Why your heating oil is cleaner and greener than ever

If you have a heating-oil fired furnace or boiler and have been looking for a better, more environmentally friendly way to heat your Massachusetts home, we have good news: starting this summer, all oil heat dealers in New England – including Pioneer – will be delivering Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil (USLSHO) for their customers.

Three benefits of ULSHO Heating Oil

Compared to standard No. 2 heating oil, ULSHO:

• Reduces harmful emissions – ULSHO cuts out 99 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions, 97 percent of airborne emissions, and 30 percent of NOx emissions compared to regular heating oil.*
• Improves efficiency – ULSHO produces 90 percent less ash*and 40 times less soot** than regular heating oil – which means that more heat will stay in your house and less heat will be lost up your chimney.
• Lengthens equipment life – Cleaner fuel also means fewer deposits on heat exchangers, which prolongs the life of your equipment and means fewer costly breakdowns.

Best of all, you can use ULSHO without modifying your existing heating system!
In the long term, ULSHO also paves the way for the super-efficient heating systems already being used with great success outside the US.
