It’s always a good idea to get your steps in, except ...

When you have will-call fuel delivery! Although going outside or to the basement or crawlspace to check the level of heating oil in your tank gets your body moving, it can hardly be considered pleasurable.

That’s why you should take advantage of Parker Oil & Propane’s automatic delivery service. There’s no trudging through the house to check your tank and no calling for deliveries when your tank runs low — our special computer program allows us to deliver your fuel when you need it!

Call Parker Oil & Propane today and say, “I want to sign up for automatic delivery.” We’ll take all the steps to make that happen!

August is National Dog Month!

Dogs, like people, are bothered by the hot and humid Virginia summers. In a hot room without air conditioning, a dog can quickly suffer from dehydration, heat exhaustion, and fatal heatstroke because dogs (especially those with thick coats and flat faces) cannot sweat effectively and rely mainly on panting to cool down. If your air conditioner is not working as well as it should, don’t wait!

Call Parker Oil & Propane, at (800) 486-3146 and we’ll send one of our expert cooling technicians over to bring comfort to your furry friend ... and you. https://parkeroilcompany.com/services/residential-fuel-comfort/air-conditioning/

The year was 1935 ...

President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act to provide benefits for retirees, the unemployed, and the disabled. The first canned beer went on sale in Richmond, Virginia. And Parker Oil & Propane (formerly Parker Oil Company) was founded.

Over 90 years later, Parker Oil & Propane is a diversified company that serves businesses and residences in southern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina with a range of energy-related products and services. And throughout all those decades we’ve never forgotten our goal to exceed our customers’ expectations with warm personal service and the respect they truly deserve. https://parkeroilcompany.com/about-us/

Earlier this month we celebrated our country’s independence!

However, every day is a great day to celebrate your energy independence as a Parker Oil & Propane customer! You see, with heating oil and propane, you have an independent supply safely and conveniently stored on your property, in your own tank. You’re not dependent on the grid for your energy, as gas and electric customers are. Isn’t that a great feeling?

Things got a little too serious... and maybe just a little too personal... at our Suffolk office's CPR refresher course! 😂

All kidding aside, safety is one of Parker Oil's top priorities. Throughout the summer, employees at each of our locations are completing CPR refresher training so they're prepared to respond when it matters most.

You never know when these skills could save a coworker, customer, friend, or family member. ❤️
