Thermal Stability Systems Kerosene Usage Cost Benefit Analysis April 28, 2008
Example: Average homeowner with 50% Kerosene/50% #2 Fuel Oil
Installation: Average US homeowner utilizes 860 gallons heating oil per season1
Cost of Kerosene (US avg. Jan. 2008)2 = $3.31 Cost of #2 Fuel Oil (US avg. Jan. 2008)3 = $2.79 ΔCost of K1/#2 = $0.52
Total cost savings/season (eliminate K1 cut):
(430 gallons K1) * (ΔCost of K1/#2 $0.52) = $223.60
BTU content #2 Fuel Oil = 138,5004 BTU content Kerosene = 136,0005
Total cost savings/season (increased BTU content #2):
(430 gallons #2) * ($2.79 gallon) * (0.018 increased BTU) = $21.60
Total cost savings = (eliminate K1 cut) + (increased BTU content #2) – (heater seasonal operation cost)6 = $223.60 + $21.60 - $23.00 =
$222/season
