Thinking about heating system upgrades

Originally published August, 2016

If your heating system is over 20-years old, chances are that it is performing at less than 80-percent efficiency. In fact, the older a heating system is, the less efficient they tend to be. You should be planning to replace your old system for three important reasons:
 
  1. It is costing you money.
  2. It could cause you headaches.
  3. There are great rebates and loan programs available.
 
About Crowley Fuel Company’s installation team:
 
  • We give our customers the best value for their heating system upgrade.
  • We install the most efficient, reliable and serviceable equipment at reasonable prices.
  • We stand behind our work with a free three-year service contract to customers who buy their heating oil exclusively from Crowley Fuel.
  • We are certified installers for most brands of boilers and furnaces. We recommend the installation of:
    • Biasi low-mass, triple-pass, cast-iron boilers that are 87-percent efficient with a lifetime warranty on the heat exchanger
    • Williamson warm-air furnaces that are 86-percent efficient with a 10-guage steel heat exchanger. There is a limited lifetime warranty on the heat exchanger.
 
MassSave has some great rebate and loan programs for homeowners who buy their electricity from a participating electric company such as National Grid. You pay into this fund every month through an Energy Efficiency Charge at the rate of .01624 per kWh, so you might as well get some benefit from all the money you’ve been paying all of these years! I recommend a visit to masssave.com to learn more about how you can take advantage of these programs.
 
MassSave also offers rebates for air-source heat pumps such as the Mitsubishi system that Crowley Fuel installs. If you are planning to have a wall-mount AC/heat pump system installed, be sure to check MassSave and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) for rebates on their Air-source Heat Pump Program (ASHP). Go to [email protected], or give me a call for more information.
 
You can also call me for a free consultation and information that will help you make important decisions about heating your home efficiently and reliably.

Quaboag Current article

6/26/2018

Originally published February, 2016

​We recently had a reporter from Turley Publications come to our office to interview and take pictures for a story about Crowley Fuel that ran in the February 5, 2016 edition of the Quaboag Current.
 
The Quaboag Current staff writer, Sloane Perron, wrote an excellent article that told the story of Crowley Fuel, past and present. She did not fail to mention that we have been serving the heating needs of area residents for over 95 years!
 
Looking back at past success and family tradition is a satisfying thing to do, and it does give you the strength and confidence to go forward into a whole new world of heating technology. But, in order to get to the 100-year celebration mark that we are beginning to think about, we do not spend too much time thinking about the past. But we do honor the past and those who have kept the fires burning over all of those years by doing the best we can in the present day.
 
You may have heard, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Well, it takes a team to offer all of the products and services that Crowley Fuel currently offers. We have added wood pellets, wood pellets stoves, wood pellet boilers and air-sourced heat pumps to provide heating and cooling. Our staff has been getting training in these new services, and we have plans to become trained and licensed to provide service in more heating systems in the future. Our goal is to become a total energy company.
 
In closing, I need to point out that there is one error in the article. The paragraph located in the middle of the story that starts, “In addition to heating oil, Crowley Fuel sells six varieties of wood-pellet stoves and repairs them,” is incorrect. We sell one variety of pellet stove, Wolf Steel (Napoleon and Timberwolf models) and six varieties of wood pellets: New England, Purcell, Spruce Point, Okanagan Gold, Okanagan Platinum and Okanagan Douglas Fir.
