Buying a Home with Oil Heat

If you are considering buying a home with oil heat, there are a few things you should know. First and foremost, oil heat is a clean and safe way to heat your home. Contrary to popular belief, oil heat has come a long way since the mid-20th century and is now 95% cleaner than it was in 1970. Additionally, oil does not burn in its liquid state, making it a safe heating option for your home.

Another benefit of oil heat is that the equipment tends to last longer than other heating options. The average lifespan of an oil boiler or furnace is 30 years, meaning you are sure to get a return on your investment before needing to replace it.

Heating oil is also an effective way to heat your home, as it burns 300 degrees hotter than natural gas. This means that oil heating equipment is more powerful than those that use natural gas.

Lastly, it is worth noting that much of today’s heating oil is made in the USA. The industry is shifting toward even cleaner BioBlended Heating Oil, also known as BioHeat, which can be provided 100% in the USA.
