Blizzards and Oil levels below half full!

Well, it’s happened again this year! Winter waited until nearly spring to send us our only blizzard of the season. And our phones have been ringing off the hook with customers who want to get their oil tanks filled before the storm hits. We were ready for them this year. We saw this one coming for nearly a week and took care of our automatic-delivery customers so we could give our will-call customers the service that they wanted (whether they needed it or not).
 
As a reminder, my December 2, 2016 blog “Bank and Tank” explains why customers should wait until they are at a quarter-tank on their gauge before ordering another delivery. They still have nearly 75-gallons in their tank to use before they run out. That’s a one- to two-week supply for most homes.
The customers that we need to hear from when a snow storm is approaching are customers whose driveways go up or downhill. It can be very dangerous for an oil truck to go into a driveway that isn’t on the level. A standard oil truck does not have four-wheel drive and, believe it or not, are not the best vehicles in the snow. We appreciate will-call customers who call us several days before a storm or after the storm when their driveway is clear.
The best way to deal with this oil-ordering and driveway-clearing problem is to call us to set yourself up as an automatic-delivery customer, and leave the responsibility to us. It doesn’t cost any more for automatic delivery and makes your life a little bit easier. Click, or call us today.

I also love winter season. You can still do a lot of things during winter.
