Oil Tank Protection Gaps NYC Homeowners Don’t Realize They Have
If you heat your home with oil in the NYC area, you likely have a big metal oil tank sitting in your basement or buried in your yard. It’s out of sight, out of mind – until there’s a problem. One day, you might discover a leak or other tank issue, and assume, “Well, that’s why I have homeowners insurance!” Unfortunately, many NYC homeowners don’t realize that standard insurance often excludes coverage for oil tank leaks or spills.
Bioheat Blend Levels Explained: How B10 vs B20 Impacts Efficiency and Cost
If you heat your home or building with oil in the NYC area, you’ve probably heard the term Bioheat. By now, almost all heating oil in New York City contains some biodiesel, making it “Bioheat fuel.” Two common blend levels are B10 and B20, meaning 10% or 20% biodiesel mixed with traditional heating oil. But what do those numbers really mean for you, the end user?
How NYC Weather Patterns Actually Affect Heating Oil Consumption
New York City is known for its unpredictable weather, especially in winter. One week it’s a mild 50°F, the next we’re in a polar vortex with single-digit temps. As a homeowner or property manager, you might wonder: How do these weather swings impact my heating oil usage?
