Automatic Deliveries defined

To determine automatic deliveries, we use a computer model of your recent history of automatic deliveries and our own daily record of the winter during the same time in history to create a usage factor.  We then apply that factor to the current weather records to determine when your next delivery should be.  If you have been a Mansfield Oil & Energy Company Customer for the past two years, we use an actual record of automatic deliveries by us.  If you are a new Mansfield Oil & Energy Customer we estimate your deliveries on the type and square footage of your home.

Automatic Deliveries are Estimated

We Schedule deliveries when we estimate you have used about three-quarters of the fuel available in your tank.  There is no gaurantee that your tank will always be kept full, and we expressly disclaim any guarantee.

Factors that Will Affect Frequency of Automatic Deliveries

Automatic oil deliveries are based on estimates, it is not an exact science. That is because there are variables that effect the rate of fuel usage or even the amount of hot water or heat used that are beyond our control and for which we are not responsible. These factors include without limitations, the following:

  • Changes in weather

  • Increases and decreases in the amount of time people occupy the home due to work, vacations and other reasons.

  • Irregular use of the home because it is used on weekends, for vacations, or a seasonal home. Fuel use varies with the amount the home is used rather than when occupied part-time.

  • Increases and decreases of  the number of people in the home.

  • Changes in thermostat settings, such as turning up the thermostat for a senior citizen, newborn, or ill and injured person in the home.

  • Poorly functioning equipment, ( furnace or boiler etc.).

  • Equipment malfunction or leak in the oil tank or supply line.

  • Use of other heating equipment, such as wood stoves, heat pump, and fireplaces.

  • Unusual exposure to wind, especially in poor insulated buildings.

  • Remodeling, construction.

  • Increase in hot water or heat use  for any reason,

  • Receiving oil deliveries from another supplier.
