Fuel Oil Delivery

Whether you are new to fuel oil delivery or have requested it before, there are a few things Patriot Discount Oil asks our customers to do before the fuel oil delivery truck arrives.  By following this simple checklist, our customers will ensure their oil delivery is delivered in a safe and timely manner.

Patriot Discount Oil’s Fuel Oil Delivery Checklist

• Check Oil Tank Levels – When requesting a fuel oil delivery, it is best to note the tank level as Patriot Discount Oil requires a 150-gallon minimum for delivery. For a standard 275-gallon oil tank, an ideal time to order heating oil would be between 1/4 and 3/8 of a tank. This would ensure that 150 gallons could fit in the tank while allowing the dispatch department enough time for delivery where you are not at risk of running out of oil.
• Check Oil Tank – As the owner of a fuel oil tank, it is best to be pro-active and perform regular tank checks in order to handle any noticeable problem areas before they become bigger issues. A basic tank check should note any large rust or wet spots, cracks, drips around filters, valves or other fittings. If any of the above is observed, a call to a heating and service repair company may be required.
• Clear Driveways – We kindly request that your driveway be clear of any ice and snow on your requested fuel oil delivery day. This request ensures our large delivery trucks can maneuver safely on your property. Please keep in mind due to size, our fuel oil delivery trucks require at least a 9-foot-wide plowed driveway to deliver your heating oil safely.
• Ensure Access – Whether your oil tank is outside or inside, please ensure our fuel oil delivery drivers have easy access to your oil tank to prevent any delivery delays.

What Affects The Price of Heating Oil in New Jersey?

Many factors can affect the price of heating oil throughout New Jersey.  As with crude oil, the price of heating oil will fluctuate regularly based on market conditions which include inventory levels, supply and demand, the stock market, and the global economy.

The Demand for Heating Oil is Seasonal

During the winter months—October through March—home heating oil prices tend to rise as the demand for heating oil is at its highest, but although common, this is not always the case. On average New Jersey homeowners can expect to use approximately 750-1,000 gallons of oil during the winter whereas, in the spring, summer, and fall; one tank may last for four to five months.

Operating Costs Vary

The cost of oil delivery in New Jersey can vary affecting heating oil prices. The simple cost of gasoline or diesel, truck maintenance, and labor can cause an increase in your heating oil bill.

Crude Oil Price Changes

Oil prices in New Jersey change as frequently as crude oil prices worldwide.  Did you know the price of heating oil generally follows crude oil prices?  The cost for crude oil refiners to produce heating oil and the costs to distribute and deliver heating oil will all play a part in how much you pay for oil. Additionally, as with supply and demand, the worldwide economy and weather can affect oil prices in New Jersey.

To Ensure You Get the Most Out of Your Heating Oil, Patriot Discount Oil Recommends:

• General maintenance and servicing be completed on an annual basis.
• Homeowners should caulk and apply weather stripping to windows and doors.
• Ensure your home has the correct amount of insulation in the attic and walls.
• Reduce thermostat temperature settings, especially when the area being heated is vacant.

Running Out of Home Heating Oil 

Did you forget to order your home heating oil?  If so, forgetting to order heating oil has a few consequences more than just running out of hot water or a cold house. Maybe your home heating oil ran out quicker than you expected, or you simply just forgot to reorder.  Either way, Patriot Discount Oil can help. Although it is best not to let your heating system run out of oil it is not the end of the world.

Service and Heating Repair

It is 5:00 am, and outside the temperature is 15 degrees. Before bed, you felt warm, but now you can almost see your breath. It is freezing! This scenario can happen to anyone at any time.  Preventative maintenance and repairs to your heating system can ensure your equipment is fully functioning and ready for the winter season. Patriot Discount Oil’s primary focus is to deliver heating oil at a discount rate and does not offer heating repair services, however, we do understand the importance of prompt heating repair service should it be necessary.
