BioHeat Heating Oil

Bioheat Heating Oil is a cleaner, greener alternative to traditional heating oil, made by blending ultra-low sulfur heating oil with renewable biodiesel. It produces fewer emissions and reduces your home’s environmental impact without sacrificing comfort or performance. Bioheat oil is just as efficient as regular heating oil, but it burns cleaner and helps to reduce your carbon footprint.

In fact Gault has been delivering Bioheat for almost a decade. In fact, almost every gallon of heating fuel delivered in Connecticut is Bioheat with more than 600 companies delivering it locally in the state.

Biodiesel is a heating oil replacement that is produced from a variety of renewable resources, such as plant oils, animal fats, recycled grease, and even algae, making it one of the most sustainable fuels on the planet. As an industry, biodiesel supports approximately 64,000 jobs and $11.42 billion in economic impact.*.

Bioheat Heating Oil offers several advantages:

• Lower emissions: It reduces harmful pollutants like carbon dioxide and sulfur, helping to improve air quality.

• Renewable energy source: The biodiesel used in Bioheat is produced from renewable sources such as vegetable oils and animal fats.

• Energy efficiency: It burns hotter and more efficiently than traditional heating oil, delivering better heating performance and lowering your energy bills. 

• Sustainable choice: By switching to Bioheat, you are supporting a more sustainable energy future and reducing your overall environmental impact.

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your Bioheat Heating Oil system running efficiently and to avoid unexpected breakdowns. We offer Heating Protection Plans that include annual tune-ups, inspections, and priority service to ensure your system operates at peak performance. 

By signing up for one of our protection plans, you can also save money on potential repairs, extend the lifespan of your equipment, and minimize the risk of costly emergency repairs. We also offer similar protection plans for air conditioning systems and generators to keep your entire home running smoothly.

While Bioheat Heating Oil is a renewable fuel, it works just like traditional heating oil in terms of energy output. Because it burns hotter and more efficiently, it can help reduce the amount of fuel needed to heat your home, potentially lowering your overall heating costs. Additionally, using Bioheat contributes to long-term savings by reducing wear and tear on your heating system and improving its efficiency.

Yes! Bioheat is cleaner than natural gas. In a 20 year atmospheric life cycle analysis conducted by Brookhaven National Laboratories, emissions of greenhouse gases from Bioheat blends as low as 1.8% have been proven to be lower than those from natural gas.

The industry is committed to continually improving the product that we deliver; in fact, today’s heating oil burns 95% cleaner than it did 50 years ago and with drastically reduced sulfur content as well as alternative solutions like biodiesel blends, the product will continue to burn cleaner thus cutting greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, if the U.S. followed Connecticut’s lead and switched to a 5% Bioheat blend, the country would burn approximately 187 million gallons less of regular heating oil. If that were a 20% blend, that number quadruples!
