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. |
|
