While going about our daily lives, it is common to forget to carry out little tasks like checking and refueling your oil tanks. The oil tank then catches us off guard as it runs out of fuel, causing us to scramble around to secure the next refuel.

During winter, most people often can’t keep up with regular checks on their heating oil storage tank. Also, they do not want to deal with the troubles and struggles of running out of fuel when winter comes. Unfortunately, Unless you have an automatic heating oil delivery, there is a high chance of this happening.

Automatic fuel oil delivery is a practical and straightforward service. With this system, it is your supplier who manages your fuel oil stock remotely while you relax at the comfort of your home, getting warmth all winter long.

HOW AUTOMATIC HEATING OIL DELIVERY WORKS 

Basically, with the use of software, the heating oil usage would be estimated based on past usage and current weather condition. Also, for new customers, estimation is by the local average for homes of similar sizes. 

When the oil in your tank diminishes, delivery is scheduled automatically without a call or text from you.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTOMATIC DELIVERY AND WILL CALL 

With will call, the onus is on you to continually monitor the oil gauge all winter long and make calls when it’s almost empty. 

A Significant disadvantage of this is that you could quickly lose track of the quantity of oil left. You would also have to deal with the struggles of fuel scarcity and increased fuel prices.

But with an automatic delivery system, a monthly subscription is all that is needed to keep track of your oil usage.
