From Superior to Kenosha, oilheat has kept tens of thousands of Wisconsin homes affordably warm and safe for decades.

Thousands of homeowners across the country have taken advantage of heating oil equipment rebates and we think it’s time that you considered getting in on this opportunity while funds remain available.

With proper maintenance, the average furnace can last 15 years or longer. One way to make sure your system reaches its life span and operates efficiently is to perform an easy, do-it-yourself maintenance task—changing or cleaning your furnace’s air filter as often as the manufacturer recommends.

Oil and water can mix—especially when you’re talking about new, oil-powered water heaters. A lot of people use their oil-fired boilers not only to heat their homes, but to produce domestic hot water too, including hot water for sinks, tubs, showers and washing machines.

If you’re tired of spending hundreds of dollars on repairs just to keep your old oilheating system running, you should start researching your options in modern oil furnaces or oil boilers. This is especially important if your heating system is at least 15 years old.

If the rest of your oilheating system has remained in good condition and operates to your satisfaction, there’s still a good chance that the oil burner is out of date. Your heating oil company may be able to retrofit it with a modern, efficient burner.

In our previous blog, we put the focus on how clean, efficient oilheat continues to keep many homes in Wisconsin warm and safe, regardless of the weather.
