What is Bioheat®?

Date: March 7, 2019

Happy mother and daughter

The oilheat industry continues to undergo a revolution that is significantly improving oilheat’s efficiency and cleanliness, thanks to vast reductions of sulfur levels.

As a result, heating oil today burns more cleanly, with lower emissions. You also benefit from better heating efficiency and easier maintenance, since low-sulfur oil creates fewer deposits on heat exchangers.

This is only the beginning. The future is bright too, as even more highly-refined fuels become more widely available. For example, Bioheat is a blend of regular heating oil and biodiesel made from renewable materials like soybeans and sunflowers. The industry is committed to creating a bright future for its customers, and Bioheat is just one example of their new innovations. Bioheat is 100% made in America and requires no modifications to your existing system.

Key points about clean-burning heating oil

  • Sulfur levels have been reduced dramatically and home heating oil is now considered an ultra-low sulfur fuel. This improves heating system efficiency and cleanliness and reduces air emissions.
  • Bioheat supports more efficient equipment, reduces emissions dramatically and eliminates the source of many equipment breakdowns.
  • Today’s blends, with the greatest percentage of biodiesel, make oilheat one of the cleanest heat sources in the country.

When you combine the new oilheat with other recent technological breakthroughs, it’s a whole new ballgame. Heating oil has never been as clean, or felt so good, or so warm.

Reach out to your heating oil company

As your energy efficiency partner, your heating oil company can give you great advice about how to benefit from the new oilheat. In fact, a recent independent study asked homeowners who they trusted more, their oilheat company or other energy providers. Homeowners chose their oilheat company by a three-to-one margin!

Trust is the basis on which local oilheat dealers operate and our industry is proud to have earned the trust of so many customers.
