ULSHO: Why your heating oil is better than ever!

If you’ve been looking for a cleaner, greener way to heat your heating oil-fired Maine home next winter, we have good news: it’s coming to you.

Starting this summer, all oil heat dealers in New England – including Murray-Heutz – will be required to deliver Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil (USLSHO) for their customers.

What ULSHO means to you

Compared to standard heating oil, ULSHO:

• Burns cleaner – ULSHO cuts 99 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions, 97 percent of airborne emissions, and 30 percent of NOx emissions compared to regular heating oil.*
• Improves heating efficiency – ULSHO produces 90 percent less ash*and 40 times less soot** than regular heating oil – which means it leaves more heat in your house and loses less up your chimney.
• Increases equipment life – Cleaner fuel also means fewer deposits on heat exchangers, which prolongs the life of your equipment and means fewer costly breakdowns.

Best of all, ULSHO requires no modifications to your existing system.
ULSHO also paves the way for super-efficient heating systems, which are already being used with great results outside the US. These systems will only increase the benefits of heating oil for years to come.
