Of the 150+ million households across the U.S., around 18 million rely on heating oil as their primary source of heat. Since heating oil is mainly used for space heating, demand is heavily concentrated in the colder months—typically from October through March. The Northeast remains the region most dependent on oil heat.

The price consumers pay for heating oil depends on several factors: crude oil costs, production expenses, distribution and marketing, and the margins of refiners, wholesalers, and dealers.

Cleaner, More Efficient Heating

Modern oil heating systems are more efficient and environmentally friendly than ever. Advanced technology has reduced emissions to near-zero levels, giving homeowners high performance with a lower environmental impact. That means cleaner air and better energy use for your household and community.

Today’s oil heating systems can achieve efficiency ratings of 83% to 94%, and the emissions from residential oil systems are comparable to those of similar-sized natural gas units. In fact, oil burners contribute less than 0.003% of total particulate emissions in the U.S. Heating oil is also safe to store and non-volatile, offering peace of mind along with warmth.
