Fuel Delivery Options
Automatic Delivery
For greatest heating convenience, choose Automatic Delivery. By means of our computerized Degree Day system, we anticipate your fuel use and deliver automatically when you need fuel. Deliveries are based on the outside temperature and your past purchase history-which we assume to be typical of your use. Usually, once Automatic Delivery and your pattern of use are established, there's no need to call. Important exceptions are spelled out below. Please read carefully.
With Automatic Delivery, running out of fuel is extremely unlikely. Should you run out of fuel due to our error, delivery will be made at any time, at no additional cost.
We require ten days written notice to start or end Automatic Delivery, to keep everyone on the same page. If you begin Automatic Delivery as a new customer, it will be indicated on your Welcome Letter. Automatic Delivery requires credit and delivery approval.
Exceptions to your usual use require attention, if you are on Automatic Delivery. If there are changes in your consumption-an increase or decrease-- it is your responsibility to notify us. Using more or less fuel can cause a run-out, or even a tank over-fill. These problems can be costly-and would be your responsibility. Here are some things that can affect consumption:
The addition of a new room or rooms
Change in the household-a retirement, an elderly parent, or new baby
Installing or removing an oil-fired hot water tank
Going on an extended winter vacation
Moving out of your home
We can adjust deliveries to reflect your new use, in many cases. But if your consumption will remain inconsistent, you should not be on Automatic Delivery.
Automatic Delivery is not recommended in certain circumstances, where fuel use in unpredictable. You should not be on Automatic if:
You use a heat pump, wood burner, or other alternate heat source
You do not live in the residence full-time: it's a summer home or seasonal camp
Will-Call Delivery
With Will-Call Delivery, customers watch their tanks and call when delivery is needed. We pride ourselves on delivering quickly. Some people prefer Will-Call Delivery to better control the timing or amount of delivery.
If you have an alternate heat source, such as a wood burner or heat pump, Will-Call Delivery is recommended. If you are planning to move, or don't live in your home for extended periods, you should be on Will-Call. With Will-Call Delivery:
Base price starts at 100 gallons. Delivery under 100 gallons incurs a delivery fee.
After hours emergency delivery is made at an additional charge.
About Choice and Service
Heating with oil is not like heating with natural gas or electricity, because you are not dealing with a big utility. You own your supply. You control when and how much you buy at one time. Most importantly, you have a choice of suppliers. Most oil companies are small businesses run by independent distributors. You can make your purchase decisions based on the service you receive, as well as the price.
Customer service has long been the "calling card" of Martin Oil Company. We take it very seriously. We also strive to meet your needs as fully as possible, so we offer many service and payment options. Many oil companies come and go. We've been in business since 1962. Customer service, and sound business practices, are the reasons why.
About Home Heating Systems and Tanks
There are basically two types of oil heating systems: hot air and hot water. A hot air furnace forces heated air through ducts to registers or vents. A hot water boiler pumps hot water through baseboard pipes. Either type of system benefits from an annual cleaning and tune-up. This keeps the system's efficiency up, and costs down. Oil heat is also frequently used in conjunction with a heat pump, as heat pumps tend to be inefficient at colder temperatures. Always use a professional service company and have your tank serviced regularly.
The typical home heating oil tank is 275 gallons. The functional capacity is considered to be 250 gallons. Sometimes two tanks are piped together, giving a capacity of 500 gallons. Some properties have larger capacity. The typical delivery is 150 gallons or more.
Tanks inside a house - usually in the basement --- can use regular heating oil. Tanks that are outside require heating oil with a winterizing additive, to prevent it from gelling.
Some residential heating oil tanks are buried underground. These are generally of 1,000 gallon capacity. Underground tanks can use regular heating oil. Only tanks that are larger than 1,100 gallons are regulated by the PA Department of Environmental Protection.
Tanks and heating systems generally have a long life. It is your responsibility to examine your tank, piping, and heating system, and to see that all are properly installed and maintained.
