Laughlin Oil Co. is excited to bring Sequential Bioheat fuel to our customers.
If you are
currently using oil to heat your home, you know how clean and warm oil
heat is. Bioheat is a blend of biodiesel and furnace oil and it
mixes with furnace oil so you can just "change your mind" and
help our environment and our nations farmers.
Bioheat burns cleaner with less air emissions and helps to keep your heater fuel system clean at the same time. Our bioheat fuel is tested to assure that it meets ASTM standards so you can be assured of a quality fuel for warm heat.
You can use bioheat without making any adjustments to your furnace or fuel system. Bioheat is also referred to as B20 biodiesel (a 20% blend of biodiesel and furnace oil). Higher blend ratios of biodiesel may be used in some furnaces, ask us for more information.
Although
none of our customers have experienced any problems using bioheat in their furnaces,
we recommend that a reputable technician inspect
your furnace after a month or two of using biodiesel just to make sure
that biodiesel’s solvency hasn’t loosened up any particles that would
clog the fuel filter.
Consumer Alert! - tax credit-
The 2007 Biofuels Bill signed by the Oregon governor allows a tax credit for consumers purchasing Bioheat (at least B20) for home heating. Individuals are allowed a $.05 /gallon tax credit up to a maximum of $200.
To get more information on switching to bioheat, call Tom at our office - (503) 472-7215 or 1(800) 800-3175. We can help you stay warm and clean this year!
