Installations & Upgrades
The easiest way to reduce your carbon footprint and curb your greenhouse gas emissions is to improve the efficiency of your heating system. Today's heating systems typically reduce energy consumption by about 30 percent. When you upgrade, you burn a lot less fuel, so you not only save money, you reduce your emissions and contribute to a reduction in demand for foreign oil and gas.
Discount Oil specializes in installation of high-efficiency heating equipment. We have an excellent selection of boilers and furnaces from the world's top manufacturers, and our installation work is exceptional. Unlike many installers, we adhere to manufacturer's specifications, so that your new system delivers optimal performance and efficiency.
If you would like to speak with a Discount heating specialist about your system, please call us today or

Radiant heating provides exceptional comfort and energy efficiency. Unlike traditional heating, which relies on small heat transmitters using high temperature heat, radiant heat uses large emitters and lower temperatures. The most popular use of radiant is in floors. Heating elements in the floor (usually small pipes carrying heated water) turn the floor itself into a heating element that warms anything that contacts it, as well as the room itself. Radiant heat can also be delivered through walls, floors and specially designed radiators.
With today's advanced pumps and mixing valves, it is possible to warm some rooms with radiant and others with traditional baseboards - off the same boiler.
Radiant installations are complex and should be performed only by experienced contractors. Discount Oil has extensive experience in radiant heat, with dozens of successful installations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Hydro Air
Hydro air technology combines the best of hot water and hot-air heating. Heat is generated by a boiler but distributed as heated air. The heated water is piped through an air handler, where the heat is transferred from hot water coils to the air, which is then distributed to rooms through ductwork. If a central air conditioning system is integrated, the ducts perform double duty for heating in the winter and cooling in the summer.
Hydro air is particularly effective in buildings where zoned heat is desirable, because zoning is difficult with a traditional hot air heating system. It also adds more options for heating to a building that relies on water-based heating, such as for heating a garage or an addition.
Discount Oil has been designing and installing hydro air systems in local homes and businesses for years. To inquire about hydro-air heating in your home or building, please call us or

Manufacturers
Discount Oil installs advanced, high-efficiency heating equipment from some of the world's leading manufacturers.
Buderus
|
Buderus boilers and controls are designed in Europe, where fuel costs are significantly higher than in the U.S. and environmental regulations are more stringent. Models like the G115 are constructed with the highest quality materials and designed to maximize the heating value of every ounce of fuel. The triple-pass design holds the gases in the boiler longer, allowing the cast iron to absorb the maximum amount of heat. A 3" jacket of thermal insulation encases the entire boiler block to reduce standby losses. When paired with the Logamatic control, a Buderus boiler can vary its output temperature to match the weather and minimize room temperature swings.
