If you recently moved into a house with a home furnace or are just looking for a better oil heating option to keep you warm during the winter months, your friends at Best Oil in Waterbury, CT, are here to help you out. 

Before choosing a heating oil, it's a smart idea to first get acquainted with the different types. Typically there are two different oils that are used for home heating. Those two oils are kerosene (also known as paraffin, 28-Second Heating Oil, or simply home heating oil) and diesel fuel, also known as 35-Second Heating Oil. Both are good choices for oil heating, but they have a few key differences. Kerosene is more refined and burns slightly cleaner than diesel fuel. Kerosene is also the most widely used in modern homes of the two, and it tends to do better during cold winter months if your furnace is outside since it doesn't gel as quickly. The only downside is that because kerosene is the more refined fuel, it also tends to be more expensive than the alternatives.

Diesel, on the other hand, while not burning quite as clean, is more affordable and may work better for older furnaces. While kerosene is a clear winner in most scenarios, diesel actually doesn't perform that much worse, making it an excellent alternative. 

Best Oil offers both kerosene and diesel for your home furnace needs. If you'd like to work with one of the most knowledgeable fuel companies out there to help meet your home heating needs, give them a call at (203) 574-4050 or visit their website.
