Three Myths That Prevent Businesses From Saving Money With Waste Oil Heating
For businesses that routinely generate used oil (like automotive repair shops, car dealerships, farms, rental companies, and others) in their operations, waste oil heating can save a lot of money and eliminate the worries of proper disposal. For example, one of our Clean Energy Heating Systems customers was able to save $32,000 in a single year!
Sadly, however, several common myths have misguided many companies into thinking converting to waste oil heating won’t be the right fit for their businesses. It’s time to put those misconceptions to rest!
Three Myths Business Owners Often Believe About Waste Oil Heating
1. “Our business doesn’t create enough waste oil.” Depending on the size of your facility, the average minimum volume of waste oil you should generate each year to heat your facility is between 500 and 700 gallons. If you fall short of that, all is not lost! You can either buy used oil from a supplier or use #2 heating oil after you run out. And most waste oil heaters will also burn transmission fluid and other petroleum products, even a mixture of various waste oil products.
2. “Waste oil heating creates a lot of smoke and soot.” That simply isn’t true. Waste oil heating does not create more dirt or pollution than furnaces that burn #2 heating oil. In fact, we design our Clean Energy Heating Systems waste oil furnaces to burn exceptionally clean so they have minimal impact on the environment and require minimal cleanout.
3. “The upfront costs are too high to make waste oil heating affordable.” You’ll be relieved to hear that the cost of converting to waste oil heat is quite reasonable—and we think you’ll be impressed by the ROI. At Clean Energy Heating Systems, we make it easy for you to calculate how quickly you can expect to recoup your costs. Just use our convenient ROI calculator.
And have no fears about needing to outlay a lot of cash upfront. We offer interest-free financing options through our partnerships with leading financial institutions. They can help you save money immediately by spreading out your costs for your new waste oil furnace over a number of years. You can even finance your installation and delivery costs.
