Gress Oil: Residential, Commercial and Lubricants

Jay Gress, Inc. ♥ Their Customers – with Value-Added Full Service

2012-02-15T10:21:00.000-05:00

Valentine’s Day is here, and we want all our customers (and potential customers) know how much we care.

We know it’s not an easy time to be an Oilheat customer, with volatile energy prices and competitors either hawking cut-rate fuel prices that are too good to be true (and are!) or trying to get you to switch to other energy sources.

But we care enough for our customers to offer real value through full service features AND warm, personal attention you simply won’t find anywhere else.

• High-quality heating and cooling equipment for both homes and businesses
• Exceptional installations by our own professional, highly-trained technicians
• Caring customer service, and all calls answered by a real, live person – never an answering machine
• Rapid-response emergency service around the clock
• Products and services the competition doesn’t offer – like our comprehensive service contracts, fuel pricing plans, indoor air quality equipment, and our popular referral rewards program
• Helpful conservation advice to help you save energy and cash
• The opportunity for you to connect with us through Facebook and Twitter
• An extensive variety of commercial products and services

We pride ourselves as one of our area’s leading home comfort companies for a reason – our customers stay loyal to us for many years. They appreciate “the Gress Advantage” … and we appreciate your patronage.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Jay Gress, Inc., the comfort company with a ♥.

The Pipes Are Calling!

2012-01-16T11:24:00.001-05:00

Greetings from Jay Gress, Inc., and happy 2012. Now that the cold weather is a fact of life here at our Conshohocken headquarters, we want to remind you to take care of your pipes – your home’s water pipes and the pipe that leads to your heating oil tank from the outside of your home.

Don’t Let Your Water Pipes Freeze!
Cold weather can cause water pipes in the home to freeze and burst, causing thousands of dollars in potential damage – something our “snowbird” customers should especially consider! Before winter arrives, insulate exposed pipes in your home’s crawl spaces and attic … seal leaks that allow cold air inside where pipes are located … open cabinet doors to allow heat to get to uninsulated pipes under sinks and if possible, let warm water continuously drip, preferably from a faucet on an outside wall. Also, before you leave, set the thermostat no lower than 55°, and ask a neighbor to check your house daily.

Don’t Block Your Oil Fill Pipe!
We thank you for clearing a path to your oil fill pipe! Keeping the area free of ice and snow in winter will make it easier for our driver to deliver your oil. Remember, your safety is always our prime concern. If you are a senior citizen or have medical issues, please don’t do anything that might put your health at risk.

For more information, and other important winter advice and conservation tips, call Jay Gress, Inc. at 610-277-1000 or contact us.

Give Yourself the Gift of an Upgrade. It’s the Gift That Keeps on Giving!

2011-12-05T07:05:00.001-05:00

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” … to brave the crowds at the malls in our quest to get that perfect something for everyone on your holiday list!

Well, we at Jay Gress, Inc. think it’s time you gave yourself a gift! That’s right … the gift of energy efficiency – with a heating system upgrade.

Upgrading your boiler or furnace saves you energy and money – two very valuable gifts, indeed! If you can reduce your Oilheat consumption by one-third – which is possible if you own an older boiler or furnace – that’s like knocking several hundred dollars a year off your fuel bills. And some upgrades are even more effective – saving 40% or more! Better yet, a heating system upgrade is an investment that’ll see payback in just a few years, after which the savings will continue year after year.

It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

But that’s not all. This is your very last chance to take advantage of the federal tax credit for energy-efficient home improvements! If you install a qualifying heating system by December 31^st, you may be eligible for a generous federal tax credit. If you have any questions, please give us a call.

When it comes to the installation itself, your Energy Experts have the expertise to help you choose a system that is right for your home and budget. We will look at your home’s structure, the number of rooms, your family’s typical energy usage, and, of course, the efficiency of your current boiler, furnace or heat pump. Then we’ll do everything we can to help you save money without compromising comfort.

How do you know if you need an upgrade?
Here are 6 signs that you may need a new heating system

Your current boiler or furnace is over 15 years old
You’re renovating your living space
Your equipment needs frequent servicing
Your home is heated unevenly
Your energy costs are rising even when you turn the thermostat down
You’re simply not comfortable

What other kinds of upgrades can you do?If you are not ready for a complete heating system overhaul, there are other, smaller yet effective steps you can take to conserve energy – such as asking us to install a new “smart” burner control or programmable thermostat.

We are here to save you energy and money this holiday season and all throughout the year. For more information and conservation tips, call Jay Gress, Inc. at 610-277-1000 or contact us.

A Happy Holiday Season from Your Energy Experts!

Be Thankful for Fuel Assistance

Check back every two weeks or so for important conservation advice that can help you use less energy and save more money … plus other timely topics of interest to you. Happy reading!

Be Thankful for Fuel Assistance

When we gather at the Thanksgiving table on November 24^th, many Americans will give thanks for having food on the table and a warm home to dwell in.

Yet, many others – perhaps yourself or someone you know – may have to make a choice this heating season between feeding the family and keeping warm. That’s why we recommend looking into fuel assistance provided by LIHEAP, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

LIHEAP is a federally funded program that helps eligible households in meeting their home energy needs. LIHEAP also offers an emergency benefit for households in a heat or heat-related energy emergency. Additionally, LIHEAP offers a furnace repair and/or replacement benefit for households with inoperable heating equipment.

For further information and 2011-2012LIHEAP income guidelines, click here or contact your local county assistance office or the LIHEAP hotline, 1-866-857-7095.

More information on heating assistance in Pennsylvania can be found here, at the “State Low-Income Energy Assistance Snapshots” page of the LIHEAP Clearinghouse website.
