Now is a good time to earn cash through referrals!

Hillside has had several people this summer already receive referral credits by referring neighbors, friends, or family to Hillside. Be prepared so the heating season does not take you by surprise. Our referral program is a simple one…refer someone for our heating oil services and receive $50. A referral for a heating and/or air conditioning installation pays $100. Keep Hillside and our referral program in mind the next time you are talking to neighbors, friends, or family members. All the details are found HERE.

With Autumn fast approaching, now is the best time to consider your winter choices for home comfort. Not everyone knows that when it comes to home heating oil, the customer DOES have a choice. Heating your home is simply a utility to most of us, but we do have our choice of provider. Hillside is honored by our customers that choose our services. We show our gratitude to top quality customer service and attention to the customer. Supporting Hillside is 100% support of local, homegrown, family owned and operated businesses. Shopping around for a heating oil provider usually boils down to price for most of us. Hillside is proud to post our price for home heating oil 24/7 on the front page of our website. If you are receiving full service and/or automatic delivery from another company, be sure to compare prices for what you are paying and what you are receiving.

Heating Oil Prices at a 3 1/2 Year Low

Retail heating oil prices are the lowest they have been since December 2010. That is 3 ½ years ago. We understand that this is still not considered a “good” or “low” price, but hopefully the decline this summer is a good sign for us Americans and the price of heating our homes. If you were considering getting some heating oil, this is the lowest our price has been in a long time. Hillside is proud to be the ONLY heating oil company in the area that advertises our price per gallon for EVERYONE on the front page of our website www.HillsideHVAC.com

Thank you to everyone that supports local, homegrown, family business.

Disclaimer: Nobody can predict the future. Anyone that says they can is a liar. Heating oil prices may drop lower.

Fireplaces are Great but Should Never Put Your Family at Risk

A crackling fire in the fireplace is often just the remedy to add a little extra warmth to an area of your home. Most of us love sitting by a warm fireplace. The smell, the feeling, the comfort, sipping hot cocoa. If you use a fireplace to supplement your heat when the weather turns cold, make sure it has been recently cleaned from chimney to hearth to prevent the risk of a fire. Failure to clean the creosote that builds up inside the chimney is a leading cause of home fires. Make sure your fireplace chimney is cleaned once a year by a professional chimney sweep and that you use a glass or metal mesh screen in front of the fireplace opening to prevent hot cinders from escaping into the room. More fire prevention tips are available at usfa.fema.gov.
