Budgeting for Winter Heating Woes

Avoid spikes in your household’s budget this winter when you sign up for the Quinoco Advantage Budget Payment Plan.

Next, our Customer Care representative will calculate your estimated annual cost and divide it into equal monthly payments – it’s that simple!

Staying Budget-Friendly With The Quinoco Advantage Budget Payment Plan

• Saves Time: No more monitoring your tank; we will track your usage and deliver when you need it.

• Consistent: You pay the same amount each month.

Kick Fall Off With Tune-Ups & Tank Inspections

Regular maintenance on your heating system is crucial for maintaining a comfortable home once chilly fall days return.

FOUR BENEFITS of a HEAT Tune-Up from Quinoco

1. Save money on repairs from unmaintained equipment.

2. Reduce occurrences of equipment breakdown.

3. Extend the life and efficiency of your equipment.

4. Add our Service Plan and get 24/7 emergency service.

And while you’re scheduling your heating tune-up, be sure to ask about an OIL TANK INSPECTION as well! It’s easy to forget about your oil tank – it’s out of sight, so out of mind. Over time, oil tanks can develop leaks or other issues that can pose a risk to your property and the environment. Our team is available to discuss and perform any next steps, including tank removal and replacement – we’re offering special tank savings this August through October.

Let's Talk Shop: Oil Pricing

It’s hard to ignore the war in Iran and the impact it has on oil prices over the past two months. You can see it reflected every day at the gas stations!

For our home heating oil, prices have followed the same tumultuous trend. We have been monitoring it down to the minute to best manage our costs and thus our customer pricing. As an example, over the course of just two days in March, we saw a $0.71 price increase from our suppliers, an extremely rare occurrence.

While many of you usually start exploring your next price contract in spring, we’ve been discussing the option of floating with the market. This strategy provides time for conditions to hopefully normalize before next winter.

For those who want more certainty and would like to sign a contract, we strongly recommend the cap price plan; the price you pay per gallon is locked at a ceiling, meaning it will never go up. When prices go down, your price goes down as well.

We continue to keep a close eye on the global market and work with our suppliers to provide stability for our customers. If you use heating oil for hot water, please be aware that although winter is over, you may need a delivery over the course of the warmer months. If you have any concerns or would like to discuss pricing options, such as the cap plan, please give us a call.

Winter Wrap Up: Things To Consider For Next Winter

Winter Wrap Up: Things To Consider For Next Winter

Coming out of a bitterly cold winter, here are a few important things to consider before you jump into spring planning.

• Automatic Delivery: One of the easiest ways to protect yourself from the stress of extreme cold is by enrolling in Automatic Delivery. Quinoco tracks the weather and your fuel usage to ensure timely deliveries - that means no last-minute calls or worrying during cold snaps. This past winter showed just how unpredictable the season can be, and automatic delivery provides peace of mind knowing we’ll be there when it matters most.

• Quinoco Advantage Budget Plan & E-Delivery: Colder temperatures often mean more frequent deliveries, making budgeting ahead especially important. The Quinoco Advantage Budget Plan spreads your fuel costs into manageable monthly payments, helping you avoid seasonal spikes. Pair it with E-Delivery for added convenience - no trekking through snow or ice for delivery tickets. Your delivery confirmation is sent straight to your email, making it simple and hassle-free.

• Equipment Maintenance & Replacement: After working overtime all winter, your heating system deserves some attention with propane delivery in Goshen.

  If you missed your annual maintenance, it’s never too late - heat tune-ups can be done any time of year. And if your system is showing its age, spring is the ideal time to be proactive about replacement before another winter puts it to the test.

A little planning now can make all the difference when the temperatures drop again!
