Spring weather in the Northeast can change at the drop of a hat. One day it is warm and sunny, and the next, a surprise cold front sweeps in. If you heat your home in New York or New Jersey with oil heat, you’re probably wondering if you really need to order fuel before summer. The answer is: yes! Spring heating oil orders are important to keep your family comfortable, keep your home safe, and help protect the longevity of your oil tank. Here are just a few more reasons we recommend that customers order oil in the spring.
5 Reasons Not to Skip a Spring Fuel Delivery
1. Get ahead of unpredictable weather
Gain peace of mind knowing that you can switch on the heat in the event of a cold snap.
2. Protect your fuel oil tank
Many people don’t know that warm weather can be damaging to oil tanks. When it gets warm, condensation can build up inside your oil tank and cause it to corrode from the inside out. Since this damage isn’t visible, you won’t know about the problem until it’s too late and you’re dealing with a leak. You can avoid this by keeping your tank full so that there is no space for condensation to collect in your tank.
3. Take advantage of low oil prices
Oil prices are lower than they have been in a long time. Top off your tank now while heating oil is so affordable. Worst-case scenario? You don’t have to use your heat again until the fall and you’ll have plenty of fuel for the first chill of autumn.
4. Easily order online
Online ordering isn’t new for Charity Oil, but we understand the greater demand for online purchasing. Our online ordering system is available to you 24/7. Simply create your free account, log in from your computer or smart device, and order heating oil in just a few minutes.
