Why Your Heating Oil Is Cleaner and Greener Than Ever

If you have been looking for a cleaner, more eco-friendly way to heat your Rhode Island home but don’t want to convert your existing heating oil-fired furnace or boiler to propane, you’re in luck: starting this summer, all oil heat dealers in New England – including Vaughn – will be delivering Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil (USLSHO) for their customers.

Three benefits of ULSHO Heating Oil

Compared to standard-grade No. 2 heating oil, ULSHO:

• Reduces harmful emissions – ULSHO reduces sulfur dioxide emissions by 99 percent, airborne emissions by 97 percent, and NOx emissions by 30 percent compared to regular heating oil.*
• Improves efficiency – Burning ULSHO produces only 10 percent of the ash and one-fortieth of the soot of standard heating oil.** That means that more heat will stay in your house and less heat will be lost up your chimney.
• Helps equipment last longer – Cleaner fuel also means fewer deposits on heat exchangers, which means longer life and fewer costly breakdowns for your equipment.

Best of all, you will NOT have to modify your existing heating equipment to use ULSHO! In the long term, ULSHO also paves the way for the super-efficient heating systems already being used successfully around the world.
