Make Your House Easy to Find

Check to ensure that your house number is easy to see, whether it’s on the mailbox or displayed on the front of your home. If your delivery is scheduled after the sun goes down, keep a light on.

The more visible your house is, the easier it will be for the driver to find you, and the faster your tank will be filled up.

Ensure Easy Access

Find out where the inlet for your home heating oil is located. If you’re home when the delivery technician arrives, you may want to take a moment to tell him or her where the inlet pipe is. If you aren’t home, highlight the area so that the technician doesn’t have to waste time searching for it; for example, if it’s behind a fence, leave the gate propped open.

We’d also appreciate it if you take a few moments to clear the area. Clean up anything that could obstruct access, such as landscaping tools, garbage cans, snow and ice, leaves, or any other debris. If you have bushes or shrubs planted near the inlet pipe, keep them trimmed. You should also clear the space leading from your driveway or the road up to the inlet pipe. The delivery technician will be pulling a large hose from the truck to the inlet, so making sure that any branches, rocks, and other hazards are moved out of the way will be extremely helpful.

Weather can change without notice, road closures can occur, and accidents can happen. If the unplanned does occur, you want to be sure that the fuel oil delivery technician can reach you.
