FAQs
Q. I always seem to pay 75% of my heating bills during December, January and February. Is there a way to keep my payments more stable?
A. When you sign up for your local OHASJ heating oil dealer's budget plan, you can gain more control over your budget and say goodbye to unexpected high energy bills. A budget plan takes your yearly fuel costs and divides them into equal monthly payments. So, no matter what happens to the weather or to energy prices, you'll have the peace of mind and convenience of knowing exactly what your oil heat payments are each month during the heating season. At the end of season, your account is reconciled to reflect actual usage and price.
Q. My system is about twenty years old and still working pretty well. Why should I consider an upgrade?
A. Studies show older oil heat equipment is not as efficient as more modern units. Replacing an old, inefficient system with a modern oil heat system can reduce heating bills by approximately 40%. A new, compact, high-efficiency oil heat system will also pay for itself over a short period of time.
Q. Are there low cost heating oil tank programs available?
A. Yes. Contact your local oil heat dealer for details.
Q. Where does heating oil come from?
A. There are over 36 oil-producing countries. The U.S. is not overly dependent on any one region for our supply. More than 40% of our crude oil comes from the U.S. Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia are our other main suppliers. The world’s total proven reserves of crude oil are about 10% higher than they were in 1980. We are finding oil faster than we are burning it. This makes oil a dependable heating fuel of choice.
