When you think about neighborhood revitalization projects and green spaces, your brain probably doesn’t immediately jump to the boiler or furnace in your basement ... but maybe it should! That’s because Bioheat® fuel, the environmentally friendly energy source that heats your home, is actually a part of the City’s “80x50” plan to reduce NYC’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 80% by 2050.
Bioheat containing a minimum of 5% clean, green biofuel (B5) is currently used by more than 700,000 homes in the five boroughs. Officials estimate that the emissions reductions stemming from citywide use of B5 Bioheat fuel are equal to taking 45,000 cars off the road. So, just by turning the heat on, you’re already doing your part to help NYC reduce GHG emissions!
If you’d like to go a step further toward cleaning up your community — and save money and energy in the process — think about upgrading your boiler or furnace before the winter begins. As your Bioheat fuel dealer, we can help you take advantage of the Upgrade & Save NYCLI Energy Efficiency & Safety Rebate Program to save up to $800 on a new heating system and storage tank.
Since 2015, Upgrade & Save NYCLI has helped more than 3,000 New Yorkers save a total of $1.3 million on new boilers, furnaces, burners and storage tanks. Plus, upgrading your heating system can reduce your energy usage and fuel costs by as much as 48.3% — all while making your home warmer and more comfortable than ever! However, the coldest days of winter are only a few short months away, so you need to act quickly if you want to achieve the full benefits of a heating system upgrade.
