Help us with your heating oil deliveries this winter and early spring

Weather can be pretty unpredictable these days – here we are just weeks away from spring, but don’t forget that we got more than 20” of snow from a Nor’easter right around this time last year.

Unpredictable weather keeps a heating oil delivery company like ours on its toes as our crews dig in to deliver the fuel that keeps your family and the rest of our customers warm and safe, and to maintain a fleet that’s ready for any challenge that comes our way.

We’re pretty good at meeting those challenges – especially when we get some help from you. How can you play your part in keeping NY families warm and safe? By helping us in three ways:

• Clear a path to your fill pipe – If it snows, please try to keep at least a 12-inch path to your heating oil fill pipe clear so we can access it quickly and safely.
• Clear your driveway – Maneuvering a delivery truck on a steep driveway can be challenging under ideal circumstances – but when there’s ice on that driveway, it can be impossible (if it’s not safe to apply wheel chocks – the angled blocks we put under the wheels to prevent the truck from rolling backwards, the law prevents us from delivering your fuel). Please keep your driveway clear if you anticipate a heating oil delivery!
• Call when your tank is no less than one-quarter full – When heating oil is in high demand, our delivery crews get quite busy – which means it’s harder for us to accommodate instant requests. Please don’t wait until the last minute for fuel – call when your tank is no less than one quarter full. If you need some help deciding how much fuel to order, why not try our handy heating oil calculator?

Thanks as always for your business, and for helping us keep the heating oil coming when you need it most!

Did you know that we speed up our delivery schedule when severe weather is forecast so we can get extra delivery runs in ahead of the storm? It’s just one more way Valley Oil delivers for you.
