| Waste oil boilers can save you or your business a | | | | pay for it, of course, but from time to time I will |
| lot of money over the course of several years. | | | | donate several hundred gallons. The point is they |
| They are expensive but with the price of natural | | | | should have planned to meet their fuel needs |
| gas going up every year it can really be a | | | | before they even purchased their waste oil boiler/ |
| worthwhile investment. Your eleven thousand | | | | burner. |
| investment can easily pay for itself in three years | | | | If you cannot meet the supply yourself secure a |
| depending on the size of the area you are heating. | | | | deal with another business who can. You may |
| But before you go out and buy an oil burner | | | | have to pay them for the waste oil depending on |
| please make sure you have secured enough | | | | where you live and how much of a demand there |
| waste oil per month to run it. This is a mistake | | | | is for it. It will not be much. I pay another |
| that most people who buy these boilers make. | | | | company $5 per 55 gallon barrel just as a back |
| They just think about the savings and do not give | | | | up. It's from a tire changeover business that does |
| enough thought to the supply. Many mechanic | | | | a lot of oil changes in the spring and fall season. |
| shops have bought an oil burner thinking they | | | | Most times I trade that 55 gallon drum of waste |
| were going to save a lot of money on heat only | | | | oil to a transmission shop, who bought one but |
| to find out later that they do not do enough oil | | | | never have enough oil to fuel it, for free |
| changes to keep up with the supply needs, | | | | transmission work on my work vans. |
| especially in the winter. | | | | You have to be doing a lot of oil changes or have |
| I own a mobile fleet/maintenance business and | | | | a decent supply from another company who |
| know several businesses who have invested in a | | | | does a lot of oil changes to make having an oil |
| waste oil boiler. I bought one of these burners | | | | burner worthwhile. That is the only way you will |
| two years ago. I have no problem filling my | | | | have enough. In the winter your boiler will be |
| waste oil needs. I actually generate way more | | | | burning 25 gallons a day minimum. Some days the |
| than I need. A lot of the oil I generate ends up | | | | oil usage will go to 30 gallons. You have to be |
| being giving away when I just do not have | | | | prepared to meet this demand. If you do not |
| anymore room to store it. I receive calls all the | | | | then your investment will be worthless as you will |
| time from operators inquiring whether I have | | | | have to switch back on the natural gas and write |
| extra oil to give away. None of them want to | | | | the waste oil burner off as a business loss. |
