I am looking for a few Brave Souls!
November 29th, 2008 by Chris Chase

I probably shouldn’t name this post that title, but it certainly is catchy!

After too many delays, and more customer requests than I care to admit, we are almost ready to launch the online customer account section of the website.  (There is one last thing we are waiting on from our friends at Microsoft… for the technical minded it is a upload package that lets two different SQL databases sync)

For those that don’t know by now, the online customer account section will work like many large enterprise businesses have.  It wIll allow you to pay your bills online(credit cards only to start), lookup your transaction history, budget inforamtion.. things such as that)  As time goes on, I am sure that many additional features will be added to it.

Anywhoo, I was thinking that before I place the actual signin link on the new current customer section of the website for all to use, I would like to get a few of our customers to test it out privately first.  So over the next week or two, I will be gathering individuals to do just that!  If you are interested, please send me a private email…  chris@fuelservices.biz

We are looking forward to providing this additional free service to our customers.  

 

Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving!

Weather Update!
November 20th, 2008 by Chris Chase

I figured I would notify all of weather updates as we receive them.  Being in the Heating Oil business, we get special updates from time to time.

Not to scare anyone, but this source is usually spot on!  After this sentence, all content is from meteorologist John Bagioni.

 

SPECIAL PATTERN ALERT FOR THE NORTHERN MIDDLE ATLANTIC, NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND REGIONS

UNUSUALLY COLD EARLY DECEMBER GAINING MORE SUPPORT…

RECORD COLD AND HIGH ENERGY DEMAND A GROWING CONCERN!!!

PATTERN TREND UPDATE

While I will be expanding on the threat for a very cold early and mid December in my normal Friday update, I felt the need to get a brief pattern alert update out today due to the potential for an unusually cold early December period.

I have been onboard with a cold December for a long time now, but have been thinking that the truly cold, possibly record setting cold, would wait until after the first week of the month.

Current trends, both hemispherical and model-wise, are now pointing toward an earlier intrusion of some very serious cold into the central and eastern U.S. very early in December.

I am not going to get overly specific right now, but this could equal some of the bitter outbreaks of December 1989 and could be record setting if the pattern amplifies to the extent of some of the modeling. Even if the modeling is overdone, the cold period that would evolve in early December would be very significant and would lead to a very impressive enhancement of heating demand across all of the Northeast & New England regions.

BioHeat® is Back!
November 11th, 2008 by Chris Chase

We are again delivering BioHeat to our customers that request it!  The blend we are currently offering is a 5% blend.  The cost is averaging about a dime more a gallon than our regular #2. (at today’s prices at least)  We deliver BioFuel on an automatic delivery basis. 

For those unfamiliar with BioHeat, please refer to the National BioDiesel Board link below.

http://www.biodiesel.org/markets/hom/faqs.asp

The State of Massachusetts recently passed legislation that all home heating oil must have at least a 2% bio blend by 2010. We are proud to be able to offer this product earlier than mandated.  Feel free to email me personally with any questions you might have.  If you wish to change your deliveries to Bio, just give one of our customer service representatives a call.

Thanks
