mY HOUSE IS PRETTY MUCH RUINED FROM THE PIPES BREAKING. iT IS DEAD OF WINTER AND I AM RELATIVELY HOMELESS FROM HEAT LOSS AND THERE IS STILL NO SIGN OF GROTE
Neighbors say the door is open with snow blowing in and workman have seemingly abandoned the project.
Matt came out and inspected our house on 4/10/2020 for a potential buyer. Not sure if he is racist and if that's why he gave us the most derogatory report! He came 20 minutes early when my husband and I were just leaving and my husband talked to him a little. My husband is Hispanic and has a...
Interior lighting and ceiliing fans installed professionally, and electrical sockets moved with no problems. After that, things went badly. Technician could not figure out how to run wiring from electrical panel to add three-way switch in garage to operate back yard lighting, and could not...
Worst company I have ever dealt with and the problem is still unresolved. They sent an incompetent technician out who could not find the problem and had the nerve to send me a bill for $80. No one ever called me, so I had to call their office and explain nothing was done to fix the problem....

Plumbers removed old leaking Hot Water Heater and replaced with a higher Capacity one. When the unit had issues, they got replacement parts over the counter from their supplier instead of waiting for the manufacturer to send. Overall a good, clean install. No Problems since.
They were so prompt, they wanted to come a day early. The water heater was installed perfectly by noon.
They installed a complete cooling and heating system. They worked quickly and efficiently. They removed an old fuel oil tank and even filled in the hole left in the outside wall from the pipe removal for the fuel oil. They ended up having to come back a second day to finish the install due...
Perry Electric A/C & Heating have always been very professional and they do a good job.
I like that they are very responsive. But do not like that they had to make 7 separate repair trips, in which they left a wire unplugged, and resulted in us not having heat during the winter. With our experience, we will not be using them again in the future.
I had high hopes for this place based on reviews here, but after getting auto service from them I have high suspicions they effectively utilize these rating services to draw in clients and pick and choose who they'll dupe next. My first hesitation is when they told me my car needed a tune up...
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.
