First of all, heating oil is a petroleum product that is used mainly by residents living in the northern United States and Canada to heat their homes and businesses. Historically, the prices for this commodity is much higher during the winter months due to supply and demand. The prices can actually fluctuate from month to month. If distillate fuel inventories are low, then you, the consumer, should be concerned about the potential of higher prices. As a consumers, you need to understand how heating oil is used and how and where it is produced.
Who uses heating oil? Approximately 8.1 million, out of 107 million homes in the United State use heating oil as their prime source for keeping warm from October to March. Some customers try to beat the rising cost of this commodity by filling their tanks in the Summer or early Fall when the prices are lower. If you are a user of this heating source, how would you like to get your money back during these cold winter months? Spiking prices can be a major concern, especially if you have to fill your tank 4 or 5 times. Ouch!
Here are the major reasons heating oil prices fluctuate:
1) Seasonality in the demand for heating oil
2) The cost of crude oil changes
3) Competition in the local markets
4) Regional operating costs
What can you do to lower your heating bill? Don't use the product! Just kidding. Filling your tank in Summer or the early Fall is the best way. You can arrange with your heating oil dealer to participate in a budget plan to help stabilize your monthly bill. You might think about getting a home energy audit to make use your furnace is operating efficiently as possible. Check for leaks around windows and doors and caulk where necessary. Maybe you could install a programmable thermostat so the settings can be lowered when you're not at home. This is just a few ways to cut down on costs. If you were able to find a way to get paid for your oil consumption, you might not have to go through all this trouble!

ReplyDeleteIt is so kind of you to stop by again and leave this very nice and disturbing note. I am sorry that your electricity will be increased, not decreased. We can get some pretty good breaks in the US if we just shop around. Stay warm and keep smiling my friend!

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if we are speaking of the same kind of heating oil but I'm sure a lot of it is used in cooking as well. All I know is that if you are using #2 heating oil to heat your house or business, you can save up to 52% the 180 Degree Benefits Program.
