Dang do I appreciate Poulsbo heating! I have an older (1960’s) oil furnace in Bremerton that would not start up…. I called another service company to come check it out…. They spent about 15min. working on it and could not get the furnace to fire. I was told the circuitry was bad and the...

I am a retired, disabled law enforcement officer, and I asked the two men if they could clean the pedastool that sits the water heater up off the garage floor. They did not bother cleaning it before installing, and I cannot do it myself. Anyone with responsbility in their character would have...

They were really good. The person who was to come was so busy because it was the beginning of summer, and so we couldn't get the heat pump which had been messed up by the other people who had come earlier. My husband's health was bad, and they came immediately. They said that they were booked...

They have great follow up. I was told by the owner that he didn't care if he got my business, as long as my heat exchanger was repaired. It was life or death, really, because carbon monoxide was leaking into my home. He even had to go purchase special equipment to test the amount of carbon...

FAQs for heating oil service projects in Payson, AZ

To buy heating oil for your house, contact local heating oil companies to compare prices and place an order once you decide on a supplier. The company will have to deliver your heating oil in a truck designed to carry and dispense heating oil safely. Call and order your heating oil early enough to have your oil delivered before you need to start using it for home heating.

On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.

You save money on heating oil in a few ways:

Make sure your home is well insulated and sealed against drafts and heat leakage.
Use a thermostat that’s working properly and calibrated accurately.
Increase energy efficiency by insulating your basement and attic.
Turn down your thermostat a few degrees.
Program your thermostat to lower the heat when you’re not home.
Order heating oil during the off-season when prices are likely to be lower.

Summer months tend to be when heating oil prices are lowest because of decreased demand. Buying heating oil during the off-season also prepares you for when the weather gets cold, and you need to start using the oil to heat your home. Although heating oil prices will fluctuate, it’s best to avoid purchasing between September and April, as that's the peak season for heating oil demand.

Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
