Heating your house can be expensive, but staying warm doesn’t have to break the bank. With a few adjustments to your routine, you can lower your next heating oil bill. Alaska Petroleum has served North Pole, Fairbanks, and the surrounding areas with heating oil and diesel fuel deliveries for 36 years, so they understand what you need to keep your home or office warm.

There are a few ways to lower the cost of home heating oil while still staying warm and comfortable throughout the winter months. Follow these tips to keep more money in your wallet during the coldest season of the year:

• Buy Heating Oil During Off-Peak Times: If you wait until winter to have heating oil delivered, you’ll pay a higher price. Instead, schedule service from an oil company during the spring or summer. Fuel will be cheaper because there will be less demand for heating oil.

• Avoid Extra Fees & Charges: Minor costs add up quickly. Before you do business with an oil company, ask about financing details and whether some services cost extra. If there’s an additional charge for delivery in poor weather or on weekends, you can avoid it by rescheduling your appointment.

• Request a Discount: Oil and gas companies sometimes offer discounts, so ask if any are available before arranging heating oil delivery. Common discounts include senior citizen and military markdowns as well as price cuts for large-volume purchases.
