April 2015 Bulletin

WE KNOW WE GOT THE SNOW, BUT WAS FEBRUARY COLDER THAN NORMAL?

We calculate this based on Degree Days. A Degree Day is a term used to measure the heating needs of buildings (your home) based on the average temperature of the day. It is calculated by subtracting the average temperature of the day from 65. (Example: If the average of the high and low temperature in a day is 30 de-grees, then there are 35 degree days for that day. Wind chill is also figured in the calculation) A normal month of February would average about 41 Degree Days per day. This February we averaged about 52 Degree Days per day. That makes the month about 20% colder than a normal February. February 15th alone was 71 De-gree Days and was the coldest day recorded since 1/15/04 (75 DDays). WOW!!

 

TO ALL OF OUR BUDGET ACCOUNT CUSTOMER :

Although we try our best to estimate your fuel usage in calculating your monthly budget payment, sometimes factors such as weather, home addi-tions / changes, and price will effect our estimates. Starting in April there are only 3 regular payments remaining in the budget season. Please be aware of your current balance and plan accordingly. Some of you may have seen adjustments made to previous months payments. These were done to try and elimi-nate any overpayment or balance due at the end of June, the last month of the budget plan. (Keep in mind that you may still receive another oil delivery before the end of the season.) Please note that your total bal-ance, after any applied budget payments, must be paid in full before the start of the next budget season– (July 30th). Please call us with any questions and we will be happy to help. 781-834-8831 Thank you!

OILHEAT, THE BETTER CHOICE FOR YOUR HOME AND YOUR COMFORT

BUYING OR SELLING A HOME? LET US HELP

These days, every edge helps when you want to sell a home. Potential buyers need to feel comfortable and secure with their purchase. Documents can turn promises into trust. Call us when your home is going on the market and these are some of the things we can do:

  • We can provide a signed “Statement of Condition” for your heating system to put your buyerat ease.
  • We can take away any doubts about the future performance of your heating system. Our service contracts are available to the buyer, upon becoming a customer.
  • We can come and measure the oil in your tank so you have the full value of the oil at the time of your closing.
  • We can work with you to schedule deliveries between contract and your day of closing.
  • If you or a friend are buying a home in our delivery area, we will do a no cost inspection of the heating and air conditioning system for you.
  • If you have moved to a new oilheated home in our service area, we can make the adjustment easier by coming to your home and showing you how the heating and cooling system work.
  • We can always work directly with the Realtor to make things easier on you.

When you are planning to move, plan on us. We are here to help you.

Now is the time for a “Spring Tune-Up” of your home Central Air Conditioning System.

A thorough inspection, cleaning of air filters, and cleaning of the outside condenser is important to keep your system running efficiently. Call us today at 781-834-8831 to set up a convenient appointment.

Think About It

Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.

 

From our Service Department:

We try hard to reach you and schedule the annual tune up of your heating system. However, we do not always have the best contact for you. Many of you have given us a cell phone number or a work number to reach you during the day. This helps us in contacting you to schedule a convenient time for you. If you have new contact information, please note it on your next payment and we will make the changes on your account. If an email works best for you, please include that also. Thanks again for your help and we look forward to speaking with you.
