Automatic Delivery: Is It Really Worth It?

If you live in Eastern Pennsylvania, you know how unpredictable the weather can be and how important it is to keep your heating consistent in the upcoming winter months. Automatic delivery is a great way to combat these problems, but some heating oil users may wonder if the convenience is truly worth it. Let’s clear up some of the most common misconceptions about automatic delivery and how it really works.

Common Misconceptions About Automatic Delivery

There are a few myths about automatic delivery that may leave PA homeowners and business owners wary of signing up, and we have the honest answers.

It Costs More

FALSE: Automatic delivery can help you save money and avoid unexpected expenses.

When you enroll in auto delivery, our experts use state-of-the-art degree-day technology to accurately determine when you will need a fill, which helps reduce the risk of an emergency runout and subsequent costs associated with emergency deliveries and priming/restarting services. Beyond that, allowing your tank to run empty can lead to equipment strain or damage to your heating system and appliances, which can be far more expensive to repair.

Even better, Hollenbach Home Comfort customers can sign up for automatic delivery at no additional cost.

I’ll Get Deliveries I Don’t Need

FALSE: Automatic deliveries make oil fills more efficient.

Degree-day technology takes into consideration the outdoor temperature and predicted weather patterns, as well as your property’s unique oil history usage, to accurately estimate when you need a fill. The result is more efficient, timely deliveries, so that you can count on consistent comfort without any unnecessary drop-offs.

I’ll Lose Control Over My Deliveries

FALSE: Automatic delivery doesn’t take away control; it only adds convenience.

The professionals at Hollenbach Home Comfort work closely with our customers to ensure your delivery schedule fits your unique heating needs. You’re always welcome to check your fuel levels at any time for your own peace of mind, but automatic delivery means you no longer have to.
