OilAlert—How it Works
OilAlert is a monitoring device that lets the homeowner know
when it is time to order more oil. OilAlert is easily installed by
the homeowner in three basic steps:
| How
it Works |
| 1, Place the magnet on the oil gauge indicator
as shown. |
2. Place the transmitter collar over the plastic
dome on the oil gauge set at the ¼ tank level. |
3. Install the receiver unit in the kitchen in
a convenient place, such as near the telephone. |

When the level of oil in the tank reaches the ¼ mark, OilAlert
activates the transmitter and sends a signal to the receiving unit
in the kitchen in the form of a red flashing light or beeping sound.
The light will remain on until the oil delivery is made and the
tank is filled past the ¼ level.
The number-one reason why people run out of oil is simply because
they forget to check the gauge. OilAlert prevents this from ever
happening again, allowing for a worry-free heating season year after
year.
Why OilAlert Works for Auto Delivery
Customers
Traditionally, home heating oil is delivered by large oil companies
on an automatic delivery basis, using a “degree day”
system to keep track of the homeowner’s oil usage. This means
that deliveries are typically made every three to four weeks during
the heating season. This automatic delivery service raises the cost
of oil anywhere from 25 to 50 cents per gallon.
Auto delivery is far from foolproof, however. Oil companies rely
on computers to track the degree system and determine when homeowners
are “due” for another delivery. Human error and computer
glitches often result in homeowners running out of oil. Just one
minor mistake can change the degree day system’s ability to
accurately keep track of the next delivery date. Unfortunately this
happens frequently, making even automatic delivery customers susceptible
to oil run outs, and leaving them to deal with the inconvenience
and extra expense of emergency oil deliveries.
With OilAlert you will never have to pay special service fees to
have your furnace restarted. Oil companies providing automatic delivery
can also gain peace of mind from OilAlert, knowing that even if
their computer has a glitch, OilAlert is on the job providing valuable
back-up support.
NEVER RUN OUT OF OIL AGAIN!
Why OilAlert Works for C.O.D. Customers
Enterprising minds realized that they could sell oil to customers
on a C.O.D. basis at 25 to 50 cents less per gallon than the large
oil companies.
In today’s unpredictable economic climate, homeowners are
always looking for ways to save money. OilAlert puts the C.O.D.
customer in financial control by enabling you to know not only when
its time for more oil, but how much oil you actually need.
OilAlert is your insurance
policy against the possibility of ever running out of oil again.
OilAlert is a must-have for your peace of mind!
NEVER RUN OUT OF OIL AGAIN!
