Oil Heat Is Still A Great Way To Heat Your Home

Stay warm with fuel from Medway Oil & Propane

It is not at all uncommon for homeowners both here in Eastern Massachusetts and beyond to make changes throughout their homes, especially if they’ve lived in said homes for a long time. This could mean a kitchen remodel, an update to your living room furniture or new tile in your bathroom’s shower. Homeowners who use heating oil to provide heat to their homes may, at one point or another, be asking themselves if switching fuels should be on their list of home updates.

Medway Oil & Propane is here to assure those homeowners that heating oil is still an effective and beneficial way to heat your house. In fact, we are out and about in the community making frequent heating oil deliveries to help people stay warm and comfortable all winter long.

The benefits of using heating oil

Not only can you use heating oil to power your home heating system, also but also doing so even has some distinct advantages. Here is a look at what some of those are:

• A high level of safety: Using heating oil is actually one of the safest ways to heat your home. There are other energy sources and fuels that pose much more of a safety risk compared to heating oil. Natural gas, for example, comes along with an explosion risk, which is something you don’t have to worry about with heating oil.
• Effective heating: Heating oil can get the job done when it comes to heating a home. In fact, heating oil burns significantly hotter than other fuels. It generates about 137,381 British Thermal Units per gallon. You would need about 134 cubic feet of natural gas and about 41 kilowatt hours of electricity to create the same amount of heat that heating oil produces. Thanks to the fact that heating oil is so efficient and effective, a homeowner will need to use less of the fuel to keep his or her home warm and comfortable.
• It’s a clean and green fuel: Heating oil has come a long way and what is being produced today is cleaner, greener and more environmentally friendly than it was years ago. Medway Oil & Propane actually carries ultra-low-sulfur heating oil that is good for both your air quality and your home heating system.
• Dependability: Homeowners who depend on natural gas can find themselves in a tough spot and without any heat if there is ever a utility issue that impacts an entire neighborhood. However, this isn’t a concern with heating oil seeing as every customer has his or her own on-site heating oil tank. In other words, the fuel gives you energy independence and is incredibly reliable.
