How to Switch Heating Oil Companies in NYC Before Winter
If you’re thinking about switching heating oil companies before winter, the process is usually manageable. The important part is getting the timing right.
Before ending service with your current provider, review any existing agreement, confirm that your new heating oil company serves your address, choose how you want future deliveries handled, and make sure the transition is coordinated before your tank gets too low.
What’s the Difference Between a Boiler and a Burner?
A boiler and a burner work together, but they do different jobs. In a fuel-fired heating system, the burner creates the heat by burning fuel, while the boiler uses that heat to warm water or produce steam that carries heat through the home.
Can You Install Commercial Solar on an Older NYC Roof?
Yes, commercial solar can often be installed on an older NYC roof. The age of the building or roof does not automatically disqualify it. What matters is the roof’s current condition, remaining service life, structural capacity, drainage, usable space and whether repairs or replacement should be completed before installation.
Does a Boiler Tune-Up Count as a Local Law 62 Boiler Inspection in NYC?
A routine boiler tune-up does not automatically count as the annual boiler inspection required under NYC Local Law 62. The two services can be completed during the same visit, but they serve different purposes.
When Does the NYC Building Energy Grade Need to Be Posted in 2026?
If your New York City building is subject to the City’s energy grading requirements, the 2026 Building Energy Efficiency Rating Label must be posted no later than October 31, 2026.
How Do You Know If Your Solar Panels Need Repair?
Solar panels do not need to stop producing electricity completely before something can be wrong.
A noticeable drop in energy production, repeated inverter alerts, a portion of the system that stops producing, or visible damage can all be signs that a solar system should be inspected.
