Newtown Heating Oil – Heat Saving Tips
Whether you are a Newtown heating oil consumer or live in Ridgefield, Danbury or Stamford, it’s not too late to tuneup your heating system to save on your upcoming heating oil bills. I found these simple steps to save on heating oil to be very effective.
HEAT SAVING TIPS: EASY DOs
- Get a heating system tuneup — it’ll ensure you get maximum performance from every drop of your heating oil in Newtown get’s burned.
- Open shades and drapes when the sun is out to let it help warm your home. Close them when the sun goes down.
- Turn back the thermostat at night or when you are away from home; for every degree you lower your thermostat for 8 hours or more each day, you’ll save 2 percent on your heating bill.
- Wrap your pipes to guard against heat loss and prevent them from freezing.
- Stop drafts by eliminating any gaps between your door and the threshold on the floor. Use a bottom seal that can be attached to the bottom of the door – it should brush up against the floor to seal up the threshold.
- Caulk or re-caulk exterior spaces between the windows and walls of your home.
- Close your kitchen vent, fireplace damper and closet doors when not in use.
- If you have central air conditioning, close your vent(s) to the outside.
- Remove air conditioning window units, or cover them to keep cold air outside.
- Keep radiators and registers free of dust for top efficiency.
HEAT SAVING TIPS: SHOULD DOs
- Replace heating systems that are more than 20 years old.
- Upgrade your oil furnace or boiler — modern versions can cut costs by as much as 15 percent.
- Replace your furnace’s or boiler’s fuel economizer.
- Make sure you have good insulation on exterior walls, ceilings with cold spaces above, and floors with cold spaces below.
- Install or close storm windows. Consider new glass designed to decrease radiant heat loss without lowering visibility. To read the full article please click here.

6 Heating Oil Money Saving Tips For Our Connecticut Customers
The price that Wall Street futures investors pay for a barrel of crude oi is over $70. But you can expect to pay even more for your heating oil next winter. So here are 6 Heating Oil Money Saving Tips we provide to our customers.
1. Stop drafts – at windows, doors and the fireplace.
2. Insulate the attic – Make sure you have enough insulation to give you at least R-49 protection for your money.
3. Have your furnace cleaned and tuned up by a professional. Oil furnaces are very rugged and will burn oil and put out heat even when they are running at poor efficiency. A dirty, out of tune oil furnace can operate with a combustion efficiency as low as 60%. Just by cleaning and tuning the combustion efficiency can be brought up to 75% or more. That is a 25 cents on the dollar improvement in oil use. At Comfort King Energy, we do a safety check to insure that a faulty furnace will not cause fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. Just call us today for your inspection.
4. Back down your thermostat at every opportunity. Especially at night and when no one is home.
5. Make sure your house walls are well insulated including basement walls.
6. Change or wash your furnace filter every month during the heating season. A blocked air filter drastically reduces airflow and increases the amount of time your furnace has to run to keep the house warm. This is a do it yourself job. Have our Comfort King Energy professional show you how when he visits.
Plan ahead for this winter! Fill your oil tank this summer while prices are usually at their lowest. Some folks decorate their yard with an extra tank, just to save this way.
