Thermal Stability Systems Elimination of Cold Oil Burn (Increased Viscosity Oil) Cost Benefit Analysis
April 28, 2008
Example: Average homeowner using #2 Fuel Oil
Installation: Average US homeowner utilizes 860 gallons heating oil per season1
Cost of #2 Fuel Oil (US avg. March 2008)2 = $3.85 Decrease in Furnace Efficiency due to Increased Viscosity3 = 8%
Total cost savings/season (eliminate cold oil burn):
(860 gallons #2 oil) * (Cost of #2 $3.85) * (Decrease Eff 8%) = $264.88
Total cost savings/season = (eliminate cold burn oil) – (heater seasonal operation cost)4 = $264.88 - $23.00 = $241.88
$242/season
