The temperatures are finally starting to drop, which means fall heating oil delivery requests are starting to rise.

Keep reading this blog to learn why scheduling your pre-winter oil delivery with Bursaw Gas & Oil now can offer you so many benefits.
Top Reasons to Schedule Your Heating Oil Delivery Before Winter in MA
Prevent a Potential No-Heat Emergency
Massachusetts winters can bring dangerously low temperatures, and running out of heating oil in the middle of a cold spell can quickly turn into an emergency. Without heating, your family or employees’ health and safety may be at risk, especially for children, older adults, and pets.
If you are a will-call customer, we suggest calling to schedule a delivery when your tank is ¼ full to ensure you have enough fuel remaining until your delivery. Automatic delivery customers don’t need to worry about calling because our experts will use degree-day calculations to accurately estimate when you will need a fill before scheduling a delivery for you. Automatic customers with heat pumps and woodstoves should keep an extra eye on their gauge, as this does affect the degree-day calculation and can affect the frequency of deliveries.
Avoid Delays
Winter is the busiest time of year for heating oil companies. When demand surges, delivery slots fill up fast, and unpredictable New England weather can make getting on their schedule even harder. By planning ahead, you can secure a convenient delivery time before routes get backed up.
Protect Your Property, Equipment, and Wallet
A heating oil runout can do more harm than you might think. Allowing your tank to run dry can not only lead to frozen pipes and associated costly repairs, but it can also cause serious damage to your heating system. Restarting your system often requires a professional service call, which is an additional expense on top of the potential emergency delivery fees.
Stay Ahead of Market Fluctuations
Heating oil prices can vary depending on demand, supply, and global market conditions. Scheduling fall oil delivery service helps you avoid the uncertainty of last-minute price changes and ensures you’re not forced to fill your tank when costs are at their highest.
Enjoy Peace of Mind
The best reason to schedule early is to know you’re prepared. With an autumn heating oil delivery on the books well in advance, you can rest easy knowing your reliable fuel provider will fill your tank and you will be ready for whatever weather comes next.
