Waste Oil Heating vs. Electric Heating

If you’re tired of the expense and inefficiency of electric heating for your shop, garage or business, waste oil heating could be a very viable option for you. It makes sense especially if you generate your own waste oil. Let’s take a moment to explore the advantages of waste oil heating vs. electric heating.

Waste Oil Heating Can Save You Money

It really can! If you install a Clean Energy Heating Systems waste oil heater in your business, you can take the used petroleum products you’d otherwise need to pay to dispose of and use them to heat your facility. That’s much better than paying the high – and often fluctuating – cost of electric heat.

According to estimated fuel costs in the Mid-Atlantic region in March 2014, you could save $4.82 in electric costs for every gallon of waste oil burned. Read this blog post with examples of ROI for more details about how it compares to not only electric heat, but to other heating methods as well.

Waste Oil Heating is Energy-Efficient

Waste oil furnaces present a clear cost-savings advantage over traditional electric heating methods. When you’re using waste oil efficiently, there’s little or no need to buy other fuel or use other forms of heating as a supplement. The efficiency of electric baseboard, heat pump and forced hot air systems often pale in comparison. It is interesting to note that one gallon of waste oil is comparable to 41.2 kWh of electricity – and that translates to 140,574 BTUs of heat!

The cost savings gained by waste oil heating will clearly deliver a substantial bonus to your business’ bottom line. Plus, buying a Clean Energy Heating Systems waste oil heater can be very affordable with the help of flexible financing plans. Financing your waste oil furnace purchase will allow you to start generating savings right away.

Waste Oil Heating is Eco-Friendly

Even better, waste oil heating has a positive impact on our environment. Using waste oil to create heat ensures the used petroleum products generated by your company are disposed of in a way that meets government regulations and is friendly to the environment. So, you get peace of mind, too.
