Worried about high fuel prices? 

We're WITH you!

When trying to stretch your heating dollars, please make safety your #1 priority. 

Be Prepared… Be Safe!

• Don’t run out of fuel. This puts your family and property at great risk, and results in a fee to restart your burner. If Automatic Delivery is not an option for you, please call us to schedule a delivery when your tank is about 1/3 to 1/4 full, and allow up to 3 days for delivery. Please don’t wait until your tank is empty to call!
  
• Get on CMP early in the season, and make your payments every month. If CMP is not an option for you, make smaller monthly “pre-payments” to ensure future deliveries. We will help you develop a payment strategy that works for you.
  
• Carefully follow manufacturers’ instructions for all types of heating equipment.
  
• When using an alternative heat source, only use appliances that are approved for home heating.
  
• Never use a stove, oven, grill, or any other cooking appliance to heat your home.
  
• Never bring a propane tank into your house, except as instructed for a portable propane heater.
  
• Place portable heaters on a flat surface, at least three feet away from anything flammable.
  
• Keep children and animals away from portable heaters.
  
• Never leave a candle or portable heater unattended. Turn them off before going to sleep.
  
• Avoid using extension cords with electric heaters.
  
• Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home.
  
• Be sure there is a working smoke alarm on every level of your home.
  
• Have fireplace chimneys cleaned before use, and use a screen large and heavy enough to stop sparks and rolling logs.
  
• Have a working fire extinguisher in your home.
  
• Make sure everyone knows at least two ways out of every part of the home, including sleeping areas.
