save on heating bill south carolinaMany homeowners think that their heating system is the only thing to focus on when it comes to conserving energy and saving money. While it’s true that your oil furnace or oil boiler is the most important part of your home’s energy output, it’s only part of the equation. That’s why many South Carolina heating oil companies and energy experts believe in the concept of the house as a system with these three components.

  • The building envelope, which includes roof, walls, windows, doors and foundation. Some of the best ways to conserve energy is to make sure your attic and exposed walls are insulated properly and that your windows and doors are winterized to keep cold drafts out.
  • The occupants, their energy usage and energy decisions. One of these decisions is investing in a smart programmable thermostat. When used correctly, it will pay for itself in just a short time. When you have a Wi-Fi thermostat, you can control your home’s temperature from your smartphone—anytime and anywhere.
  • The mechanical systems, which include the heating and cooling systems. To learn more about how you can positively impact your home’s energy efficiency through upgrades to mechanical systems like heating oil boilers, heating oil furnaces and heating oil storage tanks—and save a lot of money too—read on.

Save BIG with SC Heating Oil Rebates

If your heating system has been breaking down or your home still feels cold even though you’ve turned up the heat, investing in a replacement heating system looks like a smart move.

Right now, you can qualify for up to $1,000 in rebates when you upgrade to a new heating oil system and oil storage tank!

Unlike many other rebate programs, you don’t have to wait for weeks or even months to finally get your rebate funds. Under this program, you receive your rebate upfront, at the time of purchase.

Save a Lot Now, Save a Lot Later

These generous equipment rebates are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all of the savings and peace of mind you’ll enjoy by upgrading to a modern heating oil system and storage tank.

Today’s oil boilers and oil furnaces are compact, smart and super-efficient and can save you, on average, 20% or more on your annual heating costs. There are many different equipment options to fit your budget.

Energy-efficient equipment can be installed with the latest technologically advanced controls to use only as much fuel as needed to heat your home or a specific part of your home.

New aboveground oil tank takes away your worries

In terms of oil storage tanks, as a general rule of thumb, if your fuel storage tank is more than 30 years old, you should consider replacing it.

Today’s aboveground fuel storage tanks are light-years ahead of old models because they are virtually leak-proof and have features that include:

  • sleek designs
  • double-wall construction that includes an outer tank of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel
  • leak-detection system
  • long-term warranties

Here’s another great feature: Modern aboveground tanks generally can be installed in small or unusually shaped spaces.
