Mid-County Fuels & Energy Delivery We maximize efficiency to keep costs down
We have had numerous calls from our customers asking,“ Why am I using so much LP or Heating Oil, while it has been so warm this winter?” One may not think that it is possible with the warm temperatures we had during the winter. Compared to this time last year, we have had 613 more heating degree days. Degree days are calculated by the National Weather Service. Anytime the temperature gets below 60 degrees, we start calculating heating degree days. On a normal January day, we will commonly see 40 to 60 heating degree days.
Another factor to consider is the direction of the winds. Even though the earlier part of the winter season was fairly warm, our winds were out of the south, and a south wind brings moisture. Many homes

have their wind-breaks along the west and north sides, leaving the south open to the elements.
Our heating season will be coming to a close the end of April. Our drivers will be out using up the LP prepays and bookings
for those on the Scheduled Delivery Program. The Scheduled Delivery Program was set up to avoid customer run-outs and it helps us be efficient when we are routing our trucks.
We have added another element to this program by putting an onboard computer in one of our trucks that will include mapping software for greater efficiency.
Maximizing our deliveries and having scheduled routes helps to keep costs down per delivery, which also means that this will benefit you by keeping the cost of the products down.
We encourage everybody to be on the Scheduled Delivery Program. Call us anytime and we can further explain the benefits of the program.
