Biodiesel for Home Heating: smart, clean, positive and fun.
Portland Green Heat is a service based company promoting preventative maintenance using techniques that improve the quality, efficiency, and performance of existing HVAC systems while simultaneously reducing their stress on the environment. We promote and encourage green and sustainable building by providing a better product and service to the community, with honest solutions.
Our service department specializes in bioheat and installs biodiesel burner modifications to use B99 as a cleaner alternative to conventional petroleum based home heating oil. For homeowners that are bio-curious we endorse the use of B20 to use in any oil furnace with no modifications needed, "the only thing you need to change is your mind."
If B20 is your choice we advise you have your furnace serviced every fall before the heating season. We can perform a service tune up for your house hold to make sure your burner is burning the fuel as clean and hot as possible , just call our service department for an appointment. We also have service agreements for priority service and prescheduled maintenance. Our company is also known as Central Heating & Cooling LLC: we are a proud "American Standard " Dealer, and our company services all brands and all types of Oil, Gas, Electric, Boilers, Heat Pump, and AC systems.
I use B99 in my 2005 Dodge Cummins and have been pleased with the results. I know the smell of Diesel exhaust well as I am always in traffic on a motorbike and have had the blast of diesel exhaust blown my way many, many times. After my first fill up I was caught by my neighbor kneeling next to my tail pipe. "Watcha doing?" this was the first of many conversations I have had at the tailgate of my service truck. I have noticed the engine runs cooler and quieter, MPG dropped a little but I feel no guilt at the fuel pump.
I feel there is a fun factor to this fuel and it has a strong solidarity in the community and starts very intelligent conversations. My experience using Biodiesel? Smart, clean, positive, & fun.
My experience with homeowners converting to Biodiesel for home heating has been great. I have had lots of practice setting up Biodiesel burners by correcting do-it-yourself home owners technical adjustments. After setting up the Bio-burners for my clients I have developed a winning service solution for higher concentrations of Biodiesel used for home heating. Our company can set up your furnace and maintain it for the years ahead.
Most service problems I have encountered have been due to lack of maintenance before the decision to change fuels. We have finally obtained the BIOFUEL pump we have all been looking for! The Bio fuel pump is rated for B100 and is available through our service department.
Our staff is knowledgeable in Biodiesel and our company is excited about this cutting edge technology.
