If the time has to come for you to replace the heating oil-powered furnace or boiler in your home, you may find yourself wondering if changing over to an entirely new system is a better and smarter decision than continuing to use a system that relies on heating oil. With all the different heating options that are out there, choosing an option that provides the heat you need without costing an arm and a leg is essential to helping you stay warm and comfortable all winter long.
The good news is that you can likely accomplish this with today’s heating oil. The fuel is far from a thing of the past and it is certainly not out of style. So even though it may be time for you to replace your old heating system with a modern version you can still use the fuel that you have become accustomed to over the years.
The heating oil that is available to purchase today is cleaner and greener than it has ever been. The same goes for the oil heating systems that are made today. These are also more efficient compared to older versions.
Newer versions of heating systems that use heating oil have taken advantage of modern day technology to maximize comfort while decreasing fuel expenses. For example, a lot of modern heating oil equipment is made with advanced controls that provide the luxury of precise fuel usage, meaning they only utilize the necessary amount of fuel to provide heat to a home. This keeps your home warm and comfortable and also optimizes energy consumption.
The improvements and advances that have been made to oil-powered heating equipment help it last longer and use less fuel and unnecessary resources. Today’s systems are smaller and more compact than older versions, are quieter, produce more even and consistent heating and have higher AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings. The boilers and furnaces that are made today actually extract more heat from every gallon of fuel, which helps make them extremely efficient.
Oil heat burns hotter than other home heating fuels do. In fact, it produces up to 40% more heat per gallon than propane does. Additionally, heating systems that are powered with heating oil are able to produce a consistent and powerful supply of heat to a home.
Today’s heating oil has a considerably lower sulfur content than older heating oil did, which helps reduce harmful emissions. Not only does this help make a heating system operate more efficiently, but it also helps prevent breakdowns and can add years onto a heating system.
