In this post, we will give you some easy ways you can simplify your next heating season. Planning ahead will set you up for success, otherwise you may find yourself stressed out.  Furthermore, oil deliveries could seem like an unexpected expense each month and put a strain on your budget.  Additionally, you may be in summer mode and not used to paying attention to your oil gauge when all the sudden, you are out of oil again. For over 70 years, we have worked alongside their customers to find out what works best to help make heating season as easy as possible.

Below are our tips to help make your heating season stress free!

  1. Sign up for the Smart Budget Plan. With this plan, you make small monthly payments that build up a credit on your account in other words an oil savings account! These payments are calculated based on your oil usage and our estimate of the price of oil for the upcoming season. Then, each time you receive an oil delivery, the cost is deducted from your credit. As a result, you are saved from getting hit with large unexpected bills for your oil deliveries.
  2. Add a Cap to Your Account. The price cap is like an insurance policy for your oil rate. At Benvenuti, if the actual price of oil is lower than your locked in rate, you pay the lower rate. If the rate increases, you are capped at the price you locked in at. As a result, you will never pay more than your cap rate.
  3. Sign-up For Automatic Delivery. With automatic delivery, our system keeps track of when you need an oil delivery. Instead of watching your gauge and risking running out, let us take care of that for you! We will bring you oil when you need it. That will save you the headache of running out of oil in the middle night and paying fees for an emergency delivery. Learn More About Automatic Delivery
  4. Maintain Your Equipment. Make sure you are having your furnace or boiler tuned up each year. Proper maintenance of your heating equipment will help you avoid large service bills. As an added bonus- our automatic delivery customers get a discount on these services!
  5. Take Advantage of Technology. We have an online portal for our customers and an app. Use these to your advantage to review your account, pay bills, schedule deliveries(if you aren’t on automatic delivery), and more! Login To Your Account Here
