A heating system replacement will bring you big returns! That’s because upgrading to high-efficiency oilheating equipment can drastically cut your annual energy costs while improving your comfort. You will also virtually eliminate high repair bills with an upgrade.
And when you combine a new oilheating system with the fuel of the future—super clean, ultra- low sulfur heating oil, you’ll have a double win.
Emissions from an old system that burns conventional heating oil can be significantly reduced by upgrading to a high-efficiency system that is powered by ultra-low sulfur heating oil. That’s the secret to why today’s oilheat is efficient and emissions are negligible.
Ultra-low sulfur heating oil not only supports more efficient equipment, it also eliminates the source of many equipment breakdowns because it burns so cleanly.
Your local heating oil company can help you choose the best equipment for your needs and your budget—and they’ll show you how to take advantage of great rebates and financing programs that can help you save even more.
Please contact your local heating oil company for more information. Ask about how you can qualify for a $300 rebate when you upgrade your boiler or furnace and a $200 rebate when you replace your heating oil storage tank. Funds for this program through the National Oilheat Research Alliance and the Maine Energy Marketers Association (MEMA) are limited and offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
