A Perfect Heat

Oilheat. 99.9% Clean, 100% Warm

 

Why do four of five Maine homes depend on oil heat for their comfort? There are lots of reasons.

 

 

Oilheat is affordable.

Over the past 20 years, the average price of oil heat has remained stable. In fact, in real dollars, heating oil has increased by just 13% since 1983—less than 1% per year. And, when you adjust for inflation, the cost of heating with oil is actually less today than it was a decade ago. Moreover, dozens of heating oil dealers in your area want your business, and keep their pricing competitive.

 

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.

 

 

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, and are now 99.9% clean. 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.
