Bio-Heat FAQs

Benefits of Bio-Heat

Better for your health

  • Bio-Heat reduces particulate emissions that cause respiratory health problems.
  • Bio-Heat is less toxic and less likely to catch fire accidentally.
  • Bio-Heat smells better than fossil heating oil, too!

Better for your heating system

  • The refined soy bean oil in the B-5 blend contains virtually no sulfur, the leading cause of maintenance issues in home heating systems. Using Bio-Heat can increase burner life and reduce maintenance costs.

Better for the environment

  • Bio-Heat produces fewer Sulphur Dioxide (SOx) emissions that cause acid rain.
  • Bio-Heat produces less Carbon Dioxide (CO2) the most common greenhouse gas associated with global climate change.
  • When used in home heating systems, Bio-Heat produces less Nitrous Oxide (NOx), which causes smog.
  • Because Bio-Heat fuel is less toxic and biodegrades more quickly, it is less harmful to the environment if spilled.

Better for the economy

  • Bio-Heat comes from U.S. farms, not other countries or fragile eco-systems. Every gallon of Bio-Heat we use lessens our dependence on imported fuels.
  • Bio-Heat uses renewable fuel products, putting us on a path for a sustainable energy economy, and creating jobs in the U.S.
