Commercial energy usage is a huge part of a business budget. This is why it's crucial to make well-informed decisions concerning which types of energy to utilize. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in 2020, the commercial sector consumed around 2 billion gallons of distillate fuel oil. These huge numbers should make it clear to business owners why it's important to use energy efficiently and effectively. Let's look at some of the benefits of using heating oils for commercial applications.

Strong Performance

When it comes to choosing energy sources for commercial use, one of the top priorities guiding your choice must be performance. The way an energy source performs will determine its efficiency and overall cost for you. One of the main energy sources to compare with for industrial and commercial purposes would be steam systems. We've seen that, in various industries, hot oil heating systems have been proven over and over again to outperform steam systems.

Better Efficiency

One of the reasons why many industries continue to use steam systems is simply because that's what has been done for a long time. These industries are missing out on the increased efficiency they could be enjoying simply because they aren't doing the research to learn more about heater oils. Don't get stuck in the past. Learn more about heating oils from your oil supply professionals in your area.

Modernization

If old steam systems have gotten outdated and are ready for an upgrade, a heating oil system is the perfect choice. Many companies don't want to make big changes to structure systems until it's absolutely necessary. Your system aging out is the perfect time to consider new options. Now is the time to start researching other options including heating oil systems. Heating oil systems are easily implemented in factories and industrial facilities.

Easier Maintenance

Any time you consider an improvement to your commercial buildings, you need to consider the maintenance that would be required as well. Maintenance winds up being a huge part of a system's expenses, so it needs to be considered. In our experience, systems that use heating oils have easier and less expensive maintenance than steam systems. That's a huge advantage. Steam systems require expensive water treatment systems that must work in tandem. This can get expensive.

These are just a few things to consider when choosing an energy source for your commercial uses. If you'd like to learn more about heater oils and systems, please contact Santilli Oil Company Inc today. We look forward to helping you decide which energy source to utilize.
