Q: What type of heating system do I have?
A: There are two types of central heating systems: forced hot water (also known as a boiler) and forced hot air (also known as a furnace). The easiest way to tell which type you have is by the kind of heaters you have in your home. If you have vents, your home is heated by forced hot air or a furnace. If you have baseboard heat or radiators, your home is heated by forced hot water or a boiler.
Q: What is the difference between a ductless mini-split A/C and a central air conditioner?
A: Ductless mini-split units are made up of one outdoor unit and one or more indoor units affixed to interior walls of your home. Central air conditioning systems have one outdoor unit that disperses cool air throughout your home’s central duct system.
Q: What is Bioheat® fuel?
A: Bioheat® fuel is a blend of heating fuel with renewable biodiesel.
Q: What is biodiesel?
A: Biodiesel is a renewable liquid fuel made from otherwise wasted by-products, like soybean oil, inedible corn oil, animal fats, canola oil, and used cooking oil.
Q: How is biodiesel renewable?
A: Biodiesel is a renewable resource because the materials used to make it are agricultural by-products, also known as feedstocks. Made during agricultural production, they are readily available and would otherwise go to waste.
Q: How does Bioheat® fuel compare to traditional heating fuel?
A: The main difference between Bioheat® fuel and traditional heating fuel is that Bioheat® fuel has a percentage of biodiesel in it. Currently, Bioheat® fuel contains blends ranging from 2% biodiesel up to 20% biodiesel. Bioheat® fuel produces significantly fewer emissions and is still affordable for homeowners. Though Bioheat® fuel is different from traditional heating fuel, existing heating systems can use it without expensive conversions.
Q: Is Bioheat® fuel a safe option for my home?
A: Yes, Bioheat® fuel is extremely safe. It is non-toxic and produces significantly fewer emissions than traditional heating fuels, making it safe for your home and the environment. Plus, should there ever be an equipment issue, Bioheat® fuel shows clear warning signs like smoke so that you can quickly alert your heating provider for assistance.
Q: Can I use Bioheat in my existing heating system?
A: Yes–if you have an existing heating system and fuel tank, you can use our Bioheat® fuel.
