What is Standard Kerosene & What Is It Used For?
Kerosene heating oil was once the most used energy source for central heating and lighting. However, due to the rise of gas oil and electricity, off-grid homeowners now use kerosene to power their oil-fired domestic heating systems. Additionally, kerosene serves as a fuel source for jet engines and oil lamps.
Kerosene, also known as 28-second oil, burns faster and hotter than other fuel sources. Therefore, kerosene is an efficient choice for homeowners. What’s more, kerosene is less expensive to produce than other fuels and also produces fewer fumes.
We refer to kerosene as standard kerosene because we now also offer a premium alternative alongside it.
Benefits of standard Kerosene Home Heating Oil
Standard kerosene lasts longer than other oils and comes with a range of other benefits, making it the UK’s most popular heating oil.
Kerosene Offers a Safe Heating Solution
Kerosene has a clean burn and a lower risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The lack of fuel vapour from kerosene means it can’t explode or cause a fire. Therefore, kerosene heating oil is completely safe to use indoors and store in a heating oil tank in your premises.
What’s more, kerosene fuel has a high temperature flash point, which means that the risk of it exploding is almost non-existent. Kerosene also burns much more cleanly than other fuels, creating less harmful C02 emissions.
Kerosene Home Heating Oil is Effective
Kerosene produces more British Thermal Units (BTUs) than other energy sources.
BTUs are the measure of the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of water. This means you can use less kerosene for the same heating output, which in turn, makes it a cheaper energy source.
In fact, kerosene has an efficiency rating of 90%. That’s why kerosene heating oil is a sensible choice if you want to cut down on your oil-fired heating bills.
Kerosene Heating Oil is Reliable & Long Lasting
Kerosene is non corrosive which means you can store it in your heating oil tank for long periods without losing any value. Kerosene lights quickly, which can be handy if you have a power cut. When stored correctly in an oil tank with no cracks or signs of leaking, kerosene can last anywhere between two to five years.
Ultimately, kerosene is a year round reliable heating oil for your home.
