Bioheat
At HB Fuels we are committed to providing our customer and community with proven environmentally responsible products and services. HB Fuels is pleased to announce that we have added Bioheat to our product line. HB Fuels was one of the first companies in the state of Vermont to offer a low sulfur heating fuel and continues to lead the way by offering Bioheat as a more responsible heating product.
Bioheat is a blend of standard heating oil and Biofuel. Biofuel is made from vegetable oils such as soybeans and canola. This blended fuel is compatible with all equipment currently using #2 heating oil. Bioheat offers many benefits, including:
- a reduction in the amount of soot created, helping to produce higher effeciencies
- a reduction in the release of greenhouse gasses, contributing to a cleaner environment
- a reduction in the need for imported fuels, allowing for domestically-produced options
Our commitment to the environment carries through to our fleet of service vans, delivery trucks and septic service trucks. The majority of our vehicles run on Biodiesel. The switch from gasoline powered service vans to Biodiesel powered vans has raised our van fleet average from 9 MPG to over 20 MPG. The use of Biodiesel has allowed us to reduce the amount of foreign oil we consume, while promoting and supporting the American farmer.
HB Fuels delivers #2 home heating oil and Biofuel for your heating needs. We offer automatic and 'will call' delivery. When you choose automatic delivery we monitor your usage and deliver automatically based on a program of usage and degree days. We also offer will call delivery in which you monitor your tank and call us when you are ready for a delivery.
HB Fuels offers fixed price programs to make heating your home as affordable as possible. Through prebuy and budget programs our customers have saved substantially over the years on their heating expenses.
