An Introduction to Bioheat Plus® Fuel

What is Bioheat fuel? It is a domestically produced fuel that’s the product of a blend of ultra-low-sulfur heating oil and renewable biodiesel. Renewable biodiesel is made from organic and recycled products, such as used cooking oil, inedible corn oil, soybean oil, canola, tallow, fats, and algae. There are different tiers of Bioheat Plus® fuel. The difference between each one is how much biodiesel is blended in.

One great thing about Bioheat Plus® fuel is that it doesn’t require any changes to be made to furnaces, boilers, or storage tanks. It’s perfectly compatible with the heating system you already have. And if you have one of the latest compact and highly efficient boilers or furnaces in your home, you’ll be glad to know that in addition to drastically increasing the fuel efficiency of your home and reducing consumption, it will work especially well with Bioheat Plus® fuel.

Benefits of Bioheat Plus® Fuel

There are a lot of reasons to feel good about using Bioheat Plus® fuel in your home. First of all, it’s safe. It has been approved by ASTM International. That’s the agency that sets industry standards for fuels and lubricants. Furthermore, Bioheat Plus® fuel offers several advantages over traditional heating oil and several other fuels.

Here are some of the meaningful benefits Bioheat Plus® fuel offers over traditional heating oil and many other fuels:

• Bioheat Plus® fuel burns more cleanly than regular heating oil. Because of this, Bioheat Plus® fuel produces fewer emissions. The goal of our industry is to become carbon neutral in the coming years. As more and more home heating companies do as we’ve done at Brideau and make the transition to Bioheat Plus® fuel, it will lead to a further reduction in heating oil’s carbon footprint.
• Heating systems that use Bioheat Plus® fuel versus traditional heating oil operate more efficiently. That saves you money on fuel costs because a system that operates more efficiently will use less fuel.
• Heating systems that use Bioheat Plus® fuel versus traditional heating oil need fewer repairs and last longer because of how much more cleanly Bioheat Plus® fuel burns.
