How One Business Slashed Thousands in Heating Costs with Lanair

Thursday, October 2, 2025

Bill Moss, owner of EuroService Auto, has always been serious about keeping his auto shop running smoothly, both in terms of quality and customer satisfaction. But like many auto repair businesses, one constant challenge was the high cost of heating his large workshop, as well as disposing of waste oil. That was until Bill made the switch to Lanair's MX-250 waste oil heater (now the XT-250). Seven years later, Bill's still seeing the benefits. Here's how it all went down.

The Problem: High Heating Bills Cutting Into Profits

Before Bill switched to the Lanair heater, heating his large shop during the colder months was an expensive and unpredictable ordeal. With fluctuating energy costs and the massive space to heat, his bills often spiked and left a dent in profits. As an auto service provider that values a comfortable working environment for both employees and customers, it was clear that something had to change.

The Solution: The MX-250 (Now the XT-250)

Bill decided to invest in Lanair’s MX-250 waste oil heater, which has since been replaced by the XT-250 model. The XT-250 features a powerful heat output of up to 250,000 BTUH, capable of heating spaces up to 8,500 sq. ft. Burning 100% used synthetic oil and other fluids, it has significantly reduced EuroService Auto’s reliance on traditional heating methods.

What made the XT-250 stand out wasn’t just the savings, but the convenience. Bill no longer had to worry about disposing of waste oil. Instead, he turned it into a reliable source of heat for his entire shop. The heater is built for easy maintenance, with an easy-access hinged chamber door and a large side-access clean-out panel, requiring only occasional servicing. It’s kept the shop warm even through the coldest months.

The Results: Over $25,000 Saved

Since integrating the XT-250 into his operations, Bill has reported an impressive savings of over $25,000 in heating expenses over the past 7 years. This total covers the initial purchase and maintenance costs, showcasing how successfully the heater has performed. The XT-250 eliminated the need for traditional heating fuels and waste oil disposal, delivering ongoing savings and reducing overall operating costs. The investment has already paid for itself, giving Bill more resources to reinvest in his business.

“We are very careful about how we process our waste oil and we do perform regular annual maintenance (cleaning and servicing) on the unit, but it has never let us down. The service and parts departments have been very helpful and responsive to our needs, and their advice has always been spot on. The purchase was a good decision then, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.” – Bill Moss

Bill’s success story is just one of many, and it exemplifies the value that Lanair waste oil heaters bring to businesses like EuroService Auto.
