Winter Preparedness

As temperatures plummet and winter settles in, keeping your home warm and comfortable becomes a top priority. At Palisades Fuel, we’ve been serving homeowners in Westchester, NY, since 1987, ensuring families stay safe and cozy no matter how harsh the season gets. Here are some essential winter preparedness tips to help you make the most of the colder months and why Palisades Fuel is your trusted partner in home heating.

1. Secure Your Heating Oil Supply

A warm home starts with a full tank of heating oil. Running out during winter isn’t just inconvenient; it can also cause your heating system to shut down, leaving your home vulnerable to freezing temperatures.

How Palisades Fuel Helps:

• Automatic Delivery: Let us track your usage and refill your tank before it gets low. This hassle-free service ensures you never run out, even during unexpected cold snaps.
• Reliable Service: As a leading heating oil provider in Westchester, we’re committed to delivering premium oil when you need it most.

2. Schedule a Heating System Tune-Up

Your heating system works hard all winter long, so make sure it’s up to the challenge. A professional inspection and tune-up can improve efficiency, lower energy bills, and help prevent breakdowns.

Benefits of a Tune-Up:

• Detect and fix small issues before they turn into costly repairs.
• Optimize performance for consistent warmth throughout your home.
• Extend the life of your heating system.

Palisades Fuel’s local technicians are skilled, responsive, and ready to help keep your system in peak condition.

3. Prepare for Winter Storms

Winter storms can disrupt power and make roads impassable, so it’s crucial to prepare your home in advance. Here’s a quick checklist to get ready:

• Seal windows and doors to prevent drafts and retain heat.
• Keep blankets, flashlights, and batteries on hand in case of a power outage.
• Have a backup heating plan, such as a generator or a safe portable heater.

With 24/7 emergency service, Palisades Fuel ensures you’re never left in the cold, no matter what winter throws your way.

4. Insulate Your Home

Prevent heat from escaping by ensuring your home is properly insulated. Simple steps like adding weatherstripping to doors and windows or insulating your attic can significantly improve energy efficiency.

Pro Tip: Use heavy curtains to block drafts from windows at night and open them during the day to let in natural warmth from the sun.
