If you’ve been looking for a cleaner, greener way to heat your oil-fired Connecticut home this heating season, we have good news: the answer is already in your tank.

As of July of this year, all fuel oil delivered in Connecticut is required to be ultra-low sulfur heating oil (ULSHO) with a sulfur content standard of 15 ppm (parts per million) – down from the 500 ppm mandate established in 2014 (it was 3,000 ppm before that).

The question is, what does that mean for you?

Well, in one sense, it means nothing – as in, you don’t have to make any modifications to your heating system to enjoy ULSHO benefits, other than refill your tank.

But in another sense, the switch to 15ppm ULSHO means a lot – especially when it comes to saving money and protecting the planet. Compared to old school heating oil, today’s ULSHO:

This new mandate for ULSHO makes heating oil a cleaner option than natural gas – and it will continue to get cleaner as more advancements are made.
