In a move not being taken well by some customers, Downeast Energy has added a new fee called 'Hazmat Delivery Fee' to it's charges when delivering heating fuel.
A Maine government survey shows the state’s heating prices are continuing to slide downward. The Governor’s Energy Office said Thursday that the latest survey put the average statewide price at $2.08 a gallon.
The question is have you turned on your heat yet? Up until now I had been stubborn and have not. This morning we woke up to an inside temperature of 55 degrees. We had been using a space heater in the living room in the morning and evening to take the chill away for a few days now but it's time to turn on the furnace.
The price of gas had a fairly hefty jump in price this week and now I see the average cost of home heating oil is up too. Maine energy officials say the average cash price for heating oil is up 2 cents to $3.76 a gallon.
It's days like these that make me wonder why we decided to buy a house when renting was so much easier. I write this as I patiently wait for Ness Oil to come by and basically fill the oil tank.
