Do I generate enough oil? |
 |
The average minimum volume of used oil you must
generate annually is between 500-700 gallons. You can
also burn #2 fuel oil if you run short of waste oil or
purchase on specification used oil from a collector.
(Approximately 35 cents per gallon.) |
|
Doesn't a used-oil fired appliance
smoke and pollute the air? |
|
Absolutely
not! OMNI waste oil appliances burn as clean as a #2
fuel oil furnace. When set up correctly, heat waves are
all you should see coming from the stack. |
|
Will different viscosities of oil
affect the combustion efficiency of my
furnace? |
|
No. Our state-of-the-art burners are designed to
accommodate a full range of oil viscosities, from 10W to
90W without the usually needed constant adjustment. Only
OMNI offers exclusively a unit with TOTAL FLAME
CONTROL. |
|
How often will I have to clean the
ash from inside the furnace? |
|
The required cleaning intervals on average are
approximately 1500 hours of operation. Our design allows
easy access and cleaning your OMNI appliance is an easy
procedure and should take about 30 minutes. |
|
Are OMNI appliances backed with a
warranty? |
|
Yes. We provide a 10 year limited warranty which
is the most comprehensive in the industry. |
|
Will I ever experience free heat,
or a huge reduction in Air Conditioning
costs? |
|
Depending on
the average annual temperature of your region, with our
heater you'll realize an 18 to 24 month return on your
investment for heat, and FREE HEAT thereafter.
With our Air Conditioning unit, you'll recover your
investment 24 to 30 months and a 70% to 90% reduction in
Air Conditioner operating costs thereafter. |
|
What is "cradle-to-grave"
liability? |
|
The federal government holds you directly and
irrevocably responsible for pollution management,
cleanup and disposal control of waste oil on property
you own - regardless of who generated or disposed of the
oil. The liability is not transferable, hence
"cradle-to-grave". |
|
I am just renting and I am not an owner, am
I still liable? |
|
Yes. |
|
How long am I liable? |
| |
Forever! Even if you sold your business a
year ago. If the spill occurred when you were owner, you
are still responsible. |
|
Is it more convenient to contract
a hauler/refiner to transport my used oil? |
|
This is what waste oil haulers would like you to
believe. Remember, your liability extends to the hauling
of used oil because of your ownership of the property on
which it is generated. If there is a spill during
transport, you are 100% responsible for costly cleanup.
|
|
Are OMNI used oil appliances
ductable? |
|
Yes. All of the OMNI heaters can be ducted, in
fact, we duct our units at no additional cost to the
customer, another OMNI exclusive. |
|
Does OMNI follow up the sale with parts and
service support? |
|
Yes: For your convenience we have a toll-free 800
number service hotline for immediate assistance. We can
aid any (H.V.A.C.) heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning person by phone. This industry is still
relatively new to these contractors, yet has been around
for over 30 years, experiencing many changes and
improvements. However, the industry is here to stay and
is growing rapidly. H.V.A.C. contractors will need to
learn these systems. We are at your convenience to
assist either by phone or factory-held seminars or
contact the factory for a Distributor near you. |
|
What does the EPA suggest? |
|
Since 1985 the EPA issued a final rule for
disposal of used oil by burning on site (40 CFR 266.41).
This proposition states there is only one solution to
eliminating your liability, burn it! |
|
Can I get pollution insurance?
|
|
Underwriters will charge astronomical amounts and
will write in protection for themselves. |
