outdoor reset controls; Why have your boiler always run as if it were 20 below outside? When recognized by automatic controls and sensors, higher outdoor temperatures means your boiler can run more efficiently and use less fuel
5. Replace: If you have an old burner replace it with a retention head burner. If an old system, replace the whole system! Save up to 50% or more with a modern upgrade and enjoy greater comfort while reducing your carbon footprint.
6. We’ve heard it before but if you have not done it already, insulate, caulk, replace old windows and insulate some more.
7. Make sure you use a trusted contractor like Bob’s Cash Fuel. Propane, oil and solid fuels are regulated and require the installer to have a license. Wood and pellet stoves do not require a license. Central heat wood and pellet stoves do. Do your research, compare aggressively, talk with your energy dealer about what they recommend for your house.
8. Did we say 7?  Also ask your contractor like Bob’s Cash Fuel if they have any financing incentives that can assist you with upgrading to new equipment.

   No one knows what the price of any energy fuels will be in the future. For the last 50 years, 70% of Mainers used oil as their primary heat source. They use it not because they are forced to, but because they are frugal and recognized the product with the best value. For 28 of the last 35 years, heating oil has been less expenseive than natural gas. (Source -EIA)  Today, heating oil is unfortunately expensive, Tomorrow, hard to predict.
