What Fuel Is Right for Your Home?
Monday, January 4th, 2016All you have to do is look at a newspaper on any given day to see what a hot button issue fuel oil can be. But there are a number of people in our area who heat with oil and as such, need it all winter. One of the challenges of heating with oil is price fluctuation; another is the environmental impact.

We also care a great deal about our naturally beautiful New England environment, so we offer Bio Heat fuel oil to help offset price and environmental impact.

Why Won’t My Heat Pump Heat?
Monday, November 16th, 2015Here in the Northeast, our winters are very long, and very cold. There was a time when the severity of our winter weather meant that heat pumps simply were not a reliable heating option. Because heat pumps use existing heat in the air outside in order to facilitate the heating of one’s home, extremely cold temperatures could overwhelm the system, leaving homeowners uncomfortably cold in their own homes. Today’s heat pumps, though, are much more effective at operating in very cold temperatures. Just remember that your heat pump in Springfield, VT can still run into operational problems, just like any other home heating system. If you find that your heat pump just won’t blow hot air, one of the following issues may be to blame. Contact HB Energy Solutions for your heat pump service needs. (more…)
