How energy efficient is it to heat
my home with oil?
Very Efficient! The average oil heat system consumes less fuel
than gas, and oil burners produce the most efficient flame when compared
to gas systems. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, oil
heat systems are 16% more efficient than gas heat systems and 30% more
efficient than electric heating systems.

Will oil heat keep my home warm
enough?
Absolutely! The oil heat flame quickly burns at 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
This is the reason oil consumers are much more comfortable in their
homes versus those who complain that their electric heat pump does not
provide the comfortable warmth of oil during those cold days of winter.
