Keeping your home warm during the winter months is an important task—if you rely on heating oil to power your furnace, Foster Fuels can help. Since 1921, we have been providing home petroleum oil delivery to residences in Virginia and beyond.

Also known as No. 2 heating oil, heating oil is a distillate that is very closely related to diesel fuel. In the U.S., heating oil puts out more heat per BTU basis than natural gas or electricity. This means that it’s a very energy efficient fuel for keeping your home warm in the winter months. With recent advances in technology, using heating oil is now safer for the environment, producing fewer emissions and hydrocarbons.
At Foster Fuels, we believe home comfort should be seamless. Whether your home’s oil tank is full isn’t something you should have to worry about. Have you ever run out of heating oil and called your heating oil supplier, only to learn there will be a three-day wait for a refill? With Foster Fuels, that’s never an issue. With our auto-fill service, our drivers will check your tank regularly and ensure you have enough oil at all times, billing only for what you need. This is an ideal choice for busy families who need the reliability of constant fuel without constantly monitoring their tank and calling to place each order.
In today’s economy, it’s more important than ever to be mindful of your expenses. While rising utility costs have hit many families hard, home heating shouldn’t be something you have to go without.

En Virginie, le kérosène est le plus souvent utilisé pour le chauffage résidentiel. En particulier dans les zones rurales, le kérosène reste une alternative viable au mazout pour l'usage résidentiel. Le kérosène peut également être utilisé dans les lanternes, les réchauds de camping et un certain nombre d'autres petits appareils.
Since the mid-80s, kerosene has seen a steady decline in popularity as a residential heating fuel source. Many homes have converted to kerosene alternatives including electrical heat or to fuel-oil-based systems. However, kerosene does offer a number of advantages that should be considered when weighing the decision to change fuel sources.
Long shelf life is one of the most important. Kerosene can be stored for years without degrading in quality or corroding fuel tanks. For these reasons, it’s an excellent choice for rural households that are not regularly serviced by fuel delivery trucks. There is also evidence to suggest that kerosene gives off fewer hazardous fumes than other heating sources, making it somewhat safer to work with.
Le principal inconvénient du kérosène est sa disponibilité. En Virginie, le kérosène est de plus en plus difficile à trouver, ce qui le rend plus cher à l'achat. Il est également difficile de trouver des techniciens qualifiés capables d'assurer la maintenance et l'entretien des équipements au kérosène. Si vous envisagez de passer du kérosène au mazout pour le chauffage de votre maison, contactez d'abord Foster Fuels - nous pouvons vous aider à évaluer les avantages et les inconvénients afin de déterminer si c'est le bon choix pour vous.
Une source persistante de confusion lors de l'achat de kérosène en Virginie est la différence entre les carburants clairs et les carburants teintés. Le kérosène clair et le kérosène coloré sont taxés différemment. Par conséquent, l'utilisation du kérosène teinté en Virginie est limitée à certaines applications. Foster Fuels peut fournir les deux types de produits, alors contactez-nous directement pour nous aider à déterminer ce qui vous convient le mieux.
Quels que soient vos besoins en matière de chauffage domestique, Foster Fuels s'efforcera de dépasser vos attentes chaque fois que vous aurez besoin de nous. Nous proposons des services de commande et de facturation en ligne, ainsi que de nombreux autres services à valeur ajoutée qui vous sont utiles.
