The fall selling season may have begun to wind down, but when the weather turns cold, oil-heated homes leap into the forefront as an attractive option. (When temperatures drop into the single digits like last winter, people really appreciate the warmth that their oil-heated home delivers).

Why are oil-heated homes so cozy? Heating oil generates nearly 140,000 Btu’s of heat for every gallon burned, warming a home evenly and efficiently. This allows homeowners to enjoy high comfort levels and great value—no matter how cold it gets. If you want to find the warmest homes right now in your territory, chances are good it will be the ones heated with oil.

Address the “dirty fuel” objection and promote safety

Remind your clients that every gallon of heating oil in New York now contains Bioheat®, a combination of ultra-low sulfur heating oil and biodiesel. When used with a technologically advanced oilheating system, this renewable fuel produces near-zero levels of particulate matter during the combustion process. Bioheat® also means greater system efficiency and reduces the source of many system maintenance issues.

Finally, heating oil has always been a remarkably safe fuel and many people choose to use oilheat for exactly this reason!
