About Home Heating Oil and Its Functions
Home heating oil, also known as furnace oil, is a derivative of crude oil obtained through the distillation of petroleum. Primarily utilized in heating applications, it's commonly used in central heating systems found in residential spaces.
​
This fuel was initially called "home heating oil" due to its early applications in lanterns and stoves, but it was initially limited to domestic use. However, it evolved to accommodate industrial needs, classifying it into gas oil (or red diesel) for commercial and agricultural heating and kerosene, a milder form commonly used for residential heating.
​
Understanding how heating oil functions in heating systems is vital. In furnaces, heating oil is heated within the chamber, and warming air is distributed evenly throughout the house via ductwork. Conversely, boilers use heating oil to heat water, generating steam that flows through pipes into radiators, ultimately warming rooms.
How to Best Use Home Heating Oil?
Maximizing the efficiency of heating oil usage relies on several factors, such as the number of occupied rooms, outdoor temperatures, thermostat settings, and managing doors and drafts. Prioritizing occupied spaces, adjusting thermostat settings in sync with outdoor conditions, and minimizing heat loss by sealing drafts can notably conserve heating oil and energy. Regular boiler maintenance ensures optimal performance and fuel consumption.
By considering these factors and adopting energy-conscious practices, you can effectively utilize heating oil to economize expenses and reduce energy consumption.
