Woodford Oil Company has a fleet of delivery "tank-wagons" to
handle the service needs of all of our customers. We strive to be your
supplier of choice in the home heating by providing delivery of the following
products:
No. 2 Heating Oil
No. 2 Heating Oil is refined from selected crudes
and is carefully blended to produce a high quality fuel. It conforms
to ASTM D-396 Heating Oil specifications and is recommended for use in
all domestic or industrial applications requiring a No. 2 Fuel Oil. This
oil is blended and additized to ensure good storage stability and to
resist rust deposit formation.
No. 1 Heating Oil - Kerosene
Kerosene is a special, highly refined low
sulfur kerosene. This kerosene is recommended for use in all non-flue
connected (ventless) kerosene burner applications and in wick-fed illuminating
lamps. This product meets ASTM D-3699 specifications for 1-K Kerosene
and exceeds those for 2-K Kerosene. It also exceeds ASTM D-396 specifications
for No. 1 Fuel Oil. 1-K Kerosene is naturally stabile and therefore not
additized. It can be stored for long periods of time without degradation
and gum formation and has very low sulfur content, which ensures low
sulfur dioxide emissions. It is required in ventless burners. (Clear
and dyed).
Heating Oil Frequently Asked Questions
How energy efficient is it to heat my home with oil?
Very! The average
oil heat system consumes less fuel than gas, and oil burners produce
the most efficient flame when compared to gas systems. According to
the U.S. Department of Energy, oil heat systems are 16% more efficient
than gas heat systems and 30% more efficient than electric heating systems.
Doesn't oil pollute the environment?
No, a new oil heat system with
a properly serviced burner generates less carbon monoxide than piped
gas and does not contribute significantly to air pollution. One BTU of
gas releases more pollutants into the atmosphere than does one BTU of
oil. In fact, home heating oil burns so cleanly that it is not subject
to any clean air requirements.
Will oil heat keep my home warm enough?
Absolutely! The oil heat flame
quickly burns at 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the reason oil consumers
are much more comfortable in their homes versus those who complain
that their electric heat pump does not provide the comfortable warmth
of oil during those cold days of winter.
Is oil safe?
Unlike gaseous fuels, heating oil will not support a flame
unless the temperature is above 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Even at those
temperatures, there is not enough fuel vapor to cause an explosion.
Is it more expensive to heat with oil than with gas or electric?
As it
so happens, heating with oil is your best buy: oil consumers receive
up to 30% more for their heating dollar than do those who heat with natural
gas or electricity. In fact, when measured in constant dollars, heating
oil prices have actually dropped while natural gas prices have significantly
risen due to pipeline and utility expenses.
