What is a Waste Oil Heater?

You have probably heard of hot oil heaters, but you may not be aware of the newest innovation in the industry -- the waste oil heater. With so much emphasis being placed on resource conservation and the rising cost of oil it's no wonder companies are turning to this alternative for their space heaters and radiators. Waste oil used in these heaters is used oil, however it is free from any harmful contaminants as stated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA.) Therefore you can feel safe using one of these heaters in your home or office.


One manufacturer of these heaters is Omni Waste Oil Fired Appliances.Their products meet the regulations set by the EPA and are UL, CE and CUL Certified. You may recognize UL, which stands for Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. and is a trusted mark of quality and safety. Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. puts the products they review through rigorous safety and quality control testing to ensure the products are safe and effective for the public. This is a mark you should always look for whether you're buying any kind of appliance from a heater to a hairdryer.

Omni has crafted the first portable waste oil infrared heater. The incline is adjustable 20 degrees on this heater which allows you to direct the hot air where you want it to go. It is easily taken from place to place and the cover can be removed which allows you to maintenance the pump assembly and burner if necessary. While this heater looks quite different than your average metal fin space heater it is something to consider if the use of waste oil appeals to you.

There are a variety of other innovative waste oil heater choices on the market as well, including those made by Reznor, Lanair and EconoHeat. If you are the type who enjoys taking on complex projects you can even consider crafting your own waste oil heating device.
