It’s Spring – time to clear the path to your oil fill pipe!
If you’re thinking this is a typographical error, it isn’t. We ask you now because after the brutal winter weather we’ve just experienced in Greater Boston, sticks and branches, pebbles and rocks, dead leaves, and other debris could block the way to your fill pipe.
Also, please sweep, rake, and pick up anything in your driveway or walkway so that our technicians can access your home safely, if needed. Thank you for your cooperation!
Four more important spring tips
After you’ve cleared the path to your fill pipe, here are four more spring tips from North Shore Fuel:
- Refill your heating oil tank: Refilling your heating oil tank in spring prevents internal tank corrosion, sludge buildup, and costly repairs caused by moisture condensation during warmer months. If you are on automatic delivery, we take care of this for you.
- Check your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors: This will help to prevent malfunctions, as sensors can age or batteries can die, leaving you unprotected.
- Call us to schedule preventative maintenance (a tune-up) for your heating system: It could lower your Bioheat® fuel bills by 10 or more! If you enrolled in any of our three service plans, your tune-up is included.
- Get a professional duct cleaning (for warm air systems): Duct cleaning improves indoor air quality by removing dust and allergens, and also helps your HVAC system operate more efficiently – potentially lowering energy bills and extending system lifespan.
By following these steps, you will enjoy maximum comfort and peace of mind. And don’t forget to call us soon, at 781-286-3030, to schedule your tune-up!
