The Massachusetts legislature recently passed a new law (Chapter 453) which requires upgrades to heating oil lines in residential heating systems. This law requires that all heating oil lines must be upgraded before July 1, 2010 if they are in direct contact with a floor surface and do not meet certain specifications. The law requires:1. the line be encased in a continuous non-metalic sleeve; or 2. an oil safety valve be installed to manufacturers specifications; or 3. employ other release prevention measures approved by the state's Board of Fire Prevention Regulations. The law also requires insurance companies to offer pollution liability coverage to homeowners in case of a leak.
Many homes are already in compliance but a great deal are not. It is very important that your heating oil line be upgraded if it is not in compliance. Our heating oil Technicians have been providing information to customers for several years now and recommending upgrades but now it has become law. Through the Tanksure program that we participate in, your oil tank and line are thoroughly inspected and evaluated during your annual maintenance visit and you are informed of needed work.

Heating Oil and Bioheat
Heating oil prices are now more than 50% less than last year at this time- what a difference a year makes. Did the wild prices of last year help pull down the economy or did the slumping economy help pull down the prices? Probably both.
Holden Oil is looking closely at the different alternatives for those who want some type of price protection plan for this coming winter. There has not been much interest expressed so far after the success of not having a price protection plan last year. I would welcome any views that you may have.
Bioheat- a blend of heating oil and biodiesel made from waste vegetable oils and animal fats- is available and being delivered by Holden Oil on a daily basis throughout the Northshore and Essex county. Bioheat is compatible with your existing heating equipment, burns cleaner and costs no more than regular heating oil. Call today to get set up with clean, renewable bioheat by Holden Oil

Fourth of July celebrations are over and we are still waiting for the first extended blast of warm weather and sunshine. Don’t let the chill stop you from swimming- heat your pool! The pool heating experts at Holden Oil can help you enjoy your pool despite the dreary weather by installing a propane pool heater.
Have you ever run out of propane gas while grilling a meal? Holden Oil can supply you with a number of solutions to keep the cookout a success. Our propane refill station is open everyday during the cookout season to provide quick and convenient refills. We stock propane gas cylinders at very competitive prices so you can always have a spare propane cylinder on hand. If you have a propane gas system on your house or pool, we can install a “grill box” to just plug in a special hose and eliminate the trip to visit us. Let Holden’s keep your grill cooking.
