The facts speak for themselves! Rising energy costs are not just limited to oil, but there are many reasons why 9.5 million American homes and families use heating oil over gas to keep comfortable.1

Heating oil is clean and dependable
- Oil heat burns 95% cleaner now than in 1970 and the latest ultra-low sulfur products and biofuels, which we offer, continue to make it even cleaner and greener.
- Residential heating oil equipment is environmentally-friendly and barely creates emissions.
- New oil heat systems don’t create soot, dirt or odors in the home when properly maintained.
- Oil creates 140,000 BTUs of heat per gallon while a gallon equivalent of Natural Gas produces 100,000 BTUs.3
- Approximately 40% more natural gas needs to burn to receive the same heating equivalent as oil.4
Heating oil is more energy efficient
- Oil equipment is 16% more efficient on average than gas equipment.
- New systems boast energy-efficiency ratings from 83%-94%! 5
- Oil heating systems today use 25% less fuel than they did 20 years ago.6
- The hot water recovery rate of an oil-fired water heater is twice as fast as a gas water heater and three times as fast as an electric water heater. And, oil heat provides more efficient residential warmth than gas.
Heating oil is safe
- Inhalation of oil fumes is not fatal — unlike gas, which is known as “the silent killer” and is the leading cause of death from carbon monoxide poisoning in the U.S.7
