If you're new to oil and propane delivery, you may be wondering how to keep your heating costs manageable—especially as the seasons shift. At Levco, we’ve been helping Connecticut homeowners make smart, cost-effective fuel decisions for over 40 years. Whether you’re switching from electric heat or moving into a home with an existing system, a few simple strategies can go a long way in keeping your bills under control.

Here are five expert-backed tips to help you save money without sacrificing comfort.

1. Enroll in a Budget Plan Early

One of the easiest ways to take the sting out of heating costs is to spread payments evenly throughout the year. With our 12-month Budget Plan, you don’t have to worry about high bills during the colder months. Instead, you pay a consistent amount each month—making it easier to manage your household budget.

Bonus: There are no sign-up fees, and you can enroll any time of the year with Levco.

2. Set Up Automatic Delivery

Running out of fuel isn’t just inconvenient—it can also cost you in emergency delivery fees and potential equipment issues. Automatic delivery ensures you’ll never run out of oil or propane, and it often comes with built-in discounts or account perks. Our system monitors your usage and schedules deliveries before your tank runs low, giving you one less thing to worry about.

3. Use a Programmable Thermostat

Every degree counts when it comes to energy savings. Lowering your thermostat just 7–10 degrees for 8 hours a day can save up to 10% annually on heating. A programmable or smart thermostat makes this effortless. Set it to lower the heat when you’re asleep or away from home, then raise it before you return.

Levco can even help you choose and install the right thermostat for your system.

4. Schedule Annual HVAC Maintenance

A well-maintained heating system runs more efficiently, burns less fuel, and is less likely to break down. That means lower bills and fewer surprises in the middle of winter. Our certified technicians perform thorough inspections and tune-ups that keep your system running at its best—and help you avoid costly repairs.

5. Take Advantage of Referral Rewards

Did you know you can earn heating credit just by telling your friends about us? With the Levco referral program, you and anyone you refer will each receive a $50 credit when they sign up for automatic delivery. It’s a simple way to reduce your fuel costs and help someone else enjoy the same dependable service.
