In light of the Microsoft outages, we recommend people give us a call if you need assistance, as opposed to emailing us. While our emails may not work, all our delivery and online payment software is functioning as usual 😄

Happy Fourth of July! We will be closed from July 4th to July 12th. Emergency service for no-heat will be available during this time, though our Answering Service will forward any urgent questions or concerns you have during that time.

Thank you and enjoy the holiday!

With the dreary winter weather behind us, now is the time to assess your system and decided if it is up to the job for your home heating needs. Is it providing strong hot water and heat performance? Is it efficient enough to save you money? Is it storing your heating oil safely? Are maintenance and repair costs getting high? It may be time to upgrade your heating system and/or your oil tank. Please reach out to us to get a quote on all your heating oil installation needs!

As we gear up for the transition from fall into winter, we want to put out our usual PSA out for our customers - both current and future - including steps that are not only a huge help for us but for other delivery and repair services. Here are some steps that can be taken that ensure our deliveries can be performed quickly and that both our drivers and service techs can stay happy, healthy, and on schedule:

***CLEAR A PATH FOR SNOW*** This is perhaps the best thing you can do (at the most important time of the year) to ensure a timely oil delivery both for yourself and your neighbors. Deep snow slows down deliveries drastically and makes it hard to locate the fill pipe, so please clear a path from the road to the fill if you are able. If you are elderly or disabled, consider asking a family member, neighbor, or local kid for assistance. If that is not possible, please reach out to us so we can plan your fuel needs for before or after a snowstorm - a last-minute emergency delivery in deep snow puts our drivers and trucks in dangerous situations, and it puts you at risk of not getting your delivery in time.

- Clear Overgrowth/Landscaping from Access Points - if large shrubs and grass are in front of fill pipes and bulkheads, it can make deliveries, repairs, and installations slow or painful for our drivers. Clearing brush helps keep us from getting tangled up in the front yard and moving onto other deliveries.

-Unlocking Gates/Doors: Getting to a home and finding out we cannot deliver because the gate to the fill is locked is a huge bummer. The same holds true for a locked bulkhead during services calls. Please confirm with the office that access to the oil fill pipe or heating system is available to avoid a day or more delay. Of course - you are welcome to remain at the house and let us in!

-Clean Up After Pets - we love Fido the Dog and Mrs. Whiskers the Cat, but we don't love their p**p. A dirty yard or home makes for a rough day for our employees who risk tracking droppings into another persons yard or home. Also, the oil hose drags on the ground and brings p**p back to the truck. Your pets can also create avoidable service issues, such as hair getting stuck in air filters or burner intakes. Please help keep our work sanitary and safe by cleaning up after your furry friends.

We appreciate the support of all our customers and the community, and with your help we can continue to work strategically so that you get the best quality and value for your dollar this heating season!

Update on website - despite repeated repairs, it seems we are still having spam issues. Please DO NOT click any links that appear suspicious on our site. We are still working diligently to correct this.

While our website is not working, we are 💪 here's a quick before and after of a recent boiler and indirect water heater replacement we did. We think the yellow is happier.

Hi everyone - looks like we are having some issues with our website. The Sign-Up form is not working and some customers reported being re-directed to odd websites. It does appear this is isolated to Google Chrome and Safari - Bing, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox all seem to work OK for accessing the website.

We are looking into if this is a hacking situation or just a glitch and doing our best to get it resolved. If you are re-directed to an unfamiliar site, do not click any of the links it generates. If you are having trouble accessing the Portal, please call us for assistance. Any other requests can also be called in, or you can email us using [email protected] (our emails still work just fine!).

So sorry for the inconvenience! We will let you know once this has been resolved.

Cracking open an old boiler can tell a lot about why it isn't heating your home or hot water like it used to. When this boiler finally let go, it was apparent why it was not performing efficiently - just look at that rot!

The new Energy Kinetics 90+ Resolute fit the bill to provide excellent heating and hot water performance while saving this homeowner on fuel expenses!

We have always stuck with oil because it is a simple, safe, and productive form of home heating that, when maintained and upgraded on a regular basis, is quite efficient. However, oil tanks do come with challenges and risks. An oil tank leak is not only stressful and unpleasant, but can cost tens (in come cases even HUNDREDS) of thousands of dollars to rectify, as most homeowner's insurance policies do not cover the clean-up and repairs caused by heating oil leaking out of a bad tank.

As we creep towards the end of the cold season, now is the time to ask yourself if your oil tank is going to serve you safely for the future. If your tank is 25+ years old and/or showing significant wear on the bottom or near the oil line outlet, it's time to replace it. Powers Energy is a certified installer of Roth Double-Wall Tanks™, which not only means added upfront peace-of-mind with its corrosion-resistant and double-walled structure, but a 30-year warranty and $2 million clean-up policy to boot.

Our oil delivery customers are always welcome to call if there are questions or concerns about the integrity of an oil tank 😄
