Industrial Heating Oil (IHO)
Industrial heating oil (IHO), sometimes referred to as commercial heating oil or Ultra 35 heating oil, is a distinct fuel product derived during the crude oil refining process. Understanding its properties is key to appreciating its value:
- Economic Advantage: One of the primary benefits of industrial heating oil is its cost-effectiveness compared to other heating fuels like gas oil. This can translate to significant savings for businesses with substantial heating demands.
- High Energy Content: IHO possesses a high calorific value, meaning a smaller volume of fuel can generate a significant amount of heat, contributing to operational efficiency.
- Drop-in Alternative: For many existing heating systems designed for light fuel oils, switching to industrial heating oil can be a straightforward process, often requiring no major equipment modifications. It’s designed to be compatible with existing oil-fired heating installations for a seamless transition.
- Cold Weather Performance: Our industrial heating oil is treated to ensure excellent performance even in the colder months, boasting a low pour point to prevent fuel line blockages and ensure consistent operation throughout winter.
- Stable and Long-Lasting: Properly stored, industrial heating oil has a good shelf life, allowing businesses to manage their fuel inventory effectively without concerns about rapid degradation.
- Versatile Applications: The applications for industrial heating oil are diverse, spanning heating large commercial spaces (offices, warehouses), powering industrial processes requiring heat (manufacturing, food processing), and providing essential heating in agricultural settings (poultry farms, greenhouses).
NOTE: Industrial heating oil can only be used for heating applications and not for use in vehicles.
What is Industrial Heating Oil (IHO)?
Industrial Heating Oil (IHO) is a cost-effective substitute for diesel in commercial heating systems. It functions as a direct replacement for boilers and dryers, delivering similar performance at a lower price. IHO is strictly for heating use, not engines.

Types of heating oil.
The primary types of heating oil used are IHO, kerosene and gas oil (also known as 35-second oil or red diesel). Kerosene is typically used for domestic heating in homes, while IHO and gas oil is more common in agricultural and commercial applications, particularly in older boilers.
