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

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.
