What are benefits of using IHO?

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).
