Westmore Fuel has been delivering a blend of renewable biodiesel and heating oil since 2009. Our B20 Bioheat Plus® fuel uses a refined, soy-based biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil and agricultural byproducts. In doing so, we’re able to provide our customers with a clean-burning fuel that significantly reduces carbon emissions.
Our home heating fuel is not only a clean alternative to conventional heating oil, our B20 blend produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than natural gas. In the coming years, as the ratio of biodiesel increases, home heating oil will move closer to becoming a carbon-neutral fuel. This and other innovations within the industry will help to keep Bioheat fuel as a leader in America’s energy evolution.
Bioheat fuel requires no modifications to your system and no large expenditure on new equipment. Plus, our efficient and clean-burning Bioheat Plus fuel saves you money on fuel and equipment service. It also burns cleaner than natural gas because it generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Methane—the main part of natural gas—has the capacity to trap so much heat in the atmosphere that over one century, one ton of this gas causes 32 times as much warming as one ton of carbon dioxide.
When the utility companies try to persuade people to convert from oil to natural gas, there’s never much talk about safety. That’s because heating oil with a biofuel mix is the much safer fuel choice.
With heating oil, you can safely store fuel on your property with no reliance on underground pipelines. Heating oil cannot explode—even if you drop a lit match into it. Heating oil is also much safer in the case of a carbon monoxide leak because you will get a warning sign about a malfunction—unlike with natural gas.
When you use natural gas to heat your home, you’re dealing with a utility company. Usually, that means a far-away office where you’re just an account number in their massive database. In contrast, Westmore Fuel is locally owned and locally based. We’re proud to offer safe, reliable heating oil deliveries backed by our friendly, personalized service.
Westmore Fuel provides heating oil and heating oil equipment service to Darien, Greenwich, Stamford, and nearby communities in Connecticut. We also deliver fuel and provide equipment service to New York communities, including New Rochelle, Port Chester, Mount Kisco and White Plains.
Westmore also partners with the National Energy Improvement Fund (NEIF) to provide financing so our customers can take full advantage of the heating oil equipment upgrades we offer.
NEIF provides loan lengths of three, five or 10 years on its EnergyPlus financing for qualifying purchases with NEIF-approved contractors like Westmore Fuel. NEIF does not run credit reports, so your credit will not be affected in any way. Read more about financing through NEIF.
