Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is your preferred heating company in Crystal MN. We have a full range of Lennox furnaces, including oil units.
Overview
Oil is an environment-friendly way to heat your home. It’s non-toxic, as it is biodegradable and contains no carcinogens. The Environmental Protection Agency states that oil burners are some of the cleanest combustion sources. Brand-new oil burners offer almost zero emissions of smoke or combustible matter.
Oil furnaces are energy-efficient. They provide the hottest flames. They heat a home faster and use less fuel to perform their task. Compared to other furnaces, oil burners release more heat per energy unit.
In terms of safety, oil is non-explosive and won’t burn unless it is preheated to 140 degrees. Therefore there are very few chances of the fuel ever igniting. The tank has no threat to your family’s health or the environment, and they are built to last for decades. You can store your oil tank on your own property, giving you control over your fuel supply.
These are just some of the benefits of using an oil furnace. Now let’s look at the features of one of the units in the Lennox line of oil heating systems.
