Please know we’re closely monitoring the situation and remain committed to keeping your home fueled and comfortable.

Spring may be around the corner, but those brisk March winds still have a bit of mischief left in them. Make sure your oil tank is full, so you stay warm and cozy. Ordering is quick, simple, and hassle-free.

Why Cold Weather Uses More Heating Oil

This winter has been especially cold, and that can significantly increase how quickly your heating oil is used. Here are a few key factors that affect your consumption: 

Outdoor temperatures:
The colder it gets, the harder your system works. 

Home insulation:
Older or poorly insulated homes burn through oil faster. 

Thermostat settings:
Even a few extra degrees can increase usage. 

Home size and layout:
Larger homes or homes with high ceilings require more heat. 

Heating system efficiency:
Older systems typically use more fuel. 

Don't forget to keep an eye on your oil tank level and order oil before it falls below ¼ full. Planning ahead helps ensure your delivery arrives exactly when you need it.
