Winter is here which means snow has started to pile up and navigating an icy sidewalk is a regular occurrence. It’s cold outside so it’s important to make sure your heating system stays running and everyone is warm inside. Here are a few things you can do to make it easier for the team at Supreme Energy to complete your home heating oil delivery during the winter. Following these steps will help our technicians stay safe and serve you better.
Don’t Let Snow Build Up
Allowing snow or ice to accumulate and build up on pathways around your home can be dangerous to you, guests, and the oil delivery team. It’s important to make sure there is a clear path along the walkway or driveway to your fill pipe. This will help service technicians safely access your property in a timely manner.
Keep Fill Pipe Clear
Always keeping your fill pipe clear will allow the service team easy access for the delivery process. It can also be a good idea to mark the pipe with a flag or other brightly colored marker to help you clear a path to it and make it more visible during a storm.
Monitor Fuel Levels Closely
Checking on fuel levels regularly during the winter months will ensure you aren’t caught off guard and run out of heating oil. We generally spend more time indoors during the winter months and residential heating equipment needs to work harder with the cold temperatures outside so fuel usage can increase substantially. Running out during the winter can drop the temperatures in your home dangerously low and risks freezing pipes so it’s best to keep the heating system running. We recommend ordering a refill before your tank is less than a ¼ or signing up for automatic fuel delivery service.
