heating oils

Home warmth liquids

Heating oils are petroleum-based fuels used to heat buildings, typically delivered by truck to homes with oil furnaces or boilers.

The term usually refers to No. 2 fuel oil, similar to diesel.

Heating oil prices spike every winter.

In regions with cold winters, particularly the northeastern United States, heating oil remains a common alternative to natural gas.
