OilheatAmerica is the source for information on the many benefits of home heating oil.
Specifically tailored to consumers, this web site is sponsored by the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA).
 When you hear an Oilheat ad on the radio - invite a certified Oilheat technician into your home - or read about new advances in heating oil technology, NORA is hard at work. Established in 2001, this dynamic, forward-thinking organization is industry-funded by a small contribution for every gallon of Oilheat that is destined for consumer use in over 20 states. In other words, if you are an Oilheat customer, NORA is working directly for you!
NORA's three major initiatives are Oilheat education and training, research and consumer information:
 Oilheat Education and Training
NORA has developed an outstanding Oilheat Certification Program - a specialized curriculum for technicians, drivers, customer service personnel and management, to establish educational excellence in the Oilheat industry. Oilheat technicians can also take NORA-approved courses at NORA-approved schools. These courses help technicians make each service call more efficient - saving the customer money. A well trained workforce will ensure that the Oilheat industry contributes to America's future by providing safe comfortable home heating systems.
Research
NORA has launched an ambitious research program to improve the efficiency of Oilheat equipment through enhanced burner technology, and developing self-diagnostic technology that will enable the heating system to alert you or your dealer when the boiler or furnace needs service.
In addition, NORA is making great strides in researching alternative heating sources such as BioHeat" and lower-sulfur heating oil which reduces emissions, in order to increase energy conservation.
Consumer Information
NORA is funding programs for real estate professionals to ensure they understand the benefits of heating oil so they can help homebuyers.
NORA also publishes industry related helpful consumer publications, available through OilheatAmerica. Click here to view them.
Thanks to NORA, consumers receive more value for every gallon of Oilheat delivered.
