Holden Oil was represented in the Riverfest-Earth Day celebration on the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston last Friday. We helped man the Bioheat booth and explain the benefits of bioheat and biofuels from an oil dealers prespective. There were thousands of people and great music!
On Saturday April 30th, Holden Oil will be displaying a Dixie Chopper propane powered commercial lawn mower at the Peabody Green Fest being held at the Peabody Community Life Center on Central Street. Propane powered mowers and lawn equipment are environmentally friendly and are very economical. Come on down to see what is considered the best propane powered mower on the market along with other displays of environmentally friendly products offered by North Shore companies.
Located in Peabody, MA since 1924, Holden Oil is a provider of quality fuel and service. We supply propane gas, heating oil, diesel fuel, biofuel, equipment, and also serve as a gas station.

Equipment Rentals
Rental bills for Propane tanks and equipment have been sent out, as they have for over twenty years. The rental allows Holden Oil to maintain, and replace when needed, your propane tanks and regulating equipment. Just as the electric utility and the natural gas utility charge a minimum fee each billing cycle to keep you connected to the grid, Holden Oil must insure a minimum return from the very expensive equipment that is provided. We have worked to keep the rental charges among the lowest in the industry, despite the huge increases in the cost of the equipment.

End of another winter
Yes, even us heating guys are ready to head into spring! With the snow this weekend, you get really antsy for the grass to start growing and the trees to bud out. In the oil and propane business, a system called degree days is used to help figure out how much fuel oil or propane you consume. If this year seems as though you may have used more than last year, you probably did because that is what the degree days are telling us. From September 1 until March 31, there has been roughly 4.25% more degree days than last year. For the average home in the northshore area, that amounts to about 35 gallons more heating oil consumed. Unfortunately, the price of heating oil is just about one dollar per gallon higher than last year and propane is about thirtyfive cents higher so that increase in consumption feels even worse.
