Running Out of Oil is Expensive – In More Ways Than One

Nobody wants to run out of heating oil, especially not in the colder months. It’s inconvenient, a hassle, and uncomfortable, to say the least. But did you know that letting your oil tank run dry can actually harm your heating system? Fortunately, the professional energy experts at Fredericks Fuel are here for you! We can inspect your tank, perform necessary maintenance, get you all filled up and set for winter, and help make sure you never run out of heating oil again.

Emergency Oil Deliveries Cost More

Same-day rush delivery has its place, and it’s an important service for families and businesses in need. But it costs more, and with a little preparation, it’s avoidable. Working with a Fredericks Fuel expert to analyze your fuel usage can help eliminate the risk of:

• Needing costly rush delivery of the heating oil you need to stay warm.
• Buying temporary, overpriced, unsafe heating alternatives, like space heaters.
• Checking into a hotel for comfort while waiting on your scheduled delivery.
• Your home getting so cold that your pipes freeze, flooding your house and damaging your property.

Running Out of Heating Oil Can Damage your Heater

Letting your tank run empty is costly in more ways than just the obvious expense of having to pay for rush delivery and emergency service. Having a dry tank is actually bad for your entire heating system, since it can:

• Allow debris to buildup and obstruct the oil filters.
• Overwork your heating system, lessening its efficiency and creating too much strain, wear, and tear on your heater.
• Cause sediment, debris, dirt, dander and hair to get sucked into the empty feed line.
• Invite water to pool in the dry tank, leading to rust and corrosion which, in turn, causes your tank to leak.

Automatic Delivery Prevents Oil Runouts

Automatic heating oil delivery takes all of the work out of ordering your fuel—no more checking the tank, no more phone calls. When you enroll in automatic delivery, we monitor your fuel use and make deliveries before there’s any chance of running out, which can be inconvenient and expensive. There is no extra charge for this service, and you will not use any more fuel than you would on will-call.
