WHAT’S IN YOUR HOME THIS WINTER? A VASTLY SUPERIOR FUEL!With the heating season just around the corner, homeowners in New Jersey have reason to feel good about the fuel they’ll be using to heat their homes this winter. That’s because over the last few years, major advancements have trans-formed heating oil into an even cleaner, greener, more efficient and more cost-effective heat source. Here’s what we’re talking about:

ULTRA-LOW-SULFUR FUEL MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE – All of the home heating oil in New Jersey is now ultra-low-sulfur fuel. That means there is virtually no sulfur in the fuel – and it’s the sulfur content that leads to system issues and maintenance problems. Now homeowners can expect fewer maintenance issues and lower costs to run their system!

BIOHEAT® – Bioheat is a blend of ultra-low-sulfur fuel and biofuels, which come from renewable materials like soybeans and recycled cooking oils. Bioheat is a super-clean improve-ment over regular heating oil – it’s even more environmentally friendly and it helps reduce the need for foreign oil. Bioheat can be found in homes all across New Jersey!

We’re excited about what else is in store in the next few years as well. For example, the heating oil industry is conducting research into oil burner technology that could lead to even greater energy efficiency. The oil

burner is the heart of the heating system, and the research being conducted could pave

the way for improvements to burners that would reduce fuel usage by a

significant amount. You should feel very good to know that the industry you rely on to heat your home and keep your family

comfortable in the winter is never asleep, but always working hard to develop newer and better solutions.

UPGRADE YOUR SYSTEM AND SAVE MONEY RIGHT AWAY!If you’re like many homeowners in New Jersey, you might be spending more than you need on your heating bills every year. Older heating equipment is simply not as efficient as today’s new boilers and furnaces. In fact, research has shown that home-owners who install new systems can pretty consis-tently save 20% or more on their fuel bills. In some cases, homeowners could save as much as 40%*, depending on the age of their existing equipment.

REBATES AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU SAVE!

If you’re ready to upgrade your system before the heating season, you can receive up to $700 in rebates for doing so! There are only two rules; your property must be located in New Jersey and the new system you install must meet certain minimum efficiency require-ments. And the best part is that you’ll receive your rebate upfront. No waiting around for weeks!

YOUR WHOLE HOUSE IS AN ENERGY SYSTEMMany homeowners think that their heating system is the only thing to focus on when it comes to saving energy and money. While it’s true that your furnace or boiler is the most important part of your home’s energy output, it’s only part of the equation. That’s why many New Jersey heating oil companies and energy experts subscribe to the concept of the house as a system.

THERE ARE THREE COMPONENTS TO THE HOUSE AS A SYSTEM:

1. The building envelope, which includes roof, walls, windows, doors and foundation

2. The mechanical systems, which include the heating and cooling systems

3. The occupants, their energy usage and energy decisions

Each component contributes to the overall energy efficiency of the house, and there are opportunities to improve efficiency in each area. For example, some of the best ways to reduce energy are to make sure your attic and exposed walls are insulated properly and that your windows and doors are caulked.

a more energy efficient system this winter,

A SMART THERMOSTAT!

MAKING A DIFFERENCE ON THE COLDEST DAYSWe all remember how cold it got last winter, especially at the end of December and the beginning of January. When it gets that cold, heating oil company employees often work 10-, 12-, even 14-hour days to make sure their customers’ homes stay heated. So when you see your favorite delivery driver or service technician this fall or winter, don’t forget to thank them for going the extra mile to keep you safe and warm!
