The home heating fuel we supply our customers throughout Queens and Long Island isn’t your run-of-the-mill heating oil. Our EcoBlend Bioheat® fuel takes home heating to a new level with cleaner-burning capabilities, improved equipment operation and efficiency, and some additional financial benefits as well!
EcoBlend Bioheat® Oil Is A Cleaner Burning Fuel
EcoBlend Bioheat® Fuel is produced from domestic and renewable resources that are abundantly available in the U.S. It’s also biodegradable, non-toxic, and sulfur-free. What does all that mean? It means using EcoBlend Bioheat® Fuel produces fewer harmful emissions, creating a cleaner environment for everyone!
Improved Heating Equipment Operation & Efficiency
As a cleaner-burning fuel, one of the biggest benefits behind EcoBlend Bioheat® fuel is that it’s virtually sulfur-free. Sulfur is a common cause of buildup or scaling, on heating equipment, which can cause a drop in efficiency and system malfunctions. With fewer sulfur emissions, Hart Home Comfort customers will improve heat output and a reduction in service calls.
No Heating System Modifications Needed
Our EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil can be used in any home’s oil-fired heating system. If you have fuel in your tank from a previous dealer, EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil can be mixed right in without causing any problems with your equipment!
Financial Benefits Of EcoBlend Bioheat® Heating Oil
The more obvious financial benefits behind using EcoBlend Bioheat® home heating oil are the increase in efficiency and the decrease in repairs. However, because EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil contains 20% biofuel, Hart Home Comfort customers are eligible for a New York State tax for each gallon of EcoBlend Bioheat®fuel purchased for the year!

EcoBlend Bioheat® Heating Oil Is Safe
- EcoBlend Bioheat® fuel will not burn in a liquid state. In order to light EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil on fire, you must heat it above 140 degrees, the temperature at which it begins to vaporize.
- There are visible warnings if there is a burner malfunction. With home heating oil systems, carbon monoxide leaks rarely happen without warning. If a burner should malfunction, it will release smoke or soot as a visible warning; these serve as early indicators that something is wrong long before dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can be released into the air.
- EcoBlend Bioheat® fuel is non-explosive. A match dropped into EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil will go out as if it were dropped into water.
EcoBlend Bioheat® Fuel Is “Green”
- Renewable liquid fuel, EcoBlend Bioheat® fuel, burns cleanly. Today’s EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil burns more than 95% cleaner than conventional heating oil did in 1970. Since it burns so cleanly, it comes well within the air pollution standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
- It is kind to the environment. In fact, residential heating oil equipment creates such a negligible amount of emissions that EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil is not even regulated by the Federal Clean Air Act.
- It can be blended with renewable resources. Read more about our clean and green Bioheat® fuel blend, EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil.
Dependable Heating Fuel
- It offers dependable and safe storage. With EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil, you benefit from having your fuel source safely stored in a tank on your property – with no need to worry about the weather or disruptions in the fuel supply.
- There will always be a plentiful supply. Even during the coldest winter months, there’s more than enough heating oil for everyone. In fact, the United States has a Strategic Petroleum Reserve with a capacity of 727 million barrels, the world’s largest emergency oil stockpile, in addition to a one-million-barrel heating oil reserve. There are over 100 oil-producing countries, and the U.S. is not dependent on any one country or region for its supply.*
- You can rely on us! Hart Home Comfort offers dependable, courteous personalized service – with around-the-clock emergency response and a small-town, neighborly feeling that makes us easy to do business with.

EcoBlend Bioheat® Fuel Is Economical
- The price is right. EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil has been the value leader for the majority of the past 20 years.
- Competition keeps prices in check. Competition among local heating oil companies helps to ensure a better value.
EcoBlend Bioheat® Heating Oil Is Efficient
- EcoBlend heating oil is hot! Of all heating fuels, EcoBlend heating oil has the hottest flame – for satisfying warmth, and rapid space and hot water heating.
- EcoBlend requires no modifications to your existing heating oil system. All blends up to B20 (20% biodiesel) have been tested and confirmed to be completely compatible with existing heating oil technology.
- Heating oil systems are super-efficient! Thanks to major advancements being made in oil burner technology, some heating oil systems now boast efficiency ratings of over 95%! Modern heating oil equipment actually burns less fuel. The average annual fuel consumption in 1973 was 1,294 gallons. Today, it is only 833 gallons, that’s 35% less fuel.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil
Your heating oil is better than ever!
In 2010, New York State approved a switch to ultra-low sulfur heating oil (ULSHO), which reduces sulfur content in the fuel by 99%. The law went into effect on July 1, 2012. All EcoBlend Bioheat® fuel contains ultra-low sulfur heating oil.
Additional Benefits Of Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil (ULSHO)
- Heating equipment that runs on ULSHO lasts longer and requires less maintenance.
- Using ULSHO could also increase your heating system’s efficiency. According to the Consumer Energy Council of America, ULSHO reduces emissions by over 70% compared to traditional heating fuel.
- You don’t need to make any modifications to your oil burners, boilers, furnaces, fuel tanks, or any heating system components in order to use ULSHO.
- ULSHO is blendable with renewable, eco-friendly biodiesel to create EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil, the cleanest home heating fuel in the USA. Combine that with the latest advanced oil burners, and you can reduce emissions even further!
In addition to all these benefits, heating oil offers value-added full service – including price protection, service plans, and our Hart Comfort Budget Plan. Click here for more about Hart Home Comfort’s services.
