No, oil heat is very environmentally friendly and here’s why:
- Heating oil is biodegradable.
- Residential oil heat systems are so efficient and emissions so negligible that they are not even regulated by the Federal Clean Air Act (unlike other petroleum products).
- The oil heat industry is working to lower emissions even further. Advances include systems with reduced fuel firing rates and fuel oil with lower sulfur content.
- Oil-fired systems often reach efficiencies of 85% and higher without sacrificing reliability.
- Clean-burning oil heat equipment, when properly installed and maintained, does not produce any odors.
