7 Reasons to Choose Bioheat® Fuel

In this blog post, we’ll explore 7 top reasons why Bioheat heating fuel is one of the best energy choices for your family, home, and community. 

As energy needs and environmental initiatives continue to grow, many homeowners are exploring cleaner, more sustainable heating options to help do their part for cleaner air. 

Bioheat has become prevalent among Northeastern fuel companies seeking to meet new federal and state emissions standards. Bioheat offers a high-performance, environmentally friendly alternative to ordinary heating fuels. 

Along with its numerous emissions and performance benefits, Bioheat supports America’s farmers and manufacturing jobs.

1. Renewable Energy Source 

Bioheat is made by combining traditional heating oil with Biodiesel. Biodiesel is a renewable energy source made from organic materials like soybean oil, recycled cooking oil, and even animal fats. 

The production of Biodiesel is a sustainable process that supports eco-friendly practices and reduces waste by using that otherwise goes unused. Soybean oil is a by-product of grain processing – they used to dump it!

Bioheat is produced by blending conventional heating oil with Biodiesel which is made from materials that can be replenished and reused – making it an environmental powerhouse. 

By using Bioheat, homeowners reduce reliance on oil, help conserve natural resources, and improve air quality across the world. Seriously. 

With more households transitioning to renewable energy, Bioheat presents an ideal opportunity to take an active step toward improving air quality.

2. Reducing Carbon Emissions

One of the main environmental benefits of Bioheat is its ability to significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels. Bioheat burns cleaner, emitting less carbon dioxide and virtually no sulfur, which contributes to lower greenhouse gas levels and improved air quality. 

Because Bioheat is a renewable energy source made from organic materials, its carbon footprint is substantially less than that of oil or natural gas, making it a preferred option for homeowners. 

Using Bioheat allows households to heat their homes while taking a measurable step toward decreasing harmful emissions.

3. Improved Equipment Efficiency 

Bioheat provides efficient heating superior to traditional heating oil, making it an attractive choice for homeowners looking to get the most out of their energy use. 

Efficiency plays a crucial role in both lowering household energy costs and minimizing your carbon footprint, making Bioheat a powerful option for an energy-efficient home. 

By using Bioheat, your heating system can operate at high efficiency without sacrificing comfort or heat quality. This increased heating efficiency translates to cost savings on heating bills and less energy consumption, benefiting both your home, your wallet, and the environment!

4. Eco-Friendly and Non-Toxic 

Bioheat is non-toxic and biodegradable, which means it poses minimal risk to the environment, soil, and water supplies. Unlike conventional fossil fuels, which have significant ecological impacts if spilled or leaked, Bioheat is a much safer option for storage and transport. This reduces the environmental hazards associated with heating oil while providing the same reliable warmth. 

5. Supports Agriculture and Economy 

Biodiesel production relies on domestic resources which can be sourced from U.S. farmers who grow crops like soybeans or restaurants looking to recycle their cooking oils. 

This strengthens local economies by reducing dependence on foreign oil but also supports local agriculture and economies by leveraging local connections and relationships directly between farmers, small businesses, energy providers, and consumers. 

By choosing to use Bioheat, you directly contribute to the local economy, keeping local dollars locally. 

6. Compatibility with Existing Heating Systems 

One of the most practical benefits of Bioheat is its compatibility with existing oil heat systems. 

This makes it easy for households to transition to a renewable energy source without added hassle or expense. 

With Bioheat, you can continue using your current heating system while making a more environmentally friendly choice –  Bioheat’s increased efficiency adds more life to your heating system! 

7. Fuel Confidence and Supply Assurance

Before Biodiesel, PA’s diesel and heating oil supply relied solely on pipelines moving fuel from east to west. Most Biodiesel is produced in the mid-west and is shipped by train cars to east coast fuel terminals. 

Combine mid-west Biodiesel producers with Pennsylvania’s own Biodiesel producers we can have peace of mind knowing Biodiesel helps make the diesel supply chain more durable because of the separate direction and mode of transportation.   

Conclusion 

Choosing Bioheat means more than just heating your home efficiently—it’s a decision that supports our economy, improves equipment operation, and contributes to a cleaner future. 

With a seamless transition from traditional heating oil Bioheat makes it easy for homeowners to enjoy both financial and air quality benefits.
