Homeowners nowadays have many options to choose from when it comes to home heating. There’s home fuel oil of course, and natural gas, propane, electric heat…which one is the best for your home? There are advantages to all of them, but if you’re considering a home with oil heat, or weighing the options for a new furnace installation or replacement, here’s some of the advantages to using home fuel oil to keep your home cozy and warm.
Why Home fuel oil is Important
Heating your home with home fuel oil is the safest and the most economical way to heat your home. There are a couple advantages you gain for choosing home fuel oil over other forms of home heating like electricity and natural gas. Heating oil prices are 2.5 to 5.5 times lower than electricity. Converting from gas to oil heat can substantially reduce energy costs as older gas heaters frequently operate at less than 70% efficiency.
