No. When you use a properly designed and EPA-compliant waste oil heater like those from EnergyLogic, they are a responsible way to reuse waste oil instead of disposing of it improperly. Burning the oil onsite reduces the need for hauling and dumping and avoids the environmental risks associated with poor oil disposal. The key is using equipment built for safe combustion and meeting all local and federal guidelines.

Yes. EnergyLogic waste oil heaters are engineered to handle a wide range of waste oil viscosities, from lighter crankcase oils up to heavier gear oils and synthetics. Their advanced combustion system creates a hotter, more complete burn that allows these different oil types to be used efficiently, which means you can recycle more of your facility’s oil waste into heat.

Absolutely. Proper venting is essential for safe and effective operation of a waste oil heater. All combustion gases must be routed outside through an appropriate flue system to protect indoor air quality and ensure the heater runs efficiently. Following the manufacturer’s venting recommendations and local building codes is critically important for both safety and performance. We offer certified installations to ensure your venting is up to code and safety standards.

EnergyLogic units are built for high efficiency. A single gallon of waste oil contains about 140,000 BTUs of heat energy, and with the right combustion conditions, clean oil, heated fuel, and sufficient airflow, a waste oil heater can turn that fuel into usable warmth without frequent operator attention. EnergyLogic’s patented fuel metering and flame retention technologies help maximize this output and keep your maintenance intervals longer and simpler.
