5 Reasons Why Bioheat® Fuel Is an Affordable Renewable Energy

warm and cozy homeGoing green with your home energy can be super confusing until you learn about Bioheat®. Once you do, affordable, renewable energy is just a call away.

  • Cost

One reason people avoid opting for cleaner energy sources is that they think it will be expensive. MyMove.com recommends a variety of different green heating options, including geothermal heat and solar panels.

The upfront cost of either option scares away many consumers. Both require construction on your home and take many years to pay for the initial investment,

With Bioheat®, there is no upfront investment. The heating oil furnace you already have will work perfectly for Bioheat® with no modifications necessary.

  • Bioheat® is Easy

Other heating systems mentioned as good options for going green also require a lot more work from homeowners.

Pellet stoves, for instance, will need to have pellets reloaded daily, or even more, often depending on how warm you want to keep the house. In addition, they require regular cleaning. That means cleaning the ash traps weekly or bi-weekly, and having a chimney sweep out to clean the flue and air flow systems at least annually.

In addition, because they need the pellet hopper filled regularly, they are inefficient or even unusable when you intend to be away from home for an extended period.

Using Bioheat®, on the other hand, is mostly set it and forget it. Just like using conventional heating oil, the only major effort required from the homeowner is to remember to have the fuel tank filled regularly. With our same-day delivery options, even that worry is lessened.

  • Greener Oil

Biofuel is less toxic and better for the environment than traditional heating oil. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “Biodiesel is nontoxic and biodegradable and is produced by combining alcohol with vegetable oil, animal fat, or recycled cooking grease.”

Bioheat® blends traditional heating oil with biodiesel to make it safe for your existing furnace and cleaner than traditional options.

  • Less Waste

When you switch to Bioheat®, you can also feel good about going green by recycling. A large portion of the mixture is created by “blending standard diesel oil and vegetable oils, animal fat, recycled restaurant grease, or even algae oil, materials which restaurants would otherwise discard.”

Waste products are used to heat your home instead of becoming sludge in a landfill somewhere.

Bioheat® is proud to use waste products as fuel instead of food crops. Unlike some ethanol products, corn and soybeans are not taken out of the food chain to make your heating oil.

  • Made in America

Additionally, as two benefits in one, Bioheat® is made in the United States, promoting the nation’s economy, and reducing reliance on oil bought from somewhere else.

When you switch to Bioheat® home heating oil, you also start cleaning up your heating system. Biofuel acts as a solvent, removing the gunk from your oil tank. Removing the gunk can make your heating system more efficient as long as you change the filters as needed.
