Best of Central Mass

What does it mean to be the best?

On December 1st the Telegram & Gazette, a local newspaper here in Worcester held it's first Best of Central Mass awards. These awards covered several different categories from best restaurant, to best university, to best home store, to best heating and cooling company, and many more.  What does it mean to be the best though?

For each category it could mean something different but when you're voted on by the residents of the region then it means that you're doing something right.  People and more importantly customers know your name and know that you do something better than others that do the same thing as you.

For the winner of the Heating and Cooling Company, ckSmithSuperior it means that they provide a needed service to thousands of homeowners and businesses in Central Mass better than dozens of others.  The competition, pun intended is hot in Central Mass for heating and cooling companies. With a lot of companies providing it hard to pick out who does it the best when at the end of the day the oil or propane that is delivered is the same.  So what makes ckSmithSuperior better than it's competitors?

Attention to detail would be a good way to sum it up. Details from how a phone call is handled to cleaning up after an install to catch small issues found during preventative maintenance. People expect that you will provide them with the basic service your business provides, like heating oil or propane. Price is another that while doesn't make a company the best or not but how that price is validated. If customers feel like they are paying too much for the service you certainly won't be viewed as the best. When you provide services that customers value along with attention to detail, this is a recipe for being the best.

The staff at ckSmithSuperior would like to thank those who voted for them for the Best of Central.

How do you pick your heating company?

What do you fact the most price, service, or reputation? After last winter the thing that anyone wants to hear is that it's going to be cold and snowy again this year.  With the current price of oil pretty low as October 7, 2014 do other factors start to effect your decision to stay with your current provider or jump ship and shop around. The first and most prevalent factor that goes into to picking your heating provider is the price per gallon. With COD or cash on delivery companies the price can be fairly low right now if you visit NewEngland Oil  you'll notice several companies with prices in the low $3.00 range.  The down side with those companies is a lack of a service department. If you're heating system fails in the middle of a cold snap they don't have the staff to come out and fix it.  If price is the most important factor to you, make sure that you're heating system is in good condition or you might have more than the price of fuel to worry about. ...

Annual Maintenance

For a long lasting, energy efficient heating system, annual maintenance is a must. Every year you get an inspection for your vehicle to make sure that everything is running as it should so small issues don't become big problems.  Every so many miles you get a oil change, tire rotation, and have the air pressure checked in your tires. This is to ensure that your car stays at a peck level of operation, the same goes for a long lasting, energy efficient heating system. Annual maintenance, annual tune-up, or any of the other names that all mean having your heating system looked at is the easiest way to ensure that your heating system is running properly and will continue to run.  These type of service allows for a trained technician to thoroughly look over all of the components in your heating system, especially the burner. The burner is where the fuel that is used to heat your home is compressed into a fine mist that is then bur...
