"We looked at the purchase of a Clean Burn
furnace for quite a while. Because
we're a recycling drop-off site, we had used oil
being delivered here by the citizens of the community
as well as the oil from our own street department
vehicles.
Before we had the Clean Burn furnace installed,
the used oil was going to a refinery. Sometimes
there would be a charge for taking the oil away.
We wanted a method to dispose of the used oil that
was both safe and beneficial.
By investing in the Clean Burn furnace, we no
longer have to pay to have our oil removed. We
have also seen significant savings on our heating
bills. We have 1 16' high by 60'x 120' building,
and after we installed the Clean Burn furnace our
heating costs dropped by 60%, from $8,000 to $3,000
per year. We paid for the furnace rather quickly!
We have had the furnace for two years, and we
clean the furnace about once per year. It has worked
out so well for our department that the West Lafayette
Waste Water Department installed one after they
saw how well ours worked.
It took three years to convince me that Clean
Burn was the way to go, and it has proven to be
very effective!"
