Heating Oil vs. Natural Gas Which Is Better for My Home
Homeowners need to decide how they will get heat in their homes. Will they use natural gas or heating oil services? What are the differences between the two, anyway? This video explains the differences between heating oil and natural gas and why you may prefer one over the other for your home.
Gas heat is generally brought to homes through underground pipes connected to a municipal supply. It is the most popular because it is seen as the cheapest and more consistent price. You don’t need to worry about scheduling a delivery of natural gas – it’s already supplied to your home. Gas can be used for heating, running your stove, and other appliances. The heating service should be serviced every two to three years.
Heating oil needs to be serviced every year because of the soot it gives off as it’s being burned. Heating oil is delivered through heating oil services instead of a municipal pipeline. There’s no monthly bill. Instead, you can form a contract with a heating oil company. This gives you the room to shop around for the cheapest price.
