Coffee mugs with steamIt goes without saying that once winter makes its arrival, your furnace will be running again. If you have an oil furnace, you may decide to shop around for the best prices. Fuel oil can be expensive, and definitely is a significant part of your heating budget each winter. NYSERDA estimated as of Sept. 19, home heating oil prices in the Capital District averaged approximately $2.50 a gallon. Of course, those gallons add up when you’re heating your home over the long winter.

At Family Danz, we always strive to bring you the lowest possible price on heating oil.

We are pleased to offer our premium fuels to local residences and businesses. It’s always a priority that we offer competitive pricing to you, so you’re able to maximize your heating budget. We want you to get the best fuel prices available, which is why we offer our customers an oil delivery price guarantee. While we’re sure our fuel is priced the best – we put the cost per gallon at the top of our website each day – we will be happy to meet any price you find that’s lower.

And, for your convenience, Family Danz offers budget plans to our home heating oil customers. Our oil budget plan gives you the peace of mind of regular, affordable monthly payments and no-hassle delivery. You’ll have the benefit of a fixed price on your fuel, so you’ll know what you’ll be spending each month. Additionally, you’ll have the added advantage of oil delivery, so you’ll never have to worry about running out of fuel.

Don’t be left out in the cold this winter. Choose a trustworthy, reliable fuel oil delivery company in your area to help you with your home heating oil needs.

By choosing an oil budget plan, you don’t have to gamble with fluctuating fuel costs.

You want a contractor who looks out for your best interests, cares about the comfort of you and your family, and is trustworthy.

Here’s what you should look for when it comes to an HVAC contractor for your Albany, NY home:

How long the company has been in business: It’s important that the company you choose has some longevity in the area. Why? A company that’s been in business for a long time has done so for a reason. They’ve earned the trust of their customers, and have the experience you want for your Albany, NY home. At Family Danz Heating & Cooling, we’ve been helping people with their HVAC needs for more than 30 years.

What’s In the Heating Oil Keeping Your Albany, NY Home Warm?

Posted on by Family Danz

Just because it’s spring doesn’t mean the furnace in your Albany, NY home won’t kick on every now and then, especially at night when warmer temperatures often dip down again. As upstate New Yorkers, we know we’ll probably have to rely on our heating systems well into spring, at the very least to take the chill off when the sun goes down. For that evening warmth your family enjoys, you can thank a brontosaurus.

Thank a brontosaurus? What?

Most of us only think of the Family Danz delivery truck filling up our tank with the heating oil we need for our Albany, NY homes. Most people don’t give much thought to what that heating oil is actually made of. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, our heating oil, which comes from crude oil, is what’s called a fossil fuel. That means it is comprised of hydrocarbons that formed from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. (Cue the brontosaurus.) In the U.S., crude oil is produced in 31 states, with most of it coming from Texas, North Dakota, California, Alaska and Oklahoma.

The heating oil Family Danz delivers to your Albany, NY home isn’t crude oil, though. It has been refined using a complex process that, essentially, breaks the oil down into components that are then converted into new products. These new petroleum products are used for such things as powering motor vehicles, paving roads, generating electricity, and of course, heating your home.

There are different grades of oil, but you can rest assured that the heating oil Family Danz supplies to your Albany, NY home is premium grade fuel, provided to you at the lowest possible price. Our home heating oil contains special detergents that are formulated to keep your heating system running clean and at maximum efficiency. These heating fuel additives reduce service calls, extend equipment life, benefit the environment and save you money.

When you choose us to help meet the heating oil needs of your Albany, NY residence, you can schedule automatic delivery at no extra charge. Discounted budget and prepayment plans are available with automatic deliveries. Or, if you prefer to give us a call when you need a home heating oil delivery, we kindly recommend that you call us when your tank gauge is between half and a quarter full, in order to allow ample time for scheduling delivery.

If you need heating oil for your Albany, NY home, no need to go Jurassic… just call Family Danz at (518) 427-8685, or fill out our online form to schedule your next home heating oil delivery and to ask about our convenient payment options.
