Heating oil pros in Powers
Frank’s Heating and Refrigeration has been established since 1988. Owner and service technician Frank Ormonde had worked many long hours when starting the business which was then known as Frank’s Refrigeration. Working out of his home for 2 years, Frank started installing and servicing restaurant equipment. As time progressed the business expanded to the heating industry adding valuable employees and moving into a larger office location. Frank’s Refrigeration then changed its name to Frank’s Heating and Refrigeration. Wanting to expand into our extended community in Curry County, Frank decided to add another location which is now known as Orca Heating and Refrigeration. With the two companies and many valuable employees, Frank now has the ability to provide the knowledge and comfort to both residential and commercial customers. Currently Frank’s Heating and Refrigeration and Orca Heating and Refrigeration are providing comfort and quality service to the Del Norte, Curry and Humboldt Counties.
"We evaluated all the HVAC companies here in Brookings, and are convinced ORCA is the most knowledgeable and professional company. Steve helped us evaluate the right heat pump system for this house, and got it -- and some strange extras we wanted -- at the right price. Fernando especially needs to be recognized as the most skilled and hard working installation guy around. All our questions and concerns were answered, the system was installed on time, under budget, with all rebates, and it's running great. We are totally satisfied customers."

FAQs for heating oil service projects in Powers, OR
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.
