Looking to save money while enjoying a warmer home in Long Island this winter? Here are 10 of the most sensible and cost-effective ways to do it, ranging from free fixes to long-term efficiency investments: Program your thermostat – You can save as much as 10 percent on your bills by setting your thermostat back 7°-10°F for 8 hours a day from its normal setting.

Most people have a lot on their mind these days – especially during the fall and winter, when school and family obligations can quickly fill our physical and mental calendars. With all that’s going on, it’s easy to forget about that little gauge on your heating oil tank – you know, the one that tells you whether or not you’re going to sleep in a warm house tonight. Being without heat during winter here in Suffolk County is not fun. But running out of heating oil can cause other problems, too: for example, getting down to the dregs of your […]
Heating oil has been a mainstay in American home heating since the 1920s (especially here in the Northeast), and for good reason: when you consider the cost of fuel and the durability of oil-fired heating equipment, it just may be the best heating value for your Long Island home. But how does heating oil stack up when it comes to safety? As it turns out, heating oil is probably your best bet on that score, too. The safety of heating oil starts with the properties of the fuel itself: unlike natural gas or propane, heating oil will not burn at […]
Fall and winter can be a pretty busy time of the year, filled with school and work commitments, and eventually, the holiday season. With all of that on your plate, the last thing you probably want to think about is the fuel gauge on your heating oil tank, or the phone call you will have to make to schedule your home heating oil delivery. Unfortunately, you will have to if you want to avoid a no-heat emergency, or other consequences of a fuel run-out – unless you choose automatic heating oil delivery from Southville Petroleum. Automatic delivery is available at no […]
Change isn’t always easy – Consider how you pay your bills, for example: if you have been paying for your heating oil deliveries with monthly checks, it would be easy to keep right on doing that – even if you find yourself scrambling every month to do it and occasionally suffering for that tardiness with a late fee. But there is a simple and more convenient way to pay the heating bill for your Nassau or Suffolk County home: Online billing from Southville Petroleum!

Heating season 2018/19 may not have been the most intense we’ve ever experienced here in Suffolk County, but what it lacked in intensity, it more than made up for in length, with temps dipping down into the upper 40s at night well into June. But as we know, this too will pass: sooner or later, you’ll be setting that thermostat for “cool” and welcoming in another Long Island beach season. Before that time comes, however, you might think about taking care of one last heating season task before donning to your swim suit: schedule service for your heating system. We’ve […]
Believe it or not, we’re creeping up on the first month of Summer 2019 here in Long Island, which means the worst of heating season 2018/2019 is behind us. It was certainly an up-and-down winter and spring weather-wise here in Long Island – and billing-wise, too, if you were a Southville Petroleum Will Call customer. But if you were a Southville Budget Plan customer, you avoided the billing rollercoaster altogether. That’s because our Budget Plan divides your annual heating bill into 11 equal installments (rather than four or five), with one adjustment bill (or credit) per year. The result? You’ll pay […]
April 22, 2019 will mark the 49th trip around the sun for Earth Day – an event conceived by Senator Gaylord Nelson as a teach-in for eco-friendly ideas that help reduce our impact on the planet. One of the most important ways to reduce our impact is to make smart choices about the way we heat our homes; the good news is that when you become a Southville Petroleum heating oil customer, you will be doing just that! That’s because as of July of last year, all heating oil delivered by Southville is ultra-low sulfur heating oil (ULSHO) with a […]
