Many homeowners ask about Bioheat® fuel and whether it’s worth making the switch from traditional heating oil. When the cost is similar, it’s natural to wonder: what’s the real difference? As oil experts for over 49 years, we’re here to clarify.
The biggest difference comes down to how the fuel is made. Bioheat® fuel is a blend of ultra-low-sulfur heating oil and renewable biodiesel derived from sustainable, domestic sources like recycled cooking oils and agricultural byproducts. Traditional heating oil, by contrast, is entirely petroleum-based.
For Genove customers, there’s no switch required—Bioheat® fuel is already blended into the oil you receive. That means you’re automatically benefiting from a cleaner-burning fuel without any changes to your system or delivery.
In fact, Bioheat® works seamlessly with existing oil furnaces and boilers—no upgrades necessary.
Benefits of Bioheat® fuel include:
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Lower sulfur content
- Smoother system operation
- Cleaner equipment with less maintenance
- Reduced friction within your fuel pump (helping extend system life)
- Support for over 60,000 jobs in the U.S
- Cleaner exhaust with less odor
- Greater stability—building on the already safe nature of heating oil
At Genove Oil & Air, we believe Bioheat® fuel represents the future of oil heating—delivering the reliability you trust with the cleaner performance today’s homes demand.
