Quick facts
- Residential consumption of heating oil in the Hudson Valley region has dropped by hundreds of gallons annually over the past few decades, thanks to industry efforts to install more high-efficiency oilheat equipment, as well as more recent efforts to support the growth of Bioheat® Fuel.
- Retail oilheat dealers play an important role in helping low-income homeowners receive assistance under LIHEAP, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
- Many heating oil customers in the Hudson Valley receive an ultra-low-sulfur heating oil blended with Bioheat® Fuel to create Bioheat® Fuel. The transition to this highly refined fuel has resulted in significantly lower emissions, greater heating efficiency and lower maintenance costs.
