The 3 Benefits of Heating Oil

While we are in the middle of the hot summer, the last thing we’re thinking about is preparing our heating systems for the winter season since it’s still far off. That said, summer is the perfect time to do so since you’re avoiding the winter maintenance rush and the long waiting queues. So why are a lot of homeowners making the switch to oil for their heating units? In today’s post, Burch Oil & Propane, a top HVAC and heating oil company in the area, shares their top three benefits.

It’s Eco-Friendly 

Oil is a non-toxic compound that is biodegradable and contains no carcinogens such as asbestos, nickel, or benzene. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, oil burners are one of the cleanest combustion fuels that leave little-to-no smoke emissions or combustible discharge. An oil burner provides the hottest flames, making it energy-efficient since you don’t have to use as much time and fuel to heat up your home. Furnaces are also cleaner too since an energy-efficient heating system can cut your furnace’s emissions by half. 

It’s Safe

Oil is a non-explosive fuel that won’t burn until it’s set to 140 degrees, so the chances of an accidental ignition are slim to none. It’s also easy to tell if your heating system runs into issues because oil has distinct giveaways such as smoke, odors, and soot. Also, the fuel tanks that the oil is stored in are safe and can last for decades. Coupled with regular inspection and maintenance from your local heating oil contractor, any chances of leaks and malfunctions are immediately reduced.

It’s Convenient

You can store an oil tank within your own property where you can fully control your oil supply. You also don’t have to worry about running out of oil since a full-service heating oil delivery company like Burch Oil & Propane offers automatic deliveries. This means that we’ll deliver a new batch of oil straight to your home once we detect that your fuel levels are running low. Not to mention, we also have a 24/7 team ready to assist you for any of your concerns.

  I was sharing with my son-in-law and his wife an experience I had some years ago with one of your service personnel fixing our air handler. The time and persistence he spent in getting it operating correctly was just awesome. Also, the whole time/parts were covered by the service plan I have on my A/C. …
