Oil Water Heater Installation & Replacement

The Oil Water Heater- an enduring invention

Since the invention and patent of the first oil-fueled water heater in 1889 by Norweigan scientist and inventor, Edmund Rudd, they’ve been a fixture in homes across the world. Still sometimes referred to by its original patented name, “The Geyser”, they’re commonly found in older homes, as they are similar to the model the house would have been built with, or had installed when the option became available.

Since they have endured for so long, with relatively few changes to the initial design as the years have gone by, they’re wonderful options for any home--most especially ones with oil-based heat already in place.

The reasons for their enduring popularity aren’t difficult to see, such as:

• Fast heat-up of water
• Low operational costs
• Increased energy savings

Why Oil Water Heaters are better than ever before

Perhaps best of all, with the passing of New Emissions Standards by the EPA in 2015, manufacturers are now required to make these units more environmentally sound, and energy-efficient than ever before, utilizing new technology to make an already amazing product, even more attractive.

There are numerous benefits to upgrading or replacing an older water heater, such as avoiding potential damage like mold, rot, and water damage to your home and belongings. Installing a newer model also greatly increases resale value, making the investment worthwhile in the long run.
