What is a waste oil burner?
A waste oil burner is a type of furnace that is fueled by used oil (including motor oil, fuel oil, motor oil, hydraulic oil, or transmission fluid) to heat a home or business.
Why burn used motor oil?
There are many benefits of burning used motor oil—some of which you may not even be aware of yet. Most often, these are the biggest benefits a used oil burner can offer businesses that generate waste oil.
Burning motor oil produces free heat
Who doesn’t want free heat? Burning used oil, instead of having it hauled away, is a great way to generate heat for your business and significantly reduce overhead costs. On average, it takes just 18-24 months to pay off your waste oil burner and start generating free heat for your business.

Recycling used oil eliminates the risk of oil spills and contamination
Improper disposal of used oil isn’t only illegal; it’s incredibly damaging to the environment. Even the smallest leak or spill can contaminate entire ecosystems, such as rivers, lakes, and large areas of oceans.
If you deal with used oil, you likely already know just how high-risk disposal can be. With a used oil furnace, you don’t have to worry about the disposal process at all anymore. You just recycle it instead!
Waste oil burners are better for the environment
Waste oil burners are a far better option for the environment than traditional heating systems. Not only do you reduce the risk of spills and contamination, but you also preserve natural gas and fuel oil supplies.
Waste oil burners also meet the requirements set by the EPA to preserve clean air. Additionally, waste oil possesses twice as much energy as coal and far more energy than #2 fuel oil. That kind of energy-efficiency can be vital for the preservation of the environment.
In today’s day and age, going green and protecting the planet is more important than ever before. Waste oil burners are a great way to show your commitment to sustainability and clean energy sources.
