If your home has an oil heating system, then you probably already deal with one of many heating oil companies in Quincy MA. These companies deliver fuel to your home when it is needed and fill an existing oil tank that is generally located under your home or just outside your home. These tanks hold 275 US gallons of heating oil which burns at 130,000 BTU/ Gallon.
The boiler that operates the furnace has a specific BTU, so a 100,000 input BTU burner would burn for approximately 260 hours on about 200 gallons of fuel oil. If you were to have your heat on all day long every day, your furnace oil would not last very long. Most home owners have their heat set up to turn off during the times when they are not home and to turn on just before they wake up in the morning and just before they arrive home at night.
The heat produced in an oil furnace system is a warm and cozy, comfortable heat that quickly brings a home to a toasty temperature that can be enjoyed by all of the home’s occupants. The heat is generally quite evenly distributed through a heating system that has a series of ducts and vents that reach into every room of the home to deliver the heat. An oil heating system is an efficient way to heat a home for a lot less money than a lot of other heating systems that are used today.
Most heating oil companies in Quincy MA will set up a regular delivery schedule with a home owner so that they do not have to worry about running out of fuel. Along with regular fuel delivery, it is also a good idea to inquire about a maintenance schedule that can help to ensure that your furnace is operating efficiently and safely. Filters should be changed regularly, vents should be cleaned to remove dust and the system should be checked on an annual basis. When a heating system is working properly, your home is a very comfortable place to live, even during the coolest days of the year.
