How to Save Money on Heat

Look at Your South Carolina Home as an Energy System

Many 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.

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.
