How To Be Ready for a Heating Oil Delivery

A Checklist for the Season

All year long you take steps to keep yourself and your family safe in your Hudson Valley home. Winter brings its own set of safety concerns. The Northeast has already gotten some record-breaking snow this year, and more is sure to be on the way. And as the temperatures decrease, your need for heating oil is likely to increase.

Each time you get a heating oil delivery this winter, there are things you should be mindful of and do beforehand that will help protect your home, your property, and our delivery personnel. Let’s review some of the important steps you can take to help the Economy Oil team deliver your heating oil safely and efficiently all winter long.

Please take the following steps to prepare for the safe and efficient delivery of your heating oil this winter season:

• Make sure our delivery crew will have safe access to your property. Clear away any snow or ice that has accumulated on your walkway and driveway. Make sure there’s a safe path to your oil fill pipe that’s at least one foot in width.
• Make sure your fill pipe can be easily and safely accessed. Keep it free of snow and ice. We also suggest that you mark your fill pipe with a brightly colored flag. That will make it more visible during and following a storm so you can more easily clear a path to it and our delivery personnel will always be able to find it.
• Keep a watchful eye on your fuel levels. Changes in the weather could cause your heating oil usage to increase dramatically. Call Economy Oil for your next delivery before your tank is less than ¼ full—even sooner if a winter storm or cold snap is in the forecast. Don’t procrastinate. Demand is always higher during the winter months, and you don’t want to be at the end of a long line of deliveries when you’re running low of oil and could potentially run out. Being without heat on a cold day can put your family and home at risk.
