Most homeowners think about their heating system only when it stops working. But losing heat in the middle of winter — especially in Alaska — could lead to expensive consequences. Alaska Petroleum in North Pole, the best heating oil distributor in the Fairbanks area, is committed to keeping your home and business warm. They have more than 35 years of experience providing heating oil, gas, and diesel fuel to residential and commercial clients while offering the most efficient and affordable services.

One of the best ways to ensure your home heating oil system works all winter is to maintain it and its fuel level year-round. You use your oil heater only during cold months, so your tank may sit half-empty part of the year, allowing condensation to build up. The condensation can create sludge that settles on the bottom and coats the inner walls of your tank and oil line. This will clog the system, making it less efficient and even necessitating repairs.

To avoid this situation, it’s important to fill your heating oil tank before the weather turns excessively cold. Keeping your tank full will not only reduce the risk of tank sludge but ensure you have a good supply of fuel oil on hand when storms and severe weather arrive.

If you have questions about your heating oil system or would like to arrange fuel delivery, call the experts at Alaska Petroleum. They offer 24-hour emergency services and are always available to assist customers. For more information about the oil company, visit their website or call (907) 488-2575.
