State Attorneys General

If you have a complaint or you would like to more information before you get involved with a heating company, we also suggest contacting the state attorney general's office of the state the company your interested in resides in. Theses guys track consumer complaints and usually make that information available to the public.

Better Business Bureau

Another choice to the state attorneys general is the BBB . It is among the oldest consumer information services in the United States. The BBB maintains limited online information on companies, but you can file a complaint online.

Other services
Some of the most popular are the Federal Trade Commission , ScamBusters , and  Yahoo!  maintains lots of lists of consumer information sites. Some services require merchants to pay a fee to participate or require you to pay to use fully.

Above Ground Oil Tanks

Most oil tanks now built are made of corrosion-resistant materials. Many new aboveground tanks can be installed in small, irregular shaped spaces in basements or garages. Outside tanks can be installed and hidden in a tank enclosure.

The objective of any comprehensive heating program is to allow maximum heating at the lowest cost.

The three areas of influence that you, the consumer, control are: winterization of your home, heating oil costs and appliance efficiency.

While the latter two are important to an overall program, winterizing your home is an integral part of any successful program. A well thought out and executed program for winterizing your home will invariably give you the largest return on investment of the three. Savings can range from 5-20% by employing these simple, yet inexpensive, measures.

A good winterization program is composed of three main elements:

Appliance performance Personal behaviors Structural considerations

Appliance performance:

Change air filters in your furnace at least once a month. Air filters allow only clean air into the furnace, keeping the mechanics dirt and grim free. A dirty furnace works twice as hard as a clean one.

Insulate your water heater if using heating oil. Maintaining the temperature longer requires less fuel consumption.

Keep vents obstructions free. Use deflectors to re-route air around obstructions.

Use humidifiers. Moist air creates a humid effect making your home feel warmer.

Personal behaviors:

Open the curtains when sunlight is available and close them when it is not.

Use common sense. Re-evaluate your actual living space. Close off spare bedrooms and other areas not requiring heat. Restrict the in and out traffic of children. Dress warmly.
