As summer is winding down, it’s time to start thinking about your heating for the coming winter months. As heating and fuel experts for residential and commercial customers, Monroe Oil has been serving the Greater Rochester, NY area for more than 75 years. They have shared their expertise with their customers through reliable and affordable house heating oil, fuel management, and tank services. Their expertise in the fuel industry and knowledge of fuel prices is why they recommend you use oil, rather than gas, for your heating needs.

Heating costs are almost always a major factor in seasonal heating budgets. Because of this, oil heating is much more beneficial than gas. Here are four reasons Monroe Oil recommends oil heating over gas heating:

• Oil Heat Appliances Last Longer: Heating appliances that use oil last twice as long as natural gas furnaces, when they are properly maintained.
• Heating Oil Gives You More Control: When you use natural gas, you’re limited to a list of providers. Heating oil offers a wider range of options for provider, fuel supply, delivery, and management, all services Monroe Oil is happy to offer.
• Heating Oil Is Better For The Environment: Because it is a clean fuel, heating oil is better for the environment. It produces practically no emissions and burns clean if the heating oil system is maintained properly.
• Heating Oil, In Many Cases, Is Less Expensive Than Natural Gas: Heating fuel prices can play a major role in heating costs. Heating oil in many locations is much cheaper than natural gas. And with a company like Monroe Oil, you’ll always have the best price.

These are just a few reasons heating oil is preferred over natural gas. If you’d like to learn more about why heating oil is the more efficient option, you can call (585) 244-4080 to speak to a Monroe Oil specialist. You can also visit them online to learn more about their heating services.
