| Why oil heat remains the best choice. |
| Dear Friends, |
| |
Every day there’s something in the news about how natural gas is a clean domestic energy source, but you can’t believe everything you hear or read.
Many people don’t realize that liquefied natural gas, which makes up to 40% of the gas used in this area during the winter, comes from the Middle East. Also, National Grid, which supplies close to a third of New England’s natural gas, is based in Great Britain. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| In terms of the environment, all combustion fuels create greenhouse gas emissions. The emissions from a natural gas burner are about the same as those from a similar-size oil heating system. |
|
| |
| What some people forget to talk about are the strides that have been made in the home heating oil industry. For example, the carbon footprint of home heating oil has been reduced by 40% over the last three decades. |
|
| |
| We believe you’ll benefit from the shift to alternative fuels like biofuel, a blend of conventional heating oil and biodegradable organic materials. A new state law requires the use of cleaner-burning biofuel blends for home heating oil. |
|
| |
| As always, you can count on us for energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions, whether we’re delivering fuel, installing a new heating system or servicing your equipment. |
|
| |
Warmly,
 |

| What would you think if I gave you a “free” system? |
| If your heating system is more than 15 years old, the most powerful step you can take to save energy—and money— is replacing it with a new energy-efficient system. This could save you 30% or more on your annual fuel costs. |
| |
| |
| Let’s do the math. Assume you’ve been using 1,000 gallons of heating oil a year at $3 a gallon on average; that would come out to $3,000 a year to heat your home. A 30% savings from a new system would be $900 a year, or $75 a month. |
| |
| a new heating system is more affordable than you may think The state’s MassSave program offers a rebate of up to $500 and interest-free financing for new energy-efficient heating systems. |
Energy savings of $75/month– MassSave loan payments of $60/month = $15/month NET CASH GAIN for your new system! |
| |
| The loans are for up to $5,000 at 0% for seven years. This means monthly payments as low as $60. If you subtract the $60-a-month loan payment from the $75-a-month savings in heating costs, you get a net cash gain of $15 a month. That’s like getting a free system! Get started by calling us or returning the enclosed card today. These MassSave incentives won’t be around forever! |
