NYC Clean Heat Initiative

Trust us to help you comply with the NYC Clean Heat Initiative.

If you are a NYC commercial operation, you are most likely familiar with the Local Law 97, also known as the NYC Clean Heat Initiative, which mandates the phase out of number 4 heating oil in boilers across the city to improve air quality and reduce harmful emissions. Another Local Law 32 will prohibit the use of number 4 oil in municipal buildings starting in July 2025 and in all other buildings by July 27.

To comply with these regulations, it means that Certificates of Operation and permits for boilers utilizing number 4 Oil will not be renewed from June 2024. As NYC Clean Heat Experts, you can count on Petro as your partner to help design a cleaner, more cost-effective energy and fuel solutions package to meet the guidelines of this important initiative.

pcm5 There are several options available for converting from number 4 oil to a cleaner energy source to achieve compliance:

Each of the options outlined below will involve a cost — some more than others.
Before committing to a conversion plan which might involve a significant investment, Petro can help by identifying and evaluating available options to make sure you select the right choice for your building.
We can also help you identify energy savings incentives to help offset the compliance cost.

What are your options?

First, schedule a free energy audit which will help you determine which of the following solutions work best for you to comply with the new law:

Convert from number 4 oil to number 2 oil, which is a cost-effective long-term option.
Convert from number 4 oil to dual fuel or natural gas. In addition to potential short-term fuel savings, we can direct you to rebates and incentives that may be available.

While this process and these requirements may be complex, you can be sure that as your commercial energy solutions partner, Petro will help you understand and navigate them so that you comply with this important local initiative.
