2. Set reminders to check your fuel levels to avoid a runout
Make sure you set reminders to check your heating oil levels in your tank! The last thing you want to do is run out of fuel during the dead of winter. Emergency fuel deliveries can also be a costly expense. If you need a heating oil delivery, Marshall Oil Company has you covered all winter long! You can even sign up for automatic delivery at no extra cost—just contact us to enroll.
3. Set a timer for your Halloween decorations!
With Halloween around the corner, a great way you can save money on energy costs this fall is by using a smart plug along with your Halloween lights and decorations. This way, they turn off at a designated time every night, and you won’t have to worry about running up your energy bills because you forgot to turn them off.
4. Don’t forget about closing your curtains!
Make sure you keep your curtains on your south-facing windows open during the day, so the warmth of the sun can get in, and close them at night. Closing your curtains can help keep some of the heat in, and stave off the bitter cold.
5. Upgrade your oil heating equipment
Technology in every sector is constantly improving. Heating oil equipment is no different. Getting a heating oil tank or system upgrade installed by Marshall Oil Company can help ensure that you’re using fuel more efficiently, reducing your carbon footprint, and that your system is less likely to leak heating oil or suffer a breakdown. Here are some common signs to look for if you think your heating equipment needs to be replaced:
- Unstable or weak legs
- Low oil efficiency
- Wet spots and rust
- Leaks
- Age of equipment
