How
often should my furnace be serviced?
You should have your furnace serviced once a year in order to keep
it's efficiency as high as possible by replacing normal wearing parts
such as nozzle and oil line filters. Also, for safety, motors need
lubrication and controls should be maintained within the manufacturer's
specifications. Yearly service will also help you avoid having to
make emergency service calls.
How
do heating oil prices compare to the prices of other forms of fuel?
Heating oil prices fluctuate during the year because of "supply
and demand". Local heating oil prices stay competitive with other
petroleum based forms of heat like propane and natural gas.
How
will you know when I need to fill my heating oil tank?
We are able to make a fairly accurate estimate based on your prior
usage, outside air temperature and computer modeling programs.
Is
oil heat safe?
Heating oil is not like other forms of fuel. It does not burn in liquid
form. Heating oil is formulated to be stable. To burn the oil in your
home, the oil is vaporized through the nozzle and heated in a sealed
combustion chamber. It is only after this that the created flame will
heat your home.
