Get Ahead of the Cold: Your Fall Prep Guide with Quinoco

Fall is a season of transition and, as crisp mornings start to settle in, that includes your home’s energy needs. When it comes to home comfort, preparation is key, and no one understands that better than Quinoco. As a trusted local expert in heating oil, propane and HVAC services, they’re here to help homeowners feel ready when the temperature drops.

From locking in your fuel pricing and smart budgeting to upgrading your systems and ensuring everything is running efficiently, there are several proactive steps you can take to stay warm and save. Whether you’re a longtime customer or considering making the switch, here’s how Quinoco can help you step into fall with confidence.

Secure Your Oil and Propane Plans Early
Don’t wait until the first frost to think about your fuel provider. Quinoco offers home heating oil and propane pricing options designed to bring you peace of mind and budget protection.
Fixed Price Program: Lock in a predictable, per-gallon rate for the entire season.
Floating Price Program: Ride the market and take advantage of lower fuel prices when they drop.
Pre-Buy Price Program: Pay upfront at a guaranteed rate for your projected annual fuel usage.

If you’re new to Quinoco or are thinking about switching providers, they make it easy. Their team handles the entire transition so you’re ready before the chill sets in.

Take the Stress Out of Winter Bills
With Quinoco’s Advantage Budget Payment Plan, there’s no need to worry about fluctuating fuel costs wrecking your winter budget. This payment program is designed to protect you from winter bill spikes with one low, monthly payment. To determine your monthly payment, they average your heating costs over the last two years and divide it into 11 equal payments. During the heating season, Quinoco will periodically review your account and make necessary adjustments to the payment amount. It’s budget-friendly, stress-free and totally customizable to your household needs.

Fall Maintenance to Have a Comfortable Winter
A reliable heating season starts with proper maintenance. Now is the perfect time to schedule your annual tune-up. Routine service boosts system efficiency, helps prevent surprise breakdowns and saves you money long-term. And don’t forget your oil tank. It may be out of sight, but it shouldn’t be out of mind. Basement tanks typically last about 20 years and outdoor tanks about 10. Even if your tank isn’t leaking, signs of wear or age could mean it’s time for an upgrade. Quinoco’s expert team can inspect, remove and replace aging tanks—plus, they’re offering special savings on new Roth Oil Tanks through the end of October. Visit quinoco.com/oil-tank to learn more.

Say Goodbye to Summer with AC Upgrades
If your home’s air conditioner struggled to keep up this summer or if you’re still relying on an outdated system that uses R22/Freon refrigerant, it might be time to consider an upgrade. Whether you’re replacing an inefficient central air system or installing AC for the first time, Quinoco offers reliable solutions to enhance your home comfort. Today’s high-efficiency systems use less electricity to cool your home, thanks to improved Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings. That means you’ll stay cooler while using less energy and seeing the difference on your electric bill. Upgrading your central AC system is an investment, but one that pays off year after year through lower energy costs and more consistent comfort.

Energy Efficiency is the Name of the Game!
Looking for a smart upgrade that brings both comfort and cost savings? A new high-efficiency heating system could be the answer. These systems provide even temperatures, improved air quality through built-in filtration and burn fuel more cleanly for greater environmental impact. Look for systems with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating above 87%, which means over 87% of the fuel used goes directly toward heating your home. Now through November 30, you can receive over $600 in savings when you purchase and install a qualifying high-efficiency system with Quinoco, including the trusted Energy Kinetics lineup.
