How do you get your Home Heating Oil and/or Propane


 For many homeowners life seems to get busier and busier without there ever being anymore time in the day. While at the same token some of us have a large amount of time and enjoy convenience. Other like to manage all aspects of their life. There are two types of home heating oil delivery that cater to these types of people.
Will Call, this is for those who like to be in control of everything or just simply like to know exactly when they will be getting an oil delivery.  Many people who use will call for delivery try to plan out when to order oil in relationship with the market. While this can certainly work sometimes, for the most part trying to predict the market is unreliable. Take a look at the market over the last two years, you'll see prices ranging from $4+ to $2+ to below $2.  From November of 2014 to February of 2015 to March of 2015 there were steep price decreases, then a sudden price increase due the cold weather freezing the bays in the Northeast, then a steep decrease again.  While you can keep an eye on your tank gauge and try to time your deliveries on a low price day, the next day may be more or less.  You may not be able to hold off if you are in need of a deliver and you have to schedule a few days after a price increase because you were hoping it would drop.

 This principle also applies to Automatic Delivery's biggest compliant, you timed my delivery on a high price day.   Automatic delivery takes away the worry of trying to time your deliveries and the hassle of keeping an eye on your tank gauge. Auto delivery with a good company will provide you with year round comfort that you won't run out of fuel when you need it in the deep of winter or in the warm of summer. If you're a current will call customer or a automatic delivery customer, your heating company will know how much oil you burn a season based on the temperature. This allows them to plan out your deliveries before you need based on the condition of the season.  The most important goal of a heating company is to keep their customers warm and comfortable all season long. Over years or decades it is very possible that you may get a delivery of oil when the price was high only to see it drop the next day, however there may be many times when the opposite has happened.

 If you want to make sure that you'll always have home heating oil when you need it, then automatic delivery is the way to go for your home heating needs. If planning things out on your own and hoping for the lowest price then will call may be your better way to go.

The C-Wire

By
Smart Thermostats almost always require them. The internet of things is on the rise and one of the easiest and most useful applications of this is the smart thermostat. Popular smart thermostats that come to mind at the Nest, Ecobee, and the Honeywell Lyric most of these and other smart thermostats that come with WiFi. Installing these thermostats can be tricky due to the C-Wire or Common Wire. For thermostat installations you need to have a set of wires that run from your heating and/or cooling system to your thermostat(s). In instances where you just have a boiler or furnace without the ability to cool you see a thermostat with just two wires, red and white. If you have a cooling system with your heating system you'll most commonly find the thermostats using 4 wires. If you add a smart thermostat you're going to need a fifth wire, the c-wire. C-wires help delivery more power to the thermostat to power the Wi-Fi functions. Adding this wire can be difficult as it requ...

La Nina Summer

By
We Could Experience much Warmer Temps this Summer Last year and even the year before that we talked about El Nino and boy did it come, we saw one of the mildest winters this past winter. Now what, El Nino is the warming of the waters in the pacific, but what happens after the water has warmed? After the warm has warmed, it naturally cools off this is called La Nina. Traditionally La Nina follows El Nino's and present the opposite effects of El Nino. Of course La Nina don't always follow El Nino's, in the past we've seen El Nino's that extend into the next winter or La Nina's that extend for several years. For this year most weather outlets are predicting that we'll see a La Nina arrive around Fall or Winter. To understand what we might see this summer we have to look at last year. For 2015 we didn't see the real El Nino until mid fall and it continued through mid winter, but its effects were seen during the summer.  It brought us unseas...

Wi-Fi and Programmable thermostat

By
Control your Home Comfort with a Programmable Thermostat This past week I bought a wifi thermostat to replace the programmable thermostat that controls the first floor of my home. During installation I found out that currenting wiring is not compatible with my new wifi thermostat. This is going to become a common issue issue as wifi thermostats become cheaper and more common in homes.  The big question is what is the difference between a programmable thermostat and a wifi thermostat and what is the benefit. Programmable thermostats are a great way to help you save on your energy usage and tailor your heating and cooling to your needs.  Most programmable thermostats allow you to schedule a week schedule with 4 time point throughout each day. This allows you to schedule when your heat or cooling will turn on for during the weekdays and the weekends and at what time each day. The best times for the schedule to run would be before you wake up, when you leave for work, before...
