Electric To Oil Conversion

Switching to oil heat can save you thousands of dollars a year in energy bills. It also raises the average temperature of heated air in your home 30°F, providing more heat for less money. Converting your current system is not complicated; if you have a heat pump, a boiler can easily supplement it and provide !>

Electric baseboards and radiators can be replaced to accommodate a new hydronic (hot water based) system, or you can install a forced air system that also supplies air conditioning. Converting to oil heat will not harm your present air conditioning method. Making the switch will save in energy costs because oil has a higher BTU (British Thermal Unit) rate than electricity, so heating your home requires less fuel. Also, converting your water heater drastically increases the amount of hot water available in much less time. The cost of converting your home heating system will be returned in savings; many homeowners find that the amount they save each month covers the loan payments from the conversion.

While electric heat emits little pollution on site, the plants that generate electricity discard particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and soot into the atmosphere, causing health and environmental damage. Oil heat is much cleaner and environmentally friendly than it was 25 years ago. Using oil at home produces virtually no detectable emissions, and switching from electric heat reduces the average home’s carbon dioxide emissions (gas that contributes to harmful global warming) by 50%! Oil heat is also safe for your family. At sitting temperature, liquid oil will extinguish a lit match – it is non-explosive. Proper containment and maintenance will prevent leaks and detect them before they become a major problem – see our TankSure Program.

Most electric heat providers are large corporations with lavish marketing campaigns, designed to convince consumers of the advantages of electric heat when it is actually more expensive and less efficient than oil heat. Since many home fuel oil businesses are small and locally owned, they compete with one another in pricing and service, so you are sure to receive excellent care from your oil heat company. In the United States, there have been 130,000 customer conversions from electric to oil heat since 1991, and now over 9.5 million homes and small businesses operate with oil heat (Oil Heat Institute of Eastern New York).
