Smart heating oil choices can help you save

These days, reducing our carbon footprint is something each of us needs to be thinking about and taking seriously. That’s why Rinker Oil & Propane is proud to contribute to reducing the carbon output of homes in New York and Pennsylvania by delivering an innovative product called Bioheat® fuel to our valued heating oil customers. Read on to learn more about what Rinker Oil and Propane can do for you!

Modern, organic heating oil? Yes.

Bioheat is not your grandparents’ heating oil – in fact, it has greater efficiency and lower emissions than traditional heating oil, so you can feel proud of the difference your choice in fuel is making. Due to its blend of ultra-low-sulfur heating oil (ULSHO) and organic biofuel, it is both better for the environment and more efficient – which ends up saving you money now and in the future. Grandma would be proud!

How Bioheat gets its superpowers

Bioheat isn’t harsh on your equipment or heating system, because it’s made from organic, natural ingredients. In fact, ULSHO contains 15 parts per million (ppm) or less of sulfur, which significantly benefits your system and the planet, helping both live longer! It’s blended with biofuel, a gallon-for-gallon replacement for petroleum-based fuel that’s produced using organic and recycled products like:

• soybean oil
• used cooking oil, like from restaurants
• tallow
• animal fats
• algae

How Bioheat fuel holds up against traditional heating oil

There’s not much competition when you look at how Bioheat fuel stacks up against traditional heating oil. You’ll see that Bioheat can offer you:

• Lowered harmful emissions. Bioheat fuel reduces sulfur oxides, including sulfur dioxide, by 80%, compared with traditional heating oil, and it reduces nitrogen dioxide by 20% to 30%. Those compounds are both contributors to acid rain and respiratory illnesses. Bioheat fuel reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 20% versus heating oil.
• No need for regulation. Bioheat fuel is so clean that heating equipment burning it isn’t regulated by the federal Clean Air Act.
• Better energy efficiency. Additionally, Bioheat fuel — which can be used in standard oil-fired systems with no modifications — has the highest Btu content of any alternative fuel. So, customers that use Bioheat don’t need to burn as much to heat their homes and water.
• Longer equipment lifespan. Want even more bang for your buck? Bioheat fuel leaves fewer deposits on your equipment, which adds to its longevity and helps it run better with fewer repairs.
