There are a lot of companies out there claiming to be “local” and community-driven but are not. Many of them were sold off in the last few years to bigger operations. The company names were left on the trucks and invoices, but the owner is a corporation with multiple so-called “local” companies under its umbrella. Once that happens, a lot of the local values start slipping. Customers start complaining about surprising price hikes on fuel costs or service contracts, changes to the terms of agreements, and staff that no longer put the customer first. Those companies have lost the tradition and history that made them special. We are truly local and have been part of the community for decades. Our office team, field staff, and sales representatives are your neighbors and friends from the surrounding area. We go to the same schools, shop in the same stores, and belong to the same civic organizations. Your concerns are our concerns and have been for a long, long time. That is what “truly local” means.

Last winter you kept your home just one step above “igloo” settings to use less fuel, because the year before you complained about every bill! Whether you use heating oil, propane, natural gas, or even electricity to heat your home, costs are rising. Make this the year you upgrade to new, higher-efficiency heating equipment. Don’t forget to ask us about available rebates and tax credits you may be eligible for, too!

“Building back better” with higher energy efficiency is top-of-mind these days, and property owners are looking for ways to cut costs. Many homes and offices were built when fuel oil cost around 10-cents a gallon and the cinderblock, brick, plaster and steel single-pane windows that made up the building envelope didn’t offer much protection from the elements. With energy prices going through the roof year after year, it makes sense to look at how a building can be improved to save energy.
Now that spring is here, we can all look forward to putting our heating systems into hibernation. It won’t be long before we hear the cooling hum of our air conditioners. But before we jump headfirst into the summer season, now is the time to get your home ready for the heat!
