In New Hampshire<\/a>, heating oil is a fact of life: seeing common use as a way to combat our notoriously cold winters. In the United States, the standard heating oil<\/a> is known as No. 2 oil, or regular fuel oils. It\u2019s used as the standard in most homes, and has replace a number of older oils because it burns more cleanly than they did. (Those older types \u2013 known as #6 oil and #4 oil \u2013 are still used in commercial power plants and other industrial capacities.) #2 oil is also preferable as a fuel because it\u2019s comparatively hard to set on fire accidentally, requiring a high-voltage spark and oil set at the right pressure.<\/p>\n

You might also see #1 oil, also called K1 kerosene which is essentially filtered kerosene. It\u2019s not as efficient as #2 oil, but is more refined and has a lower pour point. It\u2019s often sold as lamp oil in high-end shops, though it rarely sees use in oil furnaces. Instead, home heating oil sometimes appears as a \u201ckerosene mix,\u201d which is a combination of #1 and #2 oil (usually with about 10-20% #1 mixed with 80-90% #2). It will function in your heating system, though it may not burn as efficiently.<\/p>\n

Recently, another option has raised its heat. Biofuel<\/a> \u2013 created from vegetable oils such as soybean oil \u2013 can be blended with #2 oil or even used straight. It burns efficiently while reducing greenhouse gasses and can be produced in the United States without being exported from somewhere else.<\/p>\n
