SEASONS GREETINGS

As we enter another holiday season, it’s a perfect time to stop and appreciate all we have. As a company we are thankful for our great staff of employees both in the office and out in the field. They are what give us the ability to take care of you, our customers. We are fortunate to have such a friendly and loyal customer base and we appreciate the opportunity you give us to take serve you and your family year after year. From all of us to all of you, may you have a pleasant and joyful holiday season and a happy and healthy new year.

OUR 2017 SCENIC APPOINTMENT CALENDARS

A small token of our appreciation. (Yes, despite the handheld devices we all have, some people still prefer these) Please stop in and pick up your complimentary copy (and one for a friend if you want). If you can’t make it in, let us know and we will bring it with us to your next scheduled oil delivery or service.

SERVICE DEPARTMENT HINTS:

As we approach colder weather we always like to offer some suggestions to help prevent frozen pipes.

  • On the coldest days, keep the water moving. Ice has a hard time forming if you keep faucets at a trickle. Also, flush all toilets at least once a day.(Note: If your house is this cold, you should have called us by now, or you are without power. The former we can help you with)
  • Don’t turn the thermostats down too low. Turning the thermostat down when you are at work or away for a few days will save you money on heating costs. Don’t overdo it. We don’t recommend setting the temperature below 55 degrees.
  • Wrap your pipes in insulation or heating tape. Condensation often causes hot water pipes to freeze before cold water pipes. Wrap your pipes, especially those that run through unheated spaces. You might also consider electric heating tape.
  • If you are away for an extended period of time, it’s a good idea to open the cabinet doors under your sink(s) for air movement — especially if the sink is on an outside (cold) wall like most kitchens.
  • Keep your thermostat set at the same temperature during both day and night. You might be in the habit of turning down the heat when you’re asleep, but further drops in the temperature – more common overnight – could catch you off guard and freeze your pipes.
