Heating with electricity is very costly, and nearly half of the energy is lost in transmission from the power plant, through the power lines, to your home. Consider Oil Heat for the following benefits:
-
- The most common form of electric heating system is called a heat pump. Heating provided by heat pump is not efficient at low temperatures and requires a back-up resistance heater in cold weather which is very inefficient and costly. At the same time, the average temperature of air coming out of a heat pump is 98 degrees which does not create enough heat to keep you comfortable on a cold day. The average oil heat air temperature is 140 degrees, which guarantees warmth even on the coldest days. Click here to learn more about new highly efficient Oil Heat systems
