Why Choose a Waste Oil Boiler Over a Traditional Model
Cost of Operation
Cost efficiency is a primary concern for any operation. Traditional boilers commonly use natural gas, propane, or heating oil, all of which fluctuate in price. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, heating oil prices can range from $3.50 to $4.50 per gallon and propane from about $2.50-$2.75 per gallon. Meanwhile, natural gas may vary depending on regional supply and demand.
A waste oil heating system stands out as a game changer when it comes to controlling operating costs. Since businesses like dealerships and industrial warehouses typically produce used oil as part of their operations, they can effectively eliminate heating oil expenses after the initial installation of the system. This means that instead of relying on fluctuating fuel prices, companies can utilize their own waste oil for heating, resulting in substantial savings. By making the switch to waste oil heating, businesses not only benefit from a more sustainable solution but can also redirect those funds into other areas of operation, allowing for greater financial freedom and growth.
Efficiency Levels
Regarding efficiency, traditional boilers typically have varying efficiency ratings, and a portion of the energy they produce can go to waste. Waste oil heaters, however, can attain up to 85% efficiency. This translates to more heat for the same amount of input, maximizing every single drop of fuel. Additionally, some waste oil systems feature advanced technology that allows for precise adjustments in combustion settings, further enhancing their heating efficiency.
Maintenance and Upkeep
Traditional boilers are often more complex, featuring intricate parts such as heat exchangers and pressure valves. These components require careful inspections and can lead to significant downtime if repairs become necessary. Routine maintenance tasks may include checking system pressure, ensuring proper combustion, and cleaning the heat exchanger.
Waste oil heating systems typically feature fewer moving parts and a more straightforward design. This simplicity allows for less demanding and less frequent maintenance tasks. Plus, Interstate Energy offers professional maintenance and support, ensuring that waste oil boilers are kept in top shape without any extra hassle for the boiler owners.
Space Considerations
Physical space can be an often-overlooked aspect when selecting a heating system. Traditional boilers usually require a lot of room for fuel storage and may need extensive piping and venting systems, which can complicate installations and take up valuable floor space.
On the other hand, waste oil heaters are typically more compact, allowing them to fit into tighter spaces—a crucial advantage for smaller facilities aiming to optimize their layout. This space efficiency enables the seamless integration of essential workstations without compromising heating solutions. Clean Burn has a range of boiler models from the CTB-200 to the CTB-500, to meet your heating needs while still remaining compact.
