It’s the middle of the winter, with many days under the zero-degree mark and you wake up to frost on your windows.  You come to the realization that you must have run out of heating fuel.  This is not the end of the world, but you are going to have to take a few additional steps in the case that this is in fact the issue.  Many people in cold climates such as Albany, NY use an auto-filling fuel service so that this does not end up being an issue.  Some of the more frugal folks out there will chance this event to save a few dollars by choosing the most inexpensive fuel pricing using different companies through the winter months.

Here are the steps to take to get your home heated and everything back on track for the rest of the winter.  Whatever you do, don’t panic, everything will be fine.

Fist, be sure that the absence of fuel is the issue here, emergency deliveries and service can add to overall costs for you.

Second, call your furnace service provider.  They will need to come and make sure there is not any damage to the fuel line or filter to safely turn your furnace back on.

Next, call an oil provider to come and fill or put some fuel into the tank as soon as possible.  Depending on the current demand in your area, you may have to call a couple of providers to get fuel in a reasonable amount of time.
