8 Ways to Lower Your Home Heating Oil Bill

If you’ve been shopping around for a home heating oil company on Long Island but keep coming up empty, head to OK Petroleum! For more than 40 years, this family-owned and operated fuel oil company has been keeping Long Island homeowners warm with their high-quality, affordable, and convenient heating oil services. It’s hard to find a company that has such an excellent track record of success and such an extensive list of satisfied customers!

While oil is the safest, most efficient, and most affordable way to heat your home, heating oil prices can still be exorbitant. If you’re concerned about the bills you’ll soon be getting, keep on reading to find out how you can lower the cost of your home heating oil.

Keep the Thermostat Low

To cut your home heating oil bills, set your thermostat so that it’s no higher than 68 degrees when you’re home. When you’re out, set it lower. According to Energy.gov, lowering your thermostat 10 to 15 degrees lower for a span of 8 hours each day, you can see a savings of 5 to 15 percent on your oil bill each year!

Upgrade to Programmable

While we’re on the topic of thermostats, installing a programmable one is another simple, yet highly effective way to lower your heating bills. A programmable thermostat will help you manage your temperature settings throughout the day; for example instead of having to manually adjust the setting before you leave for work in the morning, you can program the thermostat so that it automatically turns down right after you head out and turns back up right before you return home.

A programmable thermostat is easy to install and will help your home heating system run more efficiently, which can translate to some serious savings.

Bundle Up

Sweaters, blankets, and big fluffy socks are another excellent – and easy – way to lower your heating bill. Instead of pumping the heat and burning through oil, pull on a sweater, put on some socks, and wrap yourself up in a throw blanket to stay nice and cozy.

Use a Humidifier

The relative humidity inside your home can make a huge difference in the comfort level. For example, when the air is dry, 68 degrees can feel rather chilly; however, when it’s moist, the same temperature can feel quite comfortable. That’s because humid air holds heat better than dry air.

Bringing in a humidifier will help the air inside your home feel a lot warmer, which will help you avoid the temptation to pump up the heat.

Clean Your Furnace

A properly maintained furnace runs more efficiently. Check the filter on your furnace regularly (at least once a month) and replace it when it’s dirty. Your furnace won’t have to work as hard, which means it won’t burn through as much oil. Obviously, the less oil you use, the lower your heating oil bills will be.

Upgrade Your Insulation

Check your insulation and make sure that it’s between 10 and 14 inches thick. If it’s any thinner, you could be losing a significant amount of heated air. To keep that air trapped in – and cut down on your consumption (and oil bills), upgrade your insulation so that it can resist heat flow more effectively.

Bleed the Radiators

If there’s a buildup of air in your heating system, you’re going to burn through a lot of oil to heat up the radiators. Bleeding your radiators at least twice a year can help your heating system run more efficiently, reduce the amount of oil you burn through, and save you a nice chunk of change on your heating oil bills.

Buy in Bulk

Last but not least, consider buying your oil in bulk. When you by bulk, you could get a nice discount on the price. Just make sure that you keep a close watch on your oil tank’s gauge and don’t wait until you’re dangerously low to order; if you do, you could run out of oil and get stuck paying extra fees for an emergency delivery.

By implementing this eight simple, yet highly effective tips, you could see a big drop in your home heating oil bills. Of course, you should also make sure that you are ordering your oil from a reputable fuel oil provider that charges reasonable prices. For the most affordable home heating oil prices on Long Island, contact OK Petroleum. They’ll help you stay warm – and save money!


Some information about Massapequa Park, NY

Massapequa Park is a village and hamlet located within the town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. The population was 17,008 at the 2010 census. Areas south and east of the village borders are considered the hamlet of Massapequa Park because they are under the jurisdiction of the Town of Oyster Bay rather than the village. The hamlet shares the same zip code, fire department and school district as the village.

The village located on the South Shore of Long Island shares the early Native American history of Massapequa. Then, in the 19th century, families of German descent relocated from Brooklyn to what is now Massapequa Park, and the resulting community was known as Wurtenberg or Stadtwurtemburg. The main attraction and center of activity was the Woodcastle Hotel, a rooming house built in 1868 on Front Street next to the fire department as a summer resort. It was destroyed by fire in 1952 and replaced by houses.

In 1928 readers of The New York Times saw ads for Massapequa Park, a development built by a real estate firm owned by Michael J. Brady, Frank Cryan and Peter Colleran. The three Irish-Americans described their project as having a bit of Old Erin and the area between Sunrise Highway and Merrick Road still has its mostly Irish street names.

In 1931, Massapequa Park was incorporated as a village to ensure control of land use and other issues. Several dozen kit houses from Sears Roebuck were built in two different areas of the Village. These include some of the largest model kit houses offered by Sears.
