Why Heating Oil?
High Heat Output
Heating oil delivers significant BTUs (British Thermal Units) per gallon, providing powerful and consistent heat to keep your home cozy even during the coldest Damariscotta winters.
Safety
Modern heating oil is a remarkably safe fuel. It’s not explosive and only ignites when atomized and heated to a high temperature by a specialized burner. Unlike natural gas or propane, there’s no risk of carbon monoxide exposure from the fuel itself if a leak occurs.
Efficiency
Today’s oil furnaces boast high-efficiency ratings, converting nearly all the fuel into comforting heat with minimal waste. Regular maintenance further enhances their efficiency.
Readily Available
As a full-delivery company, Colby & Gale ensures a steady and dependable supply of heating oil directly to your home in Damariscotta and surrounding areas, even in rural locations.
Need a Fill Up?
Why K1?
Low Gel Point:
Kerosene has a much lower gel point (around -40°F) compared to heating oil (around 16°F). This characteristic makes K1 an excellent choice for homes with outdoor fuel tanks, as it resists gelling in extremely cold temperatures, preventing fuel line blockages.
Less Odor & Soot
K1 burns significantly cleaner, producing fewer fumes and virtually no soot. This is especially important for indoor space heaters or monitor heaters where air quality is a priority.
Versatility:
Beyond central heating systems, K1 kerosene is also used in portable indoor kerosene heaters and can serve as a reliable fuel source for various off-grid or emergency applications.
If You Need Heat That Never Freezes
If your fuel tank is outdoors or in an unheated area, standard heating oil can “gel” and clog your lines during a Maine cold snap. K1 Kerosene is specially refined to stay liquid and flow freely in sub-zero temperatures, ensuring your heat stays on while others face emergency repairs. If you want to eliminate the worry of a winter freeze-up, K1 is your most reliable choice.
