Pre-Buy Plans?
Fegley's pre-buys heating oil through the stock market at a set price for next winter season. In turn we can sell it for a set price, give us a call since details change rapidly.
What is Automatic/WatchDog Delivery Service?
Rather than you watching the guage on your oil tank, a computer program will track your usage and tell us when to deliver heating oil. Fegley's backs it up with a 24 hour a day run out guarantee.
When do I need Sludge Additive?
You may need additive if you get sludge buildup in your heating oil tank. From the condensation your oil tank accumulates over the years, a type of bacteria/algae grows and dies creating a sludge buildup at the bottom of most tanks. If you suspect a problem, give us a call for more information. NEW! We now offer home heating oil tank cleaning.
When should I use K1 Kerosene?
All outside tanks, we recommend kerosene because it will not gel as readily in cold weather.
Is dyed kerosene safe to use?
Informally we are told the dye makes no difference, but the manufacturers will not formally make this claim. Manufacturers state as always, portable kerosene heaters should only be used in a ventilated area. So please use discretion when using in a closed area. Un-dyed Clear Kerosene is available at the pump at our Tamaqua Mini Mart.
I have an outside tank, what fuel should I use?
K1 Kerosene is recommended over Heating Oil because of its low gel point for cold weather, however Heating Oil with a Anti-Gel additive is an option. We strongly suggest K1 Kerosene. Small heaters are now available for installation inside an oil tank also.
Who do I call if my furnace is not working?
Call our 800-572-4925 or 570-386-4151 phone numbers, operators are always on call.
What are your hours?
Normal office hours are 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday though Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 12 p.m. Saturdays. However, during the colder weather, these hours are normally much longer. An operator is always on call 24 hours a day to take your order or dispatch a service technician.
What brand furnace do you carry?
ThermoDynamics is our main supplier, but other brands such as Peerless, Utica, New Yorker, Burnham as well as others are available. EFM by order.
What is a Budget Plan?
Want to save .05¢ per gallon? Budget plan customers receive an instant .05¢ per gallon discount on each delivery. Fegley's takes your projected usage and averages it over a 11 month period, you actually start paying on the budget in June, call for more details. *This can be started late as long as missed months are paid up to date.
How do I know when I need my furnace cleaned?
Fegley's recommends you have your furnace cleaned annually.
Do you have Specials/Discounts?
Yes, every season clean and service specials are run for your furnace cleaning. Heating Oil discounts are given to large deliveries and institutions such as churches, schools, etc... Call for details.
Is Valero gasoline really better than Un-Branded and why does it cost more?
All-American Valero gasoline (www.Valero.com is an All-American company based in San Antonio, Texas) has additives to help keep your engine cleaner and run more efficiently. The additional additives cost more, hence, the greater cost. There is a difference!
What do you do during a furnace clean and service?
Tune up includes: disassemble and inspect the inside of the furnace, then thoroughly clean and dislodge any soot in the fire chamber, smoke pipe, and gun assembly. Replace the spray nozzle, oil filter, fuel pump strainer and reassemble the unit. Our technicians also will check the efficiency, conduct a smoke test, temperature test, and do a visual inspection of your storage tank.
How much would it cost to replace my furnace and/or oil tank?
The cost varies greatly with the unit size and labor involved to change it. Fegley's offers free estimates with no obligations. Hot water oil furnace replacement on average is $5500. Oil tank prices again vary greatly because of labor removing the old tank, but average tank replacements are running $1000-$1500.
