1. Oil Heat Is Safe!
Home heating oil can only be ignited by an advanced burning system in your oil-burner or furnace. If you drop a match into the oil that heats your home it will go out, as if dropped into water!
Unlike natural gas, fuel oil is not explosive and inhalation of fuel oil fumes is not fatal. The possibility of carbon monoxide entering the home from an oil burner is very low. If you have a system malfunction, an oil-heating system provides clear signs such as smoke, odors or even soot before releasing dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Gas heating systems give you no warning of carbon monoxide production or release.
2. Oil Heat Is Environmentally Friendly
Over the past 20 years the sulfur content of heating oil has been reduced from over 1% to as low as 0.5% – a reduction of over 93%*, which has done a lot to combat air pollution. Clearburn Science has reduced oil burner emissions to near zero levels, reducing emissions by 95%.* In a 2004 issue of Oil & Energy, it was reported that.....
