If you have oilheat, YOU already KNOW that no other fuel provides the comfort and value that oil does! But did you also know...

Oilheat feels warmer because it is warmer!
Oil heats a home faster than any other type of fuel because its flame burns hotter… more than 600º hotter than natural gas, for instance. It takes almost 50% more natural gas to produce the same amount of heat that heating oil produces. And electric heat pumps?? They don’t even come close to providing the cozy comfort that oilheat does. Click here to compare heating fuels.

Oilheat is Reliable!
Oil heats better than other fuels. That’s why so many home and business owners in America continue to put their trust in oilheat.

The reliability you personally experience with oilheat has a lot to do with the company from whom you purchase your oil. This where the differences between the local oil companies become most apparent, AND, frankly, where Tevis shines above all the rest!

In the 75+ years Tevis has been in business, despite a multitude of adverse market and weather conditions, Tevis has never been unable to meet the needs of its customers… NEVER!  In fact, during exceptionally treacherous winter storms, when other companies have closed up shop and pulled their trucks off the road, Tevis has “manned” its phones 24 x 7, and made emergency fuel deliveries using 4-wheel drive trucks, when necessary. (Our safety record matches our record of customer commitment.)

In addition, Tevis has long-standing relationships with several reputable wholesalers, ensuring that we will always have more than an adequate supply of fuel to meet the needs our customers.

Oilheat is Clean!
Heating oil is non-toxic, biodegradable, contains no carcinogens, and burns as cleanly as natural gas and propane. Technological advances in oilheat have reduced its emissions to such a degree that, in 1996, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency affirmed that oil is one of the cleanest burning fuels in the U.S.

Oilheat is Safe!
Heating oil is one of the safest fuels ever developed. It won't burn in a liquid state. If a lit match were dropped into it, the oil would extinguish the flame, just like water does! To be ignited, oil must be vaporized. This only occurs under pressure at 140°F. Properly set and maintained oil burners produce very low, safe levels of carbon monoxide as a normal part of the combustion process. And if there is ever a malfunction in your heating system, there's little or no need to worry about an explosion or carbon monoxide fumes.

Oilheat Gives You Freedom!
Oilheat gives you the freedom to choose your fuel supplier. If you are dissatisfied with your provider, you have the ability to take your business elsewhere!

Tevis has low customer turn-over. Many of our customers have been with us for 35 years or more.
