At Reitz Oil Company, we have always been committed to providing our customers with reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly heating solutions. Today, we are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking test case that brings together the best of both worlds—100% Biodiesel heated homes using Beckett’s innovative B100 certified burner. While we have not yet began delivering Biodiesel blended fuels to our customers, we are exploring the impact in preparation for a potential state mandate. Numerous neighboring states have required blended fuel for over a decade and we see the industry moving in this direction. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of heating with oil when blended with Biodiesel and how it surpasses natural gas as a sustainable heating option.
- Environmental Advantages: Heating with Biodiesel offers numerous environmental benefits over traditional heating fuels like natural gas. Biodiesel, derived from renewable resources such as soybeans or recycled cooking oil, significantly reduces carbon emissions, making it a greener alternative. By blending Biodiesel with heating oil, we can effectively lower our carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: When combined with Beckett’s B100 certified burner, the use of Biodiesel in home heating systems offers exceptional energy efficiency. B100 burners are specifically designed to optimize the combustion process, ensuring efficient and clean fuel consumption. This translates into better energy utilization, increased heating system performance, and ultimately, cost savings for homeowners.
- Versatility and Availability: One of the advantages of heating with oil blended with Biodiesel is its versatility and wide availability. Biodiesel can be easily blended with standard heating oil, enabling homeowners to seamlessly transition to a greener heating option without making significant modifications to their existing systems. Additionally, Biodiesel is produced domestically, reducing our reliance on foreign energy sources and promoting local economic growth.
- Safe and Reliable: Heating oil has a long-standing reputation for safety and reliability, and when blended with Biodiesel, these qualities are further enhanced. Biodiesel possesses a higher flash point than traditional heating oil, making it less flammable and safer to store and handle. Moreover, Biodiesel offers excellent lubrication properties, reducing wear and tear on heating system components, and extending their lifespan.
- Supporting Local Industries: By choosing Biodiesel blended heating oil, homeowners are actively supporting local agricultural and recycling industries. Biodiesel production creates opportunities for farmers and waste management companies, contributing to job creation and economic development within our communities.
We are proud to introduce the use of a 100% Biodiesel heated home with Beckett’s new B100 certified burner. This revolutionary combination allows us to learn how to deliver cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable heating solutions to our customers. By choosing oil blended with Biodiesel, homeowners not only benefit from reduced carbon emissions and enhanced energy efficiency but also support local industries and contribute to a greener future.
