When the temperature drops, will your house be warm and cozy? It’s crucial to be able to rely on your system to keep your family happy, your bills low, and your pipes thawed. But what is the best way to heat your house?

Ike’s Fuel in Douglas, AK, supplies heating oil to families in the Juneau area. They’ve put together a list of five major benefits of home heating oil to help you understand why this method is better than other options.

4 Advantages of Using Home Heating Oil

1. Lower Prices

Heating oil costs less than electric heat. And because oil burns hotter than gas, you’ll need less of it and still be able to keep your entire home warm, meeting your utility budget without turning down the thermostat.

2. Clean Heat

In the past, using oil furnaces meant polluting the air with soot, which is terrible for the environment and those who breathe the air nearby. Today’s heating oil burns much cleaner and is approved by the EPA for creating few negative emissions. 

3. Easy Delivery 

You can call to schedule heating oil deliveries when you need them. Instead of having gallons of potentially unstable natural gas fuel tanks around your home, this method is far more predictable and allows you to have better control over your monthly purchase. You can also special order a tank to suit your heating oil needs and receive price breaks on the overall cost by signing up for a delivery service.

4. No Shortages

Natural gas shortages can happen, as there is often a limited supply available. Heating oil, on the other hand, is abundant and has far less demand, which means you won’t call your delivery service only to find out their resources are depleted, leaving you without fuel.

With home heating oil, you’ll keep your house at a comfortable temperature while sticking to a budget and knowing you’ll always have heat. To schedule your next delivery, call Ike’s Fuel at (907) 364-3420. Don’t forget to ask about their heating oil delivery price breaks and services.
