BioHeat Fuel Delivery Service in Prospect, CT

BioHeat Fuel for Homes in Naugatuck, Waterbury and More

Are you looking for a heating fuel that’s friendlier for the environment? Dependable Energy delivers BioHeat® — a heating oil that’s renewable, sustainable, and cleaner-burning. Switching to BioHeat® is easy — Dependable Energy can deliver it right to your home. And you’ll be doing your part to help the environment!

Automatic delivery is based on a degree day system, which is calculated by using the outside temperature along with your usage history to determine when your next delivery should be scheduled. This works best on normal heat and hot water accounts.

If you use propane for something other than heat and hot water, such as a log set or for cooking, your deliveries can be set up on a Julian system. This means it is based on calendar days and not the outside temperature. For this reason, if you find yourself using more than usual you should still check your level and let us know if you need an early delivery.

    What Is BioHeat®?

    BioHeat® is a type of biodiesel that can be used in place of regular heating oil. It is made from a mix of recycled cooking oil and traditional heating oil, and creates fewer emissions than regular heating oil. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from plant and animal oils, so it reduces our dependence on fossil fuels.

    BioHeat® is also less likely to gel in cold weather, making it a dependable choice for winter heating. Even though BioHeat® costs a bit more than regular heating oil, the long-term benefits make it worth the investment.

    Benefits of BioHeat®

    With increasing concerns and tighter regulations over emissions, many people are looking for a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly heating option. That’s where BioHeat® comes in. Some of the benefits of BioHeat® include:

    • Renewable and sustainable
    • Creates fewer emissions than traditional heating oil
    • Less likely to gel in cold weather
    • Lubricates your furnace and other heating systems
    • Burns just like traditional oil does

    See What Our Customers Are Saying

    “I am so very pleased with the service I received from Dependable Energy. I called Dependable in December when we noticed it staying cool in the house. We thought the furnace was broken since we did not hear it kick on. Dependable sent a service tech out and discovered it was a broken thermostat and it was replaced in a half hour.  We could feel the difference pretty quickly. And now that our heating system is working properly,  we believe the thermostat was broken since last winter! Thank you Dependable Energy for our new found warmth!!!”

    -Mary-Anne S.

    “I have been a propane and HVAC air installation/service customer for about a year and a half and am consistently satisfied with Dependable.  Their staff are friendly and knowledgeable and I have never had a concern with them being in or around my home even if I’m not there.  They generally have responded timely even in busy periods such as the dead of winter and after storms. I know there have been instances where another company might have tried to upcharge me for equipment or services I don’t need, but I feel Dependable has always been honest with me regarding what we need.”

    - Joe G.

      Frequently Asked Questions | Dependable Energy
      Frequently Asked Questions
      What is Bioheat fuel oil?
      Bioheat fuel oil is a blend of ultra-low sulfur heating oil (ULSHO) and biodiesel, made from renewable sources such as soybean oil, used cooking oil, or animal fats. It is a cleaner-burning alternative to conventional heating oil and is compatible with all modern oil heating equipment without any modifications.
      Can I use Bioheat in my existing oil heating system?
      Yes. Bioheat fuel is compatible with all existing oil furnaces, boilers, and water heaters without any modifications to your equipment. In fact, Bioheat can actually help keep your heating system cleaner over time because biodiesel has natural solvent properties that reduce sludge buildup in tanks and fuel lines.
      Is Bioheat more expensive than standard heating oil?
      Bioheat pricing varies by blend level and market conditions. In many cases, the price difference compared to standard ultra-low sulfur heating oil is minimal. Given the environmental and equipment benefits, many Connecticut homeowners consider it a worthwhile upgrade. Contact Dependable Energy for current Bioheat pricing in your area.
      What are the environmental benefits of Bioheat?
      Bioheat produces lower carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and sulfur emissions compared to conventional heating oil. Higher-blend Bioheat fuels — such as B20 (20% biodiesel) or B50 — deliver increasingly significant emissions reductions. It is one of the most practical steps a Connecticut homeowner can take to reduce the carbon footprint of home heating.
      Does Dependable Energy deliver Bioheat to my area?
      Yes. Dependable Energy delivers Bioheat fuel oil throughout our service area across Greater Waterbury and surrounding Connecticut towns. Contact our office at (203) 758-5831 or visit our contact page to confirm delivery availability at your address and ask about our current Bioheat blend options.
      Does using Bioheat affect my heating system warranty?
      No. Bioheat blends up to B20 are fully approved and do not void manufacturer warranties on standard oil heating equipment. In fact, many equipment manufacturers explicitly endorse Bioheat use. Ask your Dependable Energy technician during your next service visit if you have specific questions about your equipment and Bioheat compatibility.
      Snowy driveway
      !

      Ice and snow-covered driveways, walkways and paths present a real hazard to oil and propane trucks, along with their drivers. These conditions can make it impossible for us to deliver oil or propane to your home when scheduled.

      Please maintain a 10' wide path in your driveway, clear of ice and snow, for our trucks.

      A path should be cleared to your oil and propane fill location to ensure safe access and uninterrupted delivery service.

      Thank you for your business and for your cooperation!
