You’ve fortified your house against the cold weather and made sure your car is as safe as it can be, but did you remember to prepare your supply of heat for the winter? Andersen Oil Company, a full-service oil delivery and service company serving Ledyard, CT and the surrounding areas, wants to remind you to make sure that the weather doesn’t interfere with your fuel deliveries or ruin the fuel you have.

Most people have no choice but to shovel or plow their driveway after a heavy snow, but a scheduled home heating oil delivery makes this chore even more important. If you typically don’t clear the snow from your driveway, though, always remember to do so on fuel delivery days. If the delivery driver doesn’t have easy access to the fuel pipe, you might miss your delivery and find yourself facing subzero temperatures without heat.

Even with a freshly plowed driveway, extreme temperatures can still interfere with your oil. If you have an external oil tank, make sure you have your supply treated to withstand the cold. At very low temperatures, oil can gel up into a thick, jellylike substance your system isn’t set up to handle. Contact a professional oil company to make sure your oil keeps flowing smoothly through the deep winter chill.

Andersen Oil Company offers the highest quality home heating oil at the lowest prices available and also provides 24-hour emergency service during the winter. Visit their website to learn more about their reliable home delivery plans or call (860) 464-7628 to order oil today.
