Planning your heating oil delivery before severe weather can make storm days easier. Our local team can help you think through your home's needs.
Mercer Fuels has provided personalized guidance on home heating delivery, furnace equipment and ways to plan your heating costs for three generations. Free, with no pressure.
Cape Breton winter storms can change plans quickly. Reviewing your heating oil supply ahead of time can help your household stay more comfortable:
Sudden Temperature Drops: Cold snaps can arrive quickly, and your home may use more heating oil than usual.
Multi-Day Storm Isolation: Some storms can last for days, and road conditions may affect delivery routes.
Power Outages: If your heating system depends on electricity, an outage can affect your home's comfort even when your tank has oil.
Storm-Related Delays: Severe weather can make travel and service response times longer.
Peace of Mind: A fuller tank can make it easier to stay comfortable while a storm passes.
Plan Ahead: Scheduling before a storm may help you avoid waiting until travel and delivery conditions are difficult.
Protect Your Property: Keeping your home heated can help reduce the risk of frozen pipes and weather-related damage.
Family Comfort: A little planning can help you prepare for children, older family members, and anyone with extra comfort needs.
