Benefits

Why do homeowners love Oilheat? Because their local, independent Oilheat dealer gives them the most value for their energy dollars, and provides year-round and round-the-clock service. Know the facts, and feel good about Oilheat:

• Full Service: 24/7, 365 days a year, Oilheat dealers assist with purchasing decisions, install new equipment, maintain the home's heating system and deliver the oil to keep Long Island warm and comfortable.

• Convenience and Dependability: There's nothing more convenient or more dependable than Oilheat. Automatic delivery programs ensure your home always has enough oil, and a well-maintained system will provide consistent heat for years.

• Safety: Oilheat does not burn, and a major national study has determined that the chance of a leak from an underground heating oil tank is less than one-quarter of 1%.* In fact, because storage tanks and the oil contained within are not considered threats to the environment, there are no federal or New York laws that require the removal of a properly functioning, active, residential heating oil tank where the fuel is consumed on the premises.

• On-Site Storage: With Oilheat, your fuel is stored on your property. You don't have to worry about the weather, pressure drops in the gas pipeline or broken gas mains. You can even "decorate" the tank with an attractive enclosure to complement your home's décor.

• Choice: There are more than 300 independent Oilheat dealers on Long Island, competing for your business. This guarantees you will find the best possible price and the best possible service from a local business owner whom you can call directly.

• Environmentally Friendly: Oilheat is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and biodegradable. New, Energy Star rated systems have "near-zero" level emissions, and produce more heat with less fuel - in fact, homes today are using approximately 40% less fuel than they did in the 1970s.
