How Much Do You Know About Heating Oil?

- 4:01 pm - August 21st, 2025


Other than knowing that it goes into your tank and is delivered by a big truck that says “GLIDER OIL CO., INC.” on it, how much do you really know about heating oil?

For the last hundred years, homes and businesses across America have trusted heating oil for their comfort – and for many years, so have our customers in Oswego, Jefferson, Onondaga, Lewis, St. Lawrence, Oneida, Madison, Cayuga, Tompkins, Cortland, and Herkimer counties. That’s because heating oil has so many benefits! 

  • Heating oil is clean: Today’s heating oil is 95% cleaner than in 1970. When combined with modern heating equipment, heating oil customers can drastically reduce their carbon emissions.
  • Heating oil is safe: Heating oil is extremely safe. It can only be ignited by an advanced burning system in your oil burner or furnace and poses very little risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, unlike natural gas.
  • Heating oil is reliable: You are able to store your fuel directly on your property in a heating oil storage tank. You will always have the supply you need right on your property.
  • Heating oil means personal service: Unlike the gas utility that only knows you as an account number, Glider Oil offers warm, personal service. You can always call us to speak to a friendly representative about your fuel deliveries.

Now that you know a little more about heating oil, also know that you can count on Glider Oil for high-quality fuel from our own storage facility, either automatic or C.O.D. delivery, a convenient budget plan, fuel discounts, and much more! Contact us today to reap all the benefits of heating oil!
