If you’re one of our will-call customers, you’re responsible for tracking your heating oil usage and contacting us to request a delivery. You might be tempted to wait for winter to fill your heating oil tank, but now is a good time to fill your tank. Keep reading to find out why.

Here are a few reasons now is a good time to fill your heating oil tank for the winter:

1. You’ll avoid winter prices. The price of heating oil tends to go up with the higher demand of the winter months. Order now to save money by getting your heating oil at a better price.
2. Convenient delivery times. With demand less in the autumn months, scheduling your heating oil delivery will be easier as well. You should have more options for delivery times now than you will in the winter when everyone is ordering oil at the same time.
3. It could be a cold fall. It’s best not to try and guess when you’ll need heating oil. The weather has been known to have a few surprises up its sleeves. What if it’s a cold autumn? You don’t want to get caught without enough heating oil if the colder weather sets in earlier than expected. Better to fill your heating oil tank now and be ready no matter when the cold comes.
4. It’s good for your heating oil system. A full heating oil tank is a happy heating oil tank. When the heating oil level gets too low moisture can build up in the tank and lead to corrosion. Additionally, you can get build-up in the fuel lines. Both of those will decrease the life expectancy of your heating system or increase the likelihood of needing to pay for repairs. So keeping your heating oil tank full saves you money on repair and replacement costs.
