heating oil
Home warmth source
Heating oil is a petroleum product burned in furnaces to heat buildings, common in the northeastern United States where natural gas infrastructure is less prevalent.
It's similar to diesel fuel and is typically delivered by truck to tanks on residential or commercial properties: We need to schedule a heating oil delivery before winter.
