For more than 85 years, North Shore Fuel has been the go-to provider for families across the Greater Boston Area, helping you stay warm and comfortable during our frigid New England winters. Throughout our decades of service, we have learned a few valuable tips and tricks to help our customers get through the coldest months of the year with ease.
- Enroll in Automatic Delivery
Avoid the hassle of checking fuel levels and scheduling deliveries by enrolling in Automatic Delivery. We use a degree-day tracking system along with your past fuel usage to predict when you will need your next delivery, so you do not have to lift a finger! - Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat
If you have not yet, consider installing a smart thermostat. Our iComfort® S30 Smart Thermostat allows you to monitor and adjust temperatures from anywhere with your smartphone or tablet. The days of wasting energy on heating an empty home are over with the iComfort® S30 Smart Thermostat! - Inspect and Change Furnace Filters
A clogged air filter can force your heating system to work harder than necessary, reducing efficiency. Changing out old filters improves air quality and helps your furnace run smoothly. If you need assistance with this, give us a call. - Seal Drafts Around Doors and Windows
Small gaps around doors and windows can let cold air in, forcing your heating system to work overtime. Seal those drafts with weatherstripping or caulking to keep the warmth where it belongs—inside. Review our list of cold weather conservation tips for more ways to save at home during winter. - Schedule a Service Call
