When the sun is shining and the last thing on your mind is switching the heating on, it might feel strange to be thinking about domestic heating oil. But here at Quad Fuels, we’ve seen time and again that the households and farms who plan ahead during the warmer months are the ones who save the most money, and the most hassle, when winter comes around.
Avoid The Winter Rush
Anyone who’s ever needed an emergency delivery during a cold spell knows how stressful it can be. When temperatures fall, more and more people call up with urgent top-up requests. While we always do our best to get fuel to every customer quickly, demand and bad weather can sometimes cause delays.
By topping up your heating tank while the weather’s warm and the roads are clear, you avoid the winter rush altogether, giving you peace of mind that when you need the heating on, you’re covered.
Spot Problems Before They Become an Emergency
Booking a top-up in the summer is also a good opportunity to check your oil tank. When did you last have it inspected? Is there any sign of leaks or corrosion? Is your gauge working properly?
A small problem left unnoticed can quickly become a major headache in winter. By checking now, when you’re not depending on the heating, you have time to fix any issues without worrying about sitting in the cold.
