In a year where money is tight for many of us, we need to do what we can, where we can to save it.

While following energy saving tips and installing high efficiency heating equipment are two great ways to start, one of the best and simplest ways to save money during the winter is to simply use Natural Heating Oil from Burt’s Reliable.

That’s because New York State provides a 20-cent per gallon Clean Fuel Credit on your state income taxes for your annual Biofuel purchases. In other words, if you used 750 gallons of Burt’s Natural Heating Oil®  (also known as Bioheat®) in 2020, you qualify for a $150 clean fuel tax credit.

It’s important to understand that many other heating oil companies in eastern LI don’t offer Bioheat; those that do usually offer a lower percentage blend, which means less savings for you (since New York gives a one-cent credit for every percentage of biodiesel in your fuel…meaning that a B5 blend would only give you a 5-cent credit per gallon).

The bottom line: if you want to maximize your tax savings, choose B20 Bioheat – Natural Heating Oil – from Burt’s Reliable.

How do I apply for a Clean Fuel Credit?
