The Virginia Transit Service maintenance center has two Firelake heaters they purchased about a year ago. The heaters are very reliable and work every time. Other brands of heaters were tried at their prior location, but they switched to Firelake because the waste oil heaters are manufactured to produce more heat than other heaters. In fact, the heaters supply so much heat that usually they only use one. Only in extreme weather conditions do they turn on the second heater.

Service technicians stay warm and vehicles at a moderated temperature while being serviced thanks to the reliable heat of Firelake waste oil heaters.

Waste oil heating just makes sense.

Shelor Toyota is a community minded company with a focus on the future. Shelor Toyota’s Growing the Future Community Partnership is a great example of this. Another example of good community stewardship is their dedication to reusing waste oil and other byproducts in their heating system. This not only saves money, but is also a decision that utilizes technology and impacts our future. “Waste oil heating just makes sense. Firelake Manufacturing continues to develop technology in their heaters and furnaces that help businesses like ours reduce overhead and make a contribution to our future by taking advantage of resources available.”

If someone asks me, I always recommend Firelake.

Roger decided to install a Firelake waste oil heater and has since been able to turn his full attention to his customers’ needs, not the heater! “It’s been twelve years since we got rid of our old, problematic furnace and installed our Firelake waste oil heater. In all these years, our Firelake heater has required very little service, rarely needs our attention, and heats our shop very well. If someone asks me, I always recommend Firelake. It’s the only waste oil heater I can recommend to colleagues looking for an efficient furnace that is problem-free.”

We are very pleased with the reliability of our waste oil heater.

The winter weather in Massachusetts can be brutal, but Jim’s Garage remains warm all winter long. “Even with frequent door openings to bring in vehicles, the Firelake heater is able to keep the shop warm and comfortable. We are very pleased with the reliability of our waste oil heater.”

The heater is “very economical on the amount of fuel it uses to keep the garage such a comfortable temperature,” says Jim. “I definitely made the right choice in a Firelake waste oil heater for my garage! If you want warm, reliable heat for your garage, give Firelake a call.”

The cost savings have been sizeable. “I’ve been able to virtually eliminate my energy bills and still keep the garage a comfortable temp all winter long,” says Willie. While they rely solely on their Firelake waste oil heater, Willie says they “simply check on their old furnace once a year to verify it still works.”

We have not had to spend any time or money servicing it.

Not only has their Firelake heater saved the company money on heat, but it has proven extremely reliable. Pat, Office Manager of Slebodnik’s agrees that their Firelake heater is a tremendous asset. “We have not had to spend any time or money servicing it. We just turn it on when we need it, and it starts pumping out heat.”

I like the (Firelake) equipment durability and performance so much, I decided to sell it.

Mr. Kip Dues, Manager of Midwest Rebuilds, says “a Shenandoah waste oil heater was installed over 20 years ago, and it’s still in operation!” Firelake Manufacturing took over the Shenandoah line of waste oil heaters in 2002, adding them to their extensive line of waste oil heaters and furnaces. Since that time, Kip has purchased more waste oil equipment from Firelake. “I like the (Firelake) equipment durability and performance so much, I decided to sell it. It’s a product that runs reliably and puts out plenty of heat, so it’s something that I can sell to my customers knowing they’ll have a good experience owning the equipment,” Kip says.

“The heaters are very easy to clean and require very little service. However, if service is required, parts are cheaper than other types of waste oil heaters.” With their extensive knowledge of mechanics, broadening the span of their service offerings to include waste oil servicing and repair is a win-win.

Kip and the crew at Midwest Rebuilds have started servicing other brands of heaters because their customers could not get good service elsewhere. Kip knows what the waste oil heating industry has to offer, and appreciates the quality of equipment put forth by Firelake Manufacturing.

If you are in the Western Ohio area and are curious about the money you can save by burning used oil and transmission fluid for heat, stop in and see Kip at Midwest Rebuilds.

The heaters produce as much heat as we need all winter long. We love that the oil we save can later be burned for free heat.
