Our third-party-notification program ensures that you — or the people you care about — will never lose heat due to an unpaid bill. If someone doesn’t respond to a fuel bill, we’ll contact their designated third party to make sure everything is OK.
There’s no financial responsibility for the third party, and you can feel peace of mind that you or your loved ones won’t experience an unnecessary loss of heat. Contact us today to find out more.
Who could ever forget last winter? The bitter cold, mixed with some big snowstorms, created challenges for everyone: People used more fuel than normal, and slippery roads made driving difficult for our drivers and technicians. Throughout this rough time, our service and delivery teams worked tirelessly to take care of our customers.
One longtime customer, Mike M., from Hauppauge, took the time to thank us for our responsive service.
“You have been with me for 10 years and two homes,” he told us. “Your service is excellent, and your family dynamic is one that I continuously share with others looking for the right service company. We have had a great relationship and I look to continue that going forward.”
So do we, Mike. Thank you for being such a loyal customer!
While solar energy and wind power continue to capture headlines for their potential, one of the exciting developments in the energy world has been the expanded use of BioHeat® fuel.
This is a combination of low-sulfur heating oil and biodiesel, which is made domestically from dozens of natural sources, including soybeans, sunflowers and pumpkin seeds.
As the most refined grade of heating oil, BioHeat® fuel burns significantly cleaner and has little negative impact on the environment. When used with a technologically advanced oil heat system, it produces near-zero levels of particulate matter during the combustion process.
What’s more, BioHeat® fuel is made in America and requires no modifications to your existing system.
The new American oil revolution is now a reality. Domestic oil production just reached its highest point in 43 years! As a result, most experts expect oil prices to stay lower for the foreseeable future.

The oil heat industry continues to make technological breakthroughs that promise a new era of higher efficiency and bigger savings for everyone fortunate enough to heat their home with the new heating oil.

A heating oil storage tank offers an important advantage: the ability to safely store an adequate supply of heating oil that’s ready for immediate use whenever a need to heat the home arises.
Today’s aboveground tanks are worry free and virtually leak proof. Most oil tanks are now built of corrosion-resistant materials. In many cases, new aboveground tanks are double-walled and come with alarm systems if there is any discharge.
Plus, the newest generation of aboveground tanks generally can be installed in small or unusually shaped spaces.
In short, today’s tanks provide peace of mind and convenience—in addition to all the other benefits of heating your home with oil!
The greater the efficiency, the MORE you SAVE! This chart shows average savings from upgrading to a new system with 85% efficiency.

Last winter put a big strain on heating systems, especially older boilers, many of which broke down or simply could not keep homes warm enough. Don’t go through another winter worrying about staying warm in your home!
A new high-efficiency heating system will keep you toasty warm — even when temperatures drop below zero! And because a new boiler uses a lot less fuel than older models, you can reduce your annual heating costs by 30% or more.
Bonus savings: Take advantage of our fall special! Make a down payment of 33% toward the cost of your boiler and we’ll give you 12 months of 0% financing on your balance. Don’t wait. This limited time offer is valid for credit-approved customers who install a qualifying boiler. Call us, return the enclosed card or email us to request more details.
With two full-time master plumbers on staff, Swezey offers complete plumbing services, from small repairs and drain clearing to water-heater installations, sewer line repairs and remodeling.
Stephen N., of Middle Island, knew he was in good hands right away when our plumbing team showed up with friendly smiles and placed drop cloths on the floor.
“Every time they came in and out they scraped their feet and closed the door,” Stephen said. “As soon as John started working, I knew I had a true mechanic. I have managed building construction projects for 25 years and can spot a good tradesman in the first few minutes; they are now becoming rare.”
Q: How do I know when it’s time to replace my heating equipment?
A: If the repair includes the replacement of major parts, this may indicate that your system is nearing the end of its life span. You also need to ask yourself how efficient your system is. If your furnace or boiler is more than 15 years old, it has a much lower efficiency rating than the oil heating systems of today. It could be using 30% more heating oil than a new system.
Harsh winters like last year’s really put a big strain on older heating systems. By updating to a new high-efficiency system, you’ll see significant savings while feeling far more comfortable — even during long cold spells. Let us show you the best options for your home and budget and get you ready for next winter.
