Kerosene Delivery

Kerosene is an oil byproduct used as a fuel and as a heat source. With an increased interest in emergency blackout preparedness, kerosene has become a strong alternative to electric heating. Though kerosene is generally more expensive than wood or coal, a little goes a long way. It can be stored for long periods of time, and a gallon provides the same heat benefits as a large wood pile.

Benefits of using Kerosene

• Power - Kerosene heaters allow an area to be kept warm in the event of a power outage. This makes them invaluable for emergency and disaster preparedness.
  
  
• Fuel - Kerosene heaters use a fuel that is very energy efficient. This allows significant heat to be produced from minimal amounts of fuel, compared with other heating sources such as wood or coal.
  
  
• Zoning - Using a kerosene heater in addition to a typical furnace allows areas to be heated in zones. In zoned heating, one room can be kept warmer without increasing the heat to all other rooms, saving energy and money.
  
  
• Safety - Because kerosene heaters burn very efficiently, they are usually safe for indoor use. As a precaution, a small amount of air ventilation is usually recommended.
  
  
• Expense - Kerosene has been used as a heat source for decades. Because of their simple operation, quality kerosene heaters are typically available at a lower cost than comparable propane or electric units.
