-
How Does Levco Know When I Need an Oil or Propane Delivery?
Levco uses a proprietary system to calculate and schedule the appropriate time for your next delivery. This system is based on factors like your delivery history, the size of your tanks, and the weather. Based on these factors, Levco can schedule accordingly and make timely deliveries to your home. We also offer propane tank monitor rentals as an additional measure of customer peace of mind.
-
What Do I Do if I Run Out of Oil or Propane?
It’s not likely that you will run out of oil or propane while being on Levco’s automatic delivery program, but if you do, give us a call immediately and the next available technician will be at your house to resolve the issue.
If you expect your usage to change, (maybe Grandma moved in and likes it warmer, or the kids are home from college and everyone’s taking showers) just let us know, and we can adjust our scheduling to keep you from running out.
During storms, we kindly ask you to keep driveways plowed and the area around your oil fill or propane tanks cleared. If a driver feels a delivery is unsafe, they will pass by and try again the next day.
-
What Do I Do if I Have a Heating Emergency?
- Don’t panic.
- Be sure that the oil burner switch is on.
- Your thermostat should be set above room temperature.
- Check the gauge on your fuel tank to make sure it isn’t empty.
- Press the reset button on the unit ONCE ONLY!
- Check to see if the flame comes on.
- If the burner does not run at all, check the circuit breaker.
- If the burner still fails to operate, call us for a service.
-
What Do I Do if I Have an Air Conditioning Emergency?
- Check that your thermostat has power (replace the batteries if necessary).
- Make sure the thermostat is switched to cool and is set below room temperature.
- Check that you haven’t tripped the circuit breaker.
- Change your air filter(s).
- If your AC still fails to operate, call us for a service.

Do You Offer Free Quotes on Equipment Replacement?
Yes. Levco is happy to provide free quotes to our customers. We work with the top brands in the industry and can provide you with a comparison of options as well as our best advice for replacement, helping you find a system that matches your home’s needs and your budget.
-
Can I Set Up a Budget Plan?
Yes. Budget plans are a great way to spread out the cost of heating oil and propane throughout the year.
Managing heating oil and propane expenses is easier with our 10-month Equal Payment Budget Plan, which runs from July through April. This plan spreads out your heating costs over the year, making your monthly payments more predictable and manageable.
Here’s how it works:
- July to April: Make equal monthly payments based on your estimated annual heating usage.
- May and June: We’ll reconcile your account, adjusting for any remaining balance or credit to ensure your account is up-to-date.
There’s no additional fee to join Levco’s Budget Plan. Please note that costs for any necessary service calls are billed separately at the time of service.
-
How Can I Expect to Receive Communications from Levco?
Heating oil and propane receipts are left at your door or mailbox at the time of delivery. We will also mail you a copy of the statement after the office has processed your delivery. If you’d rather receive your statements via email, just let us know!
Other communications, including maintenance reminders, are done by email or phone call.
