HEATING OIL BASICS
What Is Heating Oil?
Heating oil is a refined petroleum product used primarily to heat residential and commercial buildings. It is valued for its efficiency and its ability to provide consistent warmth during colder weather.
Heating oil is stored in a tank at the property and delivered as needed by a professional fuel-delivery company.
- Used in residential and commercial heating systems
- Stored safely in an on-site fuel tank
- Provides strong and consistent heating performance
- Delivered directly to your home or business

How Often Should I Schedule a Delivery?
Delivery frequency depends on household usage and tank size. During winter, some homeowners may need a delivery every four to six weeks. Monitor your tank and order when it reaches approximately one-quarter full.
What Maintenance Is Required?
Annual heating-system inspections, leak checks, filter service, and routine tank monitoring help maintain dependable operation and efficiency.
HEATING OIL SAFETY
Is Heating Oil Safe?
Yes. Heating oil is considered safe when stored and handled properly. It is stable under normal conditions, and professional delivery teams follow safety protocols during every delivery.
Customers should still inspect their tank area periodically, watch for signs of leakage, and keep the fill and vent areas accessible.
- Professional drivers follow established delivery procedures
- Keep the tank, fill pipe, and vent area accessible
