Massachusetts winters are known to be cold. And the worse our winters are, the better your heating system needs to be. Not surprisingly, Oilheat systems have long been the choice of homeowners in the area!

For complete home comfort you can always rely on safe, efficient, economical Oilheat. With all the many benefits of Oilheat, it's no wonder that so many people choose it to warm their home. Here are the reasons why Oilheat is the fuel of choice:

1. Oilheat Is Safe: Oilheat will not burn in a liquid state. In order to light heating oil on fire, you must heat it above 140 degrees, the temperature at which it begins to vaporize. Also, if an Oilheat system should malfunction, visible signs such as smoke and soot warn the homeowner.

2. Oilheat Is Economical: When you adjust for inflation, the price of heating oil is actually less than it was in 1980!

3. Oilheat's the Right Price: If you compare the price of Oilheat to the Consumer Price Index - which represents the average prices consumers pay on a wide range of products - from the early 1980s to the present, Oilheat has increased about half as much!

4. Oilheat Is Clean: Compared to the 1970s, today's Oilheat burns 95% cleaner. The Federal Clean Air Act does not regulate emissions produced by residential Oilheat equipment because negligible amounts are created.

5. Oilheat Is Convenient: With heating oil, you have control over your heat. Oilheat customers have their fuel source stored safely in a corrosion-resistant storage tank on their property and do not have to worry about disruptions in their fuel supply.

6. Oilheat Is Efficient: The Oilheat industry is hard at work to create the most improved technological heating equipment. Heating systems now have efficiency ratings of 90% and over! These modern Oilheating systems actually burn less fuel. In 1973 it took 1,294 gallons to heat a home, now it only takes 833 gallons!

7. Oilheat Is Dependable: There are over 50 oil producing countries, and the U.S. is not dependent on any one country or region for its supply. In addition, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in the United States has a capacity of 720 million barrels - the world's largest emergency oil stockpile.

8. Oilheat Is About Choice: Oilheat dealers offer customers a variety of valuable services - automatic delivery, service agreements, budget plans, plus the latest in heating equipment.

9. Oilheat is Kind to the Environment: Oilheat is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and biodegradable; therefore Oilheat storage tanks do not pose a threat to the environment.

• Correct air leaks around windows, doors and electrical outlets.
  
• Get an automatic setback or programmable thermostat, which, when used properly, can shave $100 off your annual energy bills.
  
• Wrap your pipes, to guard against heat loss and prevent them from freezing.
  
• Remove air conditioning window units, or cover them well.
  
• Make sure your ceiling has at least six inches of good thermal insulation.
