Get A Grip On Your Energy Costs With A Waste Oil Heater
With the volatility in energy costs, it can be challenging to know what your business’s heating expenses will be. The costs of natural gas, oil, and electric can fluctuate—sometimes significantly—and that can put a strain on your company’s budget. But if your business generates used petroleum products in its operations, you’re fortunate. You have the option of turning the waste oil (that you’re probably paying to dispose of) into free heat for your facility by converting to a waste oil heater.
Lowering Your Energy Costs With Waste Oil Heating
A Clean Energy Heating Systems waste oil furnace can burn a variety of substances, including used crankcase oil (up to 50 SAE), used hydraulic oil, and used automatic transmission fluid. And if you don’t generate the typical 500 – 700 gallons of used wasted oil annually needed to fully heat your building, you can supplement with #2 heating fuel. You can also get waste oil from brokers at economical prices, as well. Whether you supply all or just a portion of the waste oil to fuel your waste oil furnace, you stand to save a great deal of money.
The savings will vary depending on current energy costs, but the estimates of what you might save for every gallon of free waste oil burned are:
- $5.05 in propane costs
- $4.82 in electric heat costs
- $4.22 in fuel oil costs
- $2.82 in natural gas costs
Of course, the efficiency of your waste oil furnace will affect your savings potential, too. At Clean Energy Heating Systems, we’ve engineered our furnaces to deliver optimal energy efficiency and performance when you burn approved materials (or any combination of them) and properly maintain your equipment.
Waste Oil Heating Saves More Than Just Money
When you turn your waste stream into clean, safe heat using a waste oil furnace, you do the environment a favor, too. You eliminate the risk of the waste oil your business generates harming the environment because it will always be directly and properly disposed of. Plus, you get the peace of mind that you’re complying with the “cradle to grave” regulations enforced by the EPA.
