Information About Automatic Heating Oil Delivery

By Adriana Noton


A big concern for most people living in areas where the winter can be extreme is how to keep the house warm and stay within their budget. Automatic heating oil delivery helps keep cost under control while keeping the fuel tank fuel. Using oil to heat the home is safe, economical, and efficient.

No matter how harsh or bitter it may be outside, a home that uses oil for heat, can still be warm and cozy inside. 1 gallon of oil burned equals 138,000 BTU's of heat and a flame temperature is reached of 3,000 degrees. The house will warm up quickly.

Heating oil in its liquid state will not burn. Unlike propane or natural gas, this fuel will not explode if there is a build up of product. There is also a naturally built in warning sign if there is ever a build up of Carbon Monoxide (CO). The oil will emit smoke before accumulating to a dangerous level.

Oil heating systems also have an efficiency rating of over 95%, due to advances made in the design of their burners. Consumers have been able to reduce their annual consumption by 35% since 1973. Meanwhile, the cost for using natural gas and electric heat has increased 40% over the recent four years. Being able to use less fuel to heat the home adds to a person's savings.

Another benefit for the home owner is to have automatic delivery set up with a local oil company. It provides a regular schedule of delivery so that your family is never without heat. In addition, person will not have to worry about finding someone to deliver oil if they run low during the harsh winter months.

Once an agreement or contract has been entered into deliveries will begin on a regular schedule. A homeowner does not need to be present as the driver will leave the bill for the number of gallons they provided. Without the automatic agreement in place a person will have to shop for the best price and then pay when it is delivered.

Due to the locked in price per gallon, most companies also set up a monthly payment plan that allows their customers to average out the total annual cost with equal monthly payments. This does mean that during the hot summer months they will be paying for their heating oil but it also means that during the winter while their consumption has increased dramatically, their payments have not. Another great benefit is most companies will also guarantee that the home owner will never run out of heating oil. If it happens, then the next fill up is free.

Keeping the home warm and safe during the winter is easy to accomplish with automatic heating oil delivery. Oil is safe to use. It does not explode and it has a built in warning system for carbon monoxide build up by emitting smoke if there is a build up. Check with local companies to find the best service and price.
