OILHEAT IS ECONOMICAL


Oilheat is still a terrific value! While energy prices are up across the board, the price of residential heating oil has actually increased less than many other products since the early 1980s (see chart below). This means Oilheat has had a more consistent price than most of the other products you purchase on a regular basis, year after year.

OILHEAT IS SAFE


Safety is everyone's concern ... and Oilheat offers consumers real peace of mind!
  • Oilheat does not pose a health hazard for you, your family or your property.
  • Heating oil will NOT explode.
  • A match dropped into heating oil will go out as if it were dropped into water.
  • In a liquid state, heating oil will NOT burn.
  • To light on fire, heating oil must be heated above 140°F and vaporized.
  • If there is a burner malfunction, an Oilheat system creates visible smoke before deadly carbon monoxide is produced.
  • With Oilheat, you benefit from having your fuel source safely stored on your property - with no need to worry about the weather or disruptions in the fuel supply. Modern underground storage tanks are designed with corrosion-resistant materials to make them safer and more leak-proof than ever before. And optional tank enclosures provide additional protection for aboveground tanks that can be conveniently located in the garage, basement or next to the home.

OILHEAT IS SECURE AND DEPENDABLE:


Oilheat customers have tremendous petroleum reserves to rely on.
  • There are over 50 oil-producing nations worldwide.
  • Three of the four top oil importers to the U.S. are in the Western Hemisphere (Canada, Mexico and Venezuela).
  • 85% of our nation's oil is refined here in the U.S.
  • The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is the world's largest emergency crude oil stockpile, with a capacity of 727 million barrels of crude oil.
  • The Energy Policy Act of 2005 directs the Secretary of Energy to expand the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to one billion barrels.
  • If it were necessary (assuming a rate of 1 million barrels a day), the Reserve could release oil into the market continuously for nearly two years.
  • The Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve is a 2-million barrel supply of emergency fuel oil for homes and businesses in the northeast United States. Established in 2000, the Heating Oil Reserve acts as an "emergency buffer" that can supplement commercial fuel supplies should the heavily oil-dependent region be hit by a severe heating oil supply disruption.
