Waste oil heating is becoming more and more popular among business owners as advances in waste oil technology make heaters and boilers more efficient than before. Stop paying to haul away valuable waste oil!
Rather, invest in your business with a waste oil heater or boiler.
Burning Waste Oil for Fuel
Burning waste oil used to be a messy business. Thankfully, that’s changed, and waste oil heating is efficient, more environmentally friendly, and cost effective. The market shift is due in large part to EnergyLogic and local dealers.
Denny Wandtke of Black Gold Environmental has been a strong champion of waste oil heaters for as long as they have been a thing. He’s an expert at helping businesses save money by reusing waste oil to lower fixed costs.
In Wisconsin where he’s based, Wandtke estimates that 95% of businesses that generate waste oil use a waste oil heater, and they come back to replace them when their 10-year warranty is up.
It’s a numbers game, and Wandtke can help you win it.
How You Would Save with a Waste Oil Heater
- Auto Shop in Northern Midwest USA
- 4,000sq.ft.
| Current Fixed Costs | Heating with propane 5 months 2,400 gal @ $2.50/gal | $6,000 per year |
| Used Oil Generation | 1,600 gal of waste oil generated per year Waste oil disposal @ $.50/gal | $800 per year |
| Waste Oil Heater Costs | Depending on model – $12,000 | $12,000 one-time payment |
| Total Savings | Heater pays for itself in 2 years Eliminate waste oil disposal Eliminate propane costs | Save $6,800*10 per year – $12,000 initial investment = $56,000 in 10 years |

Better Than Ever: Advanced Waste Oil Heating Technology
Today, waste oil heaters and boilers are less manual, require far less maintenance, and save money from the moment they are installed. As heating fuel prices rise, and companies start charging more to haul waste oil away, the benefits of waste oil heaters and boilers are becoming more obvious.
Some of the other notable achievements in technology include:
- Metering Pump –Now, with metering pumps, different waste oils stored in the tank will flow into the burner continuously and automatically, regardless of viscosity.
- Onboard Compressor – Putting the compressor on the furnace allows for a more convenient, efficient, and clean onboard air atomization system. Most importantly, it ensures the complete combustion of fuel, regardless of changes in fuel viscosity.
- Flame Retention Head – To deliver the highest heat output, the team at EnergyLogic patented their design for a flame retention head. This design burns hotter, ensuring complete fuel combustion and produces far less ash, lengthening times between maintenance.
High Natural Gas Prices Predicted for 2024
While it’s still officially summer, the Energy Information Administration is predicting higher than normal natural gas prices for winter 2024. Unfortunately, because of lower-than-average prices and demand from last winter, some drillers for gas-directed and producers pulled back production due to reduced demand.
For 2024, however, the agency is estimating an 11% increase in natural gas demand for electricity, and 5% higher consumption across residential and commercial sectors, leading to higher prices as demand exceeds supply.
This makes it the perfect year to invest in a waste oil heater and take advantage of free heat.
