Oilheat Information
Oilheat Information Did you know that oilheat is less expensive than natural gas in Connecticut?  Here are some other interesting facts about safe, modern, efficient, clean oilheat:

  • Research from the Department of Energy confirms that heating oil, in liquid form, cannot burn. It must reach its flash point temperature of 140 degrees in order to vaporize.

  • Home heating oil burns so cleanly, it is not subject to any Clean Air Act requirements.

  • Thanks to innovative burner technology, virtually all current Oilheat equipment has efficiency ratings higher than 80 percent.

 

  • Oilheat consistently emerges as the better value for Connecticut homeowners, with oilheat consumers saving more than $3,900 over the past 10 years than if they had used natural gas.

  • Upgrading to a new, more efficient oil system can save you 25% in heating and hot water costs.

  • Oil bills are always easy to understand. Fuel usage is measured in familiar gallons.

  • The large number of Oilheat providers gives Connecticut customers a greater comfort choice.

  • With Oilheat, you always have a choice of suppliers whose businesses are privately owned, so maintaining customer satisfaction is a priority.
